Seattle Meet (idea thread)
#42
I still say south of Seattle. It always always always always rains in Seattle.....well at least for the last 2 years worth of Seattle meets.! Southcenter sounds great! It's in the middle and as I recall it was sunny at southcenter while it was raining at last years magnuson park meet. As a matter of fact it was sunny from 2 minutes south of magnusson all the way home to Poor Tortured.

This year I think it would be way sick to have the meet down south. Maybe Olympia. Imagine the photo ops cruising accross our state's capitol. There are many parks and windy roads and such.

I just want to cruise with a gang of Acuras like the trip we took to BC last year. We pulled in to the park with like 25 pimped ass rides and had everyone jockin.

Safety Car
how about we coordinate the meet with an autocross event? I think there is an event in Everett on 24-25...its like $30-35 for basically an all-day event. It was a lot of fun last time I went, and rain or shine it'll be entertaining regardless

I took the Proformance Race School this spring. It was $475 I think for the all-morning classes and an entire afternoon of open-lapping with an instructor. Probably the most fun I've ever had in any sport. You need to take a follow-up course for $275 to complete the classes and get the ok to do solo open-lapping. Each track day is $175 + tires, brakes, oil, brake fluid, gas, etc. Not a cheap sport but worth every penny.

I know it's off topic.. but I need some input from my fellow washington ppl.. since it rains a lot here.. do any of you run a CAI setup.. without worrying about hydrolocking.. i'm talking about injen.. or aem without bypass.. not comptech.
My friend has an integra and switched from CAI to short ram.. cuz of the 'risk' in seattle. He just scared the shit out of me..

i would stick with shortram if i was u ... its pretty much the same amount of performance.. and its safer in seattle
one big puddle can mess up your car if u have CAI

comptech icebox is great and all.. but the price is too expensive IMO.. if i where u .. i would just buy a injen or a AEM off ebay.. u could probably pick one up for around 200 (brand name)
generic ones run around 30-50 bucks

as long as u dont live out in the boonies.. i dont think u have to REALLY worry about water getting in your intake.. my buddy in his civic has no problems.. and he's been driving around for like 3 years in seattle with a CAI

I think the track would be a good meet spot. You know we're not going to get kicked out and we can check out other cars as well.

Since it's real race track i'm sure there will be way more than enough parking for a tiny little car meet like ours. They normally have to accomidate large crowds. Then maybe we can just bumrush the track haul ass![Pimp](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/pimp.gif)

And from that point you know there's got to be some sweet Mt. pic spots.

I'm so excited for our Seattle meet. I don't know of any good places because i'm not experienced in the 'meet' aspect. Hurry and find a location!
On another note (i'm really sorry guys), but people never respond me in normal threads. Does anyone know of a good shop where I can get my H&R sports installed for cheap? Preferably around Bellevue (the east side). Is under $150 a normal price?

I ran the AEM intake for 4 years in Seattle. The only way you're going to hydrolock the engine is to completely submerge the end of the intake below water. To do that you literally have to drive through about 10 inches of water. Otherwise, it is impossible to suck up enough water to cause a problem. Just avoid running your car into any lakes and you'll be fine! Plus, nothing sounds as good as the AEM.

$150 is a very reasonable price but it isn't a very hard DIY mod. Change to some Koni Yellows while you're at it!
