Honestly I have no idea.

I know there is one here around Mcminnville July 12ish and that's all I know.

I just got up here a few weeks ago so I haven't really checked around.

Hey Kat, I was the black 2dr Si you were chasing around on the freeway LOL.

The meet was good times. I'm hurting a little bit from a huge collision with Jaret right at the end of carting. I enjoyed chatting and getting to know everyone.

Well when I had the front bumper off I noticed my TL-S wheels tires were shot so I had to put the stock wheels/tires back on. Now with the massive offset of the stock wheels I can go lower... haha And no, I can't pick a level!!! lol I should have just got springs and shocks and I wouldn't have the option of adjusting haha

I remember when I had my California plates - 16 years ago . I didn't have any problems then with Oregonians having problems with Californians. There's so many up here now - I must see about 4-5 CA plates every day, just about everywhere I go.

What pulley did you put on? UR? NST? Underdrive? Good job, doing it yourself!

I have the UR undersize crank pulley. I felt a difference, but I got the intake, headers and pulley installed at the same time at SC. It was easy finding belt for the UR because they're listed on the instructions as well as the UR site.

(deep breath) soooooooooo i got the NST OEM size lightweight pulley (which turned out to be still smaller then my OEM..long story in itself) then since NST doesnt make a light power steering pulley i had to special order a Ralco RZ pulley seperate from the there lightweight kit since UR wont sell individual pulleys.. and I also purchased an NST altenator pulley (which revs the altenator faster).. which is what i just put on.. so normally they call for a K070673 gates pulley belt.. in there normal kit but since all my pulleys are mismatched it was a pain to figure the right belt.. ended up with the k070685 which is perfect.. Stock is K070690 so im pretty much stock with lighter pulleys and a faster reving altenator pulley... Confused now? haha
