What up NorthWest... Im up in Portland visiting my girlfriend for a few weeks. Not with my car tho.. Seeing if there were any meets so i could see how the NW does it!

 

Welcome up here from the hell of Cali, I just moved from there and learned the NW doesn't hang, haha.

They do however have more car shows.

 

Thanks! I lived in Gresham for a few years. Any shows comin up?

 

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.

Still tryin to get a pic up. Went to another 8thGen...SI meet yesterday..sonic then to Skycart and BBQ. Got a lot of great pics of a couple of Acura's there. Wish I could post them!

 

How long are you in pic jail? haha

 

Hey i was at the Sykart show. Wonder if you got pictures of my car.

 

I don't know... 5 posts I have to make I think...
Not sure how many I have made yet... Hopefully soon!

 

you are at post number 5 now...

 

Anyone have a 12 gauge that can take 3 1/2 inch shells? i bought a box by accident.. I will sell cheap.. they are nitro steel magnums let me know

 

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.

 

Ohhhhh.....yaaaaaa...you were behind me when I was tryin to "drift" LOL around that corner... That was some great fish tail action.
... I hate that traction control crap.. Glad you came out! I had a lot of fun! Hope to see you at more!

 

car looks good kat

 

Thanks! Nothing too special too it. Just rims. Want to paint my Calibers red to match my Momos and I think Im going to the silver on the front grill painted black and change my symbols to red. Just have to figure out who is going to do it for me. Then it will look different.

 

haha... painting is the easy part its prepping and waiting for it to dry is the bummer side..

 

I'll look and see if my semi auto can take those.

 

hmm have a dilemma, sitting on my stock wheels the offset is so massive I can really slam it now.... so tempted? Maybe another half inch to 3/4 down possibly? Serious tuck maybe? Thoughts?

 

SWEET

 

stock wheels? or the type-s wheels?? and why you always gotta mess with the height? cant you pick a level??

 

Finally put on my last peice of the pulleys.. and having an issue with the pulley belt.. i have been to baxters auto 3 times now with different belt sizes.. tomorrow im going for the 4th.. i think i have it narrowed down now though.. hopefully i will be up and running by tomorrow evening again.. UGH.. the wait

 

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

 

Hahaha.. just noticed Kyles avatar.. nice.....

 

w00t, got my Oregon plates.

No more getting ran off the road and tailgated!!!

 

I still know you're from california....

 

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.

 

 

damn californians... need to go back!! haha.. arnold must really suck as a govenor if peeps leave that state..

 

finally got my pulley on.. and let me say WOW.. the combo took forever to figure out.. so i feel for anyone who did the same pulley setup as me..

I can say I do feel a smidge faster though =)

 

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.

 

So who else is lovin' this weather?

 

I certainly am. I have an early tee time at The Reserve on Thursday.

 

(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

 

yup!! but it might rain next tuesday
