I will try to attend the meet on the 19th. Have a beach trip planned that weekend. Maybe if it was a little later. I know some of you have met at Sonic in Hillsboro on Friday nights. Is that happening this Friday?

there's plenty wrong with this '91 teg. We were going to turn it into a track car, so its almost completely stripped. All of the paint is pwned, the front end was in a minor collision before I purchased it... the car looks like a pile.

But... we've changed out the tranny for a JDM b16 SIR tranny w/short gears, short shifter, put a stage 1 clutch, replaced all of the suspension bushings with poly, lowered it on skunk2 coils, retrofitted an RSX short ram intake, lots of maintenance junk, etc.... it drives like a go-cart, it looks like its one step away from the crusher.

The track aspirations were put on hold when my buddy wrecked his car and I ended up loaning him the teg as a DD. He's been driving it for 10 months now. jeeez

i'm not sure if i'll keep that long. bought it for 2800, thinking to resell it for 3500 or higher. or i can keep it and do a 5spd tranny swap. or since most parts are in clean condition, i can part out the whole car

News sources also release that Portland has the highest unemployment spike and is ranked in the second 20 weakest cities in the nation. So what does that add up to? More courteous drivers on the road!

But it's the truth. 40 at the curves is bullshit. I've taken those things at 80 once just to see how the car would handle em when it was rainin and had no probs. Other people are just p**sies..

maybe because you want to impress your friends with authentic JDM trim?

Seriously...when I was down in LA sure it was scary at first but once I got used to it I never felt like my life was in danger due to sheer STUPIDITY of other drivers. Love going 70 down 26...people staring at you thinking things like, "Oh my God look at the hooligan go. He is going to kill somebody."

Somehow I doubt that someone rolling down the road in an RL gets called a "hooligan"... LOL
