just thought i'd let you know the Hankook Hyper Drives are coming up, at Hyperfest at summit point race way!!! it may be a distance for u, but it's soooo worth it and i highly recomend it! $40 for 20 min session, you can sign up for as many as you want! basically a HPDE or track day, but instead of paying $250+, it's $40!!! register soon if you want a spot. choose from 4 sessions i think. I'll be there, but i donno if i'll race cuz idk if my celica will hold up :-/ if not, i'll be taking pics!

Hyperfest Home page my friends went last year, and they said it was awsome!!

the guy had a butt load of driving experience.
he was stationed in japan. had an R32, did gymkhana and raced on the mountain roads with his buddies.
i underestimated him at first.

last weekend i was about one second behind a older civic. Its so hard to keep up with them because their so small. The course was mostly really tight turns. I did manage to beat a prelude though. So i was happy about that.

Very nice wheels! The white compliments your "perrywinkle" laugh.gif quite nicely.

I don't think your bumpers are faded, doesn't the plastic just take to the paint differently? Fading looks different, I know because the top of my front bumper is beginning to do so. frown.gif frown.gif frown.gif

i think so too. i think the plastics absorb the paint more.
oh well. it doenst bug me too much or else it would have already been fixed lol

thanks for all the compliments. i wanted to go big with rims. and to think i was the car with the crappiest rims at meets.
did a bit of a 180

So what fancy nuts are you going to go with to make em baller tiga?

[b]My Build Thread|Flickr|My Blog
the autozone ones that are on there now lol

i have decided to switch from F Street Prepared to Street touring.
I race in 2 regions. Susquehanna and Philly. Susq has about 5 competitors and Philly has none. The competitors all have Rcomp tires and are alot lighter.
Since i am still on street tires and can afford any Rcomps at the time i thought it would be best to move down to Street Touring. There are a large amount of competitors in both regions and i think i could place in the class as well

sweet. good choice. lots of competition, but everyone is on a budget or isn't too serious, so its still fun. Co-drove my friends Integra a couple weeks ago, and placed second out of 13, beating out 4 of my friends (including my friend who owned the car).

Make sure u read the rule book over. I know off the top of my head, no 3pt strut bars, interior completely in, and the bar on the floor in the backseat might have to go (if you still have it)

st over here is basically all the basic bolt ons; header, strut tower bar, exhaust, cone filter intake, sway bars, lowered, and up to i think 235 tires. Just some of the top of my head
