    PIR Open Time

    It was a lot of fun. Ive never seen so many nice local cars together at once. I went two times. I was in the stock looking red Forester. Man I wish I had my suspension parts before today! Contemplated one more round but figured Id better stop beating on the car.

    PIR Open Time

    You guys should have been out there today on the road course. The 45mph paced didnt hold up. I saw 90mph on several occassions! It was a blast.

    PIR Open Time

    Drag racing is $25, and I would imagine most will need a new card as well, so count on it being in the $35 range unless your card is still good.

    Anybody heading to PIR this weekend?

    During the day there is a $10 donation for a parade lap, $25 to drag in the evening. Road racing is hosted by the Porsche club on Sunday. Ribbon will be cut at 10:00 AM on Saturday. Everyone is welcome, I'll be there. I think it's in the $35 range if its your first time to race, theyll give...

    Those that Dune ride....

    I was too, but then remembered he was in the works of a new motor and his last setup was still fast. Then I saw the 70rwhp and knew I had nothing on it! I have a YFZ450, WR crank, CP Wicked 13.5 piston, Crower Victory cam, Curtis Sparks exhaust, KW dual spring valve kit, +1mm SS valves, port...

    Those morons are at it again...

    Haha, good luck proving its a 1.9! I could only imagine. And it wasnt bought after 2009. You do currently own it, right? If not, you've got the rest of this month and 10 more month ahead to buy it! Not sure if they mean new models or any year... didnt read that far. Look at the hike from...

    Those morons are at it again...

    Well... I know what they are thinking. They are thinking that they need more money some how, but they lack the capacity to shift their spending. They need money for fixing up Seattle so their votes keep pouring in from the heart of this state. So what they do, is throw more tax out...

    Those that Dune ride....

    saleenster, what motor did you put in there? 70whp is just insane from such a small single cylinder. But that torque... :rlaugh: Sorry... I converted to OHCs a few years back and low the low end grunt. You should take it out to PIR and run. Throw a wheelie bar on there if the +8" isnt enough...

    Portland, Or

    Ive heard good and bad. I had never been there myself, I am a loyal Blue Oval/All Ford guy (although I no longer own a Ford, I still bought a non-Ford item from BOP for my current ride because I knew I could get it from them and Chung is a straight shooter). However, Fast lowballed All Ford...

    Alignment shops

    Excellent. About how much will this set me back? The only alignment Ive had to take care of was on a work truck at Schwab... and I have no idea what all is involved when they do the alignments.

    Alignment shops

    Who in the Vancouver area is well known for alignments? I'll be looking for a custom/performance alignment here pretty soon and want a good shop to do it so the numbers match... equal toe and camber for each side. Rootus... you arent the only 2.5 turbo guy lurking around here now... mine is...

    Are craigslist people really flaky or what?

    I try make things as painless as possible. My last purchase was a 1987 Subaru Justy (dont laugh). I emailed the guy with an offer, told him at that price, I will pick it up the following day. I ended up meeting the guys son. Gave him the cash. He asks, "dont you want to test drive it?" I...

    local ford dealership/tramission problems

    Time to do some research on the Magnuson-Moss Act. As for Vancouver Ford, Ive heard their techs are flat out dishonest. However, Ive had the opposite experience. Before my brand new 2003 FX4 Ranger ever saw 5,000 miles, it had a whining rear end, bad transfer case (when 4x4 engaged, it would...

    SRT10...

    I wouldnt think the Saleens are in the S197 weight range, even with the extra equipment (it is a convertable, too, however). It was funny, every time he was behind me, I could tell when he stomped the peddle, it looked like he was brighting me. :D My goodness are they boaty! I actually...
