STS!! Crap! You guys are killing me! Between Kevin and Lee kicking my butt all year, now we have the alien protege coming in to play. I quit!


I'm planning on having the Contour back up and running for STS. :twisted:

I'm looking for an STS-prepped 89-ish Civic Si. Should drop about a second vs. my times with the 2.5RS.

So what are you planning to do to in order to keep up, Les?

:twisted:


Not much more I can do to the old sled without spending a bunch of money which I'm certainly not going to do. We'll see what you can do without "the beauty of all wheel drive", personally I'm skeptical. :wink: Besides, I'm used to getting my ass whipped by Honduhs.

You're doing that for NCSU, right? Are these open to the public, current NCSU students, alumni?

Next year, ahhhhh there's always next year :)

Switching my car over to DSP (now that alot of my mods are DSP legal) and have an almost new set of 245 R comps on the way to me.

I also hope to make more than 3 events (the least Autoxing I have done in 8 years).

I knew it wouldn't be long before the STS Civics started showing up.

Depending on what breaks on the Focus (new clutch = chance to install LSD), I may move to STX. Waiting for the new crop of tires to decide on 15in wheels.

Oh yeah - and building a 'new' track car:

Don't worry, Chris. If I ever get an STS Civic, I'll let you co-drive it sometime so you can show me how fast it will really go. :D

Yeah, I keep talking about it, but I keep going back to the 2.5RS. It's just so much fun to toss it around.

Just hoping some more people will show up in ES. Might get some new OEM suspension bushings; other than that the regular jobs of tidying up the electrical madness and odd sounds the car makes...

My dad might be getting a boxster S with some good options. Are those AS or SS?

Another year of working on the 914. :?

Basically my time is limited, so my progress is slow. However, I am making progress. (Cross fingers) I may be ready for paint toward the middle of next year. After that it will probably be 2-3 months of assembly.

http://motorsport.zyyz.com/project_914_Blog.htm

If I can find someone who will let me co-drive, I will probably try to do at least one autocross next year.

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than a Kia.

I may come play in G stock (or H...I need to check), or STX/S.

I need to see where the Altima fits.
