Actually, that's really good advice! Thanks.

Tom drove really well and seemed to enjoy it.

I've been signed off for Group 3 at Beaverun and am working on 3 at MidOH. (Passing whole course except braking zone) The autocross experience helped alot. I just need to get the ***** to carry deeper at the ends of the straights.

I rode with 2 different group 3s in 2 different cars. It was excellent experience to see how hard and deep they go. A little unsettling with the passing in the turns too. That'll take some getting used to. (Even bigger *****!)

Had fun playing a little greyhound-rabbit chasing Optical TDI around the course. We were pretty close in ability, but he's a little faster than I am. Interesting to see him faster in some parts, and me faster in others on the course. Tried to learn from each other. Good guy!

 

I see there's a fun day at Nelson Ledges on Friday Aug 7. Anybody going??? Tony, RK? Brian?

 

Yeah, i'd like to take a look at them. Maybe I'll just use the hockey gloves.

 

No. I may be going to the one on the 24th or 25th but that's iffy. My last event is Aug 1st/2nd. After that the car will get sold if I can find someone who wants it all or the reversion to stock begins.

 

BRIAN!

That's right. Normal profile clear corners. You're dreams have been answered!

 

Don't like them because they are truly clear.

 

Don't give him anymore excuses to get those orange things off of his car.

 

Im really happy that they made a form fitting clear corner...just think that the really clear corner would look silly.

 

The only Fun Days I can squeek are on Saturdays as of right now. I'd love to go but I probably won't get out till the end of the year.



I would love to see that


HOLY TITTYFUCKING CHRIST ON A BURNING CROSS!!!!

I am sooooo ordering those.. 100% Serious.

Nice find Ryan

 

Guess we're going to see on a Shinka...

 

ZOMG, clear corners that sit flush with the car. :shock:

They actually look pretty nice!

 

TJ, what's going on with your springs? Do you still want me to put them on this Saturday, or are you going to wait/return them? I asked a few days ago but never got a response.

Let me know.

 

im gonna wait a little bit and put a feeler thread out there and see if anyone will buy them. sorry i didnt answer before though.

on a different note, i got pulled over in north royalton (again) and they asked why i still didnt have a front license plate (again) and this time i got a nice ticket to go along with all the warnings a have already. what the hell.
anyone else ever have this problem? for some reason its only in north royalton, thats the fifth time.

 

No more driving in North Royalton for you lol. They've always been a very stuck up area as far as their patrolling goes. I'm not so surprised, just curious... how many warnings?

 

Damn TJ... its bad when the police know you that well.
BTW... did you get the AEM yet?

 

Curious TJ, what part of the police enforcing the laws of the state of Ohio confuses you? Especially after being warned!

 

Doc has a point... its not like you haven't been warned (multiple times).
Hopefully you have a front plate on now... RIGHT?!

 

But the front plate might cover up his ghey *** chrome strip thingy.

 

You guys are brutal right now.


I love it.


But srsly man, after two warnings I think I would have fixed it before I got a ticket. They do keep those warnings on file you know. I'm actually surprised they gave you more than one. Typically if you get more than one warning within (1) year the next one is a ticket.

 

Is that the voice of experience Brian??

 

Fortunately no, kinda

I have gotten warnings before, both verbal and written. If you get a written warning it says right on the warning something along the lines of "If same offense is committed within one year of this warning blah blah blah you get a ticket"

Obviously it is up to the cops discression, which is why I am assuming he was pulled over and warned so many times that they figured it was just time to give him a ticket and hurt him in the wallet.

 

Those written warnings are agency only though. Meaning if he got dinged down here for a plate we wouldn't know about his prior warnings up there. Probably just got the same officer pulling him over.

That's the downside for having a fairly unique car. Hell, you think being recognized by the fuzz is bad? Try being recognized by the local criminal element.

Also, sorry for being away for so long. This upcoming wedding stuff is killing me.

 

alright guys let me explain the story, and no i havent fixed it yet and im fighting it.

i got pulled over a week after owning the car by highway patrol for it and they told me that they wont mess with people if they have the plate in the window and that most judges are cool with it too but it isnt legal though. so i did that, and north royalton pulled me over for it four times (including yesterday) but he said last night that only one was on file so he thought it was the second time only, hence the ticket this time.

and jon i dont think im getting the aem anymore, depending on if the springs sell and negotiations with the parents i may leave the intake stock and get the midpipe john just put on his car.

 

You'll get more out of the mid-pipe than the intake anyway.

 

hey guys anyone know on the mazdaspeed bumper if you HAVE to cut out the grill for the fog lights? or can u just put the fog lights behind the grill?
