Hey all today is friday jan 4 2008 and i wanted to introduce myself to the PNW. I just drove up from sunny San Diego to gloomy and pooring ran Seattle or Puyallup in my case. I know theirs quite of few members on here that are active in putting meets together and i was wondering when and where. Didnt really see a thread for it..if i missed it i apologize. Hope to get a chance to roll with you all when the weather gets better and if anyone can point me in a super bad *** alarm for the Z. What shops are here that will install for a manual for alittle more thanks again hope to hear from you all
~cheers

Welcome

 

Oh man......... San Diego -> Seattle at this time of year? That must've been a shock to the system. I have a buddy that just crossed the Siskiyous coming up from LA yesterday and said it was pretty hairy. and he had a AWD Subie. To make that drive w/ a Z is commendable to say the least!

Welcome to the Pacific Northwest.

 

Welcome to the PNW.

My first suggestion for you is to get tires that are appropriate for the weather up here at this time of year. The stock tires can be a death trap for anything other than a tiny bit of rain -- and this is the time of year we can get that white, slippery stuff called snow. Run, don't walk, to tirerack.com and get a set of winter wheels and tires, but good all-seasons are all you'll need for tires.

 

^i'm fine with my stock re050's, and my rear tires are pretty bald

if its snowing, its prolly a better idea not to drive a rwd car

oh, and welcome, see u at our dyno day meet

 

ooohhhh....do you by chance AutoX!?!?! (with your SN, I'm hoping so) It'd be great to get some more VQ35's out there!

 

Heeeeeyyyyy... whad'ya mean by that? You think just because someone has SOLO in the User name means that they autoX?

 

actually i do autox and wanna get into it over here...man weather has been weird lately but its just how i left it back in oct...excited about the dyno day meet sounds awesome.. thanks for input bro! The drive up was pretty intense with the snow and the rain..i was thinking about turning it around lol but im here had a chance to check out Seattle a bit it was a nice morning with the sun than out of no where...32deg (according to the Z) can't wait to hit up the mountains to go boarding..in the mean time so you all around town

nice! The autoX season should start soon...the 3 main autoX groups are:

1) www.wwscc.org (it's made up of several smaller car clubs, and holds a whole autoX series - they usuaully run up in Everett).


2) http://www.bscc.net/ (they run out at bremerton)
3) http://www.nwr-scca.org/ (SCCA mainly runs down in Packwood, which depending on where you're at, can be a long drive.)

there's more clubs, and track/drag racing stuff too...
