I could probably run 12s with just tires, the car's still stock for the most part, I do have a different turbo, manifold, downpipe, maf, and fuel pump sitting in boxes at my house, but my Wideband sensor isn't working correctly. I need to send in a warranty claim for it.

Trans fluid makes worlds of difference, I went from having issues shifting and syncros/trans exploding twice to having 0 issues at all, much easier to shift and just better all together.

It was pretty gay, I literally got there and got out of the car then the cops pulled up and told everyone to leave. I just hung out with Aaron for a while, gave him a quick run, and that's about it.

Here's something you can do without getting into trouble: Northern California Racing Club - Schedule of Events

I'm signed up for the March 30/31 weekend at Buttonwillow. Its only about $100 a day. That's pretty damn cheap, especially for a weekend. If anyone is interested let me know and we can split hotel rooms to save some dough and keep it cheap. It takes about 3 hours to get there from the Bay Area so you don't want to try and drive down there the morning of the event.
