    PIR had a test and tune yesterday starting at 9. Not too eventful though...some 10 sec. muscle cars. Woodburn got cancelled because the track was still wet. They open this coming weekend. PIR has another test and tune on Friday at 4pm, too.

    Springs , what exactly did you buy? I thought your trying out that ebay setup coilovers with struts. Did you get something else, just the coilovers or maybe just springs? If you bought that coilover w/strut setup, I sincerly hope you did not waste your money. Poor performing struts are such a waste on a 3g.

    yeah, I did buy that coilover and strut set up on e-bay. I hope I'm not wasting my money either. how ever coilovers are the way I wanted to go, and If(or when) I need to buy new struts i.e. something(koni or blisten)revalved to give me the better performance later than I didn't pay very much for the struts that I just bought. besides I'm mostly going for the look right now, I'm not going to auto x the accord for a little while, and the drive to work only takes 10 min.
    It's still really exciting for me though

    I was thought about trying to go to woodburn this weekend but I knew my mom would get pissed If, on the weekend I came over to visit, I all of the sudden said " gotta go to the races, see you next time I come down". didn't see that conversation going well.
    plus I wasn't really sure where woodburn was until I saw the sign on the way home
