Crap, that sucks Matt. She better be hot.
![]() Anyway, how about making this into a real road trip and hitting some better roads on the drive: ![]() We can leave from my house at 2pm, and get to Sac around 5 or 5:30, which is plenty of time to make the In-n-Out meet. We'll get to see Tahoe, and drive 49 to Auburn, which is a fun road IIRC. Who's down?

Hey, hope you guys had fun. I was just ahead of you. I didn't do the highway 49 part; that should have been fun if traffic wasn't too bad. Picked up my daughter in South Shore this morning, brought her to Chico. I came back highway 70 up the Feather River. That's a fun road, especially when the traffic is light, like today!

Actually it was tons of fun. The drive down all 5 cars hadwalky-talky's so that of course made the drive very interesting and fun. BAN SUVS said he counted 35 cars at one point. Thats a damn big meet!!!
We had no problems with the law either. I will post some pics later today. The drive back was a blast also, even though we were minus one vehicle. Here are the pics listed on NASIOC: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...89#post4479889 And of course the best pic of all: ![]()

Yeah, the meet had a pretty big turn out!
I was there until about 9:30 hanging with Kevin (BAN SUVS) and a WRX owner (I totally forgot his name/handle...) IMO, best of show goes to Egan's black WRX Wagon. VF30, Vishnu intercooler, fuel rails, injectors, pump, Xede, JIC coilovers... not to mention all the cool interior goodies... a very sick ride! Looks like trhe Sac guys are going to try and make this a weekly deal... at a better location (less traffic)... so if we ever get some free weekends, we can go hit 'em up again!

And I would definatly like to go down again some time. (As long as its in a different spot. And I do agree, that Wagon took 'Best of Show'.

However... When was the last time a show car got a $1M bonus for winning a car show? In 1985 Bill Elliot won the Winston Million (Jeff Gordon also won it in 1997...), before and since then huge purses are up for grabs worldwide for autoracing events. Name 10 people famous for building show cars. Andretti, Earnhardt, Shumacher, McCrae, de Ferran, Grist, Fittipaldi, Unser, Gurney, Brabham... etc, etc, etc... all household names due simply to their ability to go fast. When was the last time 400,000 people went to see a car show? The '99 Indy 500 had over 400,000 people in attendance. Name one movie about good looking cars. Driven, Formula 1, Days of Thunder, and even FATF1/2 (even when it comes down to it in those movies, it's all about being faster not better looking) are all movies about driving fast. My point: Even though I can only speak for myself when I say "go >> show", there's overwhelming evidence that "go" brings more money, fame, popularity, and has a larger pop culture influence than "show" ever did. In short, if you did bother to ask... most people would say, "go >> show" too.

Thanks to everyone else for the props. It's been a blast building this car up (I did all of the work myself). Hopefully us lazy Sac folks can make it up to one of your meets to return the favor. See: NON-RICE: ![]() ![]() |

Hahaha!
Ya, another subie board to check. At least you guys seem to be pretty active. I've got to pull teeth to get the Sac folks to do anything. I'm trying to put together a Wentworth Springs drive and I've only gotten a few respsonses, despite the fact that I gave them 6 different choices for a date. |

Hell I'm a Mustang driver and even I think that car is non-rice (on-track photo gives it +10 bonus points). Special props for the license plate too, that rules.

ya, good license plate. Welcome to the board!
I looked at Scott's rundown of your upgrades, and saw fuel rails - help me understand?: what is the benefit of upgraded fuel rails? I recently found a nasioc topic talking about spraying the intercooler between runs (autox), and someone suggested also spraying the fuel rails and some other part. So, my awareness needs to be fed. Thx. |

When you run high boost (upgraded turbo) you need more fuel that the stock fuel delivery system can provide. Usually just upgraded injectors are enought, but due to the stock fuel rails design, cylinder #3 tends to be a little lower on pressure than the other 4, meaning it can run lean under high demand and detonate. The solution is to upgrade the fuel rails to a setup that can flow more fuel and provide more even fuel pressure to the injectors.
