[96SEChick]

Hey guys and girls! Northeastern Oklahoma SCCA is holding an auto-x in Stroud, OK at the former Tanger Outlet Mall on July 28 & 29. 30 acres of road course set up just perfect for your 240SX (stock and modified)! Cost is $18 for 4 runs (1 heat), and $33 for 8 runs (2 heats). IT'S A FREAKIN BLAST!!!!
Visit this website for more info. http://www.neokla-scca.org/SoloII/Schedule/default.shtml

Are you guys still up for a get together a couple days before the meet?

Unfortunately I won't be able to because of work. <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('> I'm not sure about the guys in OKC, though. &nbsp;I'll e-mail them and see what's up.

[Milk]

Well as of right now my car is down =( &nbsp; ...the left rear calpier is sticking/not functioning ...and my rear calipers are past the min. thickness ....so showing up to a 240 meet in a Civic probably won't be a good idea. =(

Why do roadtrips always go wrong the couple days before =(

[96SEChick]

Would you be interested in going to the Auto-x, even if you didn't have your 240SX? &nbsp;If you can go, everybody would understand why you didn't have your car with you--these things happen to all of us. &nbsp;I'm not positive, but the last I heard, the Denver meet was cancelled due to the lack of interest (like 4 people said that they would definitely go). &nbsp;If you could make it, it would be great for you to make it to Stroud--at least we'd get to meet you. &nbsp;I don't even know how many (or how few) are going--a few said &quot;most definitely&quot; and some have said &quot;maybe.&quot; &nbsp;You don't have to race--I just watched the last time I went and it was still a blast.

I really want to go!!!! But I can't ughhhhhh
I hate school !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[andwys]

I 'll be there Aug. 25 though!!!

[96SEChick]

Awesome! I'm hoping it will start to cool down by then, but I doubt it. This weekend's going to be #### with the heat! Good luck with school Andrew!

Did you have any difficulty installing the Injen? &nbsp;Did you get the cold air extension (CAE)? &nbsp;What was the hardest part?

Yea I bought the injen intake couple of weeks ago (should have waited for the group buy but didn't know of it at the time). &nbsp;The hardest part was reading the instructions they were very vague. &nbsp; Oh and the hoses came to long, so I cut them; I guess that is a good thing. &nbsp;Rather have them to long then to short. &nbsp;I didn't get the CAE. &nbsp;I have a couple of questions about it though maybe you could answer them. &nbsp;I know it cools the air, but what else? &nbsp;Is it worth the extra $100?

[96SEChick]

From what I've heard about the CAE, it seems like it would be worth it. &nbsp;Even in hot weather (and crap it's hot in OK right now!:shocked:), the intake is able to get better air flow (if you take the driver's side skid plate and resonator box out). &nbsp;I've heard there is a more noticable difference in cooler weather. &nbsp;The only disadvantage, is that there's a chance of soaking your air filter with water in the rain, so some people remove the CAE when it's raining. &nbsp;I'm not sure of the actual hp gains with the CAE, though. &nbsp;As soon as I get my new job (which will hopefully be in 2 weeks) I'll be able to afford it--hopefully!

[Milk]

Well, for the 2days/3nights I was in Oklahoma I spent most of it sitting on a porch swing watching weeds grow in empty wheat fields, and visiting. &nbsp;By the time we ever decided to do anything it was almost dark. &nbsp;I don't know how you stand to live out there in that humid heat. &nbsp;The land is beautiful and there's a lot of empty highways to go racing around on but you have real weather! =)

...maybe next time

Here are a few pics taken from the Sunday, July 29 SCCA event in Stroud. (I guess you can call this proof that I actually ran my car <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>)

Hope some of you guys can make it to the next one on August 25 &amp; 26. The 26th (Sunday) will be the bigger event--that's when I'll have my car down there--the 25th (Saturday) is more of a fun day (my bf and I took a rental car down on Saturday--it was a blast!)--and that's when most people take their cars.

Around the cones! Not over them! =P

--Milk

[96SEChick]

Actually, those cones laying down were directional cones, letting you know which way you needed to go around the cone--if you didn't go the way you're directed, you got a DNF (did not finish). &nbsp;I wish that I had pictures taken of me plowing over 3 cones during a donut--looked like falling dominoes! &nbsp;hehe :o:

[andwys]

nice pictures looks like you had a lot of fun, but just admit you ran over the cones.

[96SEChick]

I didn't run over any cones my first 3 laps--I was doing really good. &nbsp;But, the last lap, my rear end got loose, and I hit the gas and did a really nice donut--making 3 cones fly. &nbsp;I have it on video tape, but haven't gotten it to my computer yet.

Andrew, I really hope you can make it on August 25 or 26--it is a lot of fun. &nbsp;I will have a strut tower brace installed the front and hopefully have suspension parts on order by then (even tho I don't know what I'm gonna get yet).

[andwys]

Yea, sounds like fun I'll C-ya there

[96SEChick]

That will be great! &nbsp;I will definitely be there both days, but will probably only have my car there on Sunday, Aug 26. &nbsp;I may have it there on Saturday, not positive, tho. &nbsp;And, my car will probably still be a bit banged up then--don't have the money for deductible right now. &nbsp;Oh, well!
