Oh really? Vernon Hills, that's crazy. Yeah, my fault, didn't check. Have you heard/stopped by Touge Factory in Northbrook? I think I'm going to get a motorset from then, I've only heard good things.

my buddy with a turbo max keeps telling to go down there for parts for my car, just haven't had time to go check it out, he also said they're cool as hell, they got some nice drift setups on their cars as well.

i know where orland park is, i got a buddy that lives in naperville so i've been around that area, there'a nice mcdonalds that's always got like 11 second cars there that just challenge you to races, kinda funny.

we should all hang out or something someday, two fowty represent, holla

yea i was reading about that in the "meet section" lol, i'll be there, about how many peeps you think are gonna be there? i'd be down for the two fourty's going together to HIN but i'm not taking my car, i have issues with it right now and it wouldn't be the best thing for me take it that far with other 240's. But if you guys wanna hang out sometime like just a couple of us, go bowling or just shoot the **** around, i mean ya know, i'm down.

Probably won't be able to make it out to the August meet because of work, but if there's one in September, I'll go for sure. Haha, don't go bowling too much, but this summer my friends and I go pretty much every Monday.

cool same age, with the same taste in cars, well, at least the same type of car, just not year...why yes, yes i did.

HIN report!-well to say the least, it was disappointing as usual for me, there was only 1 s13 fastback, and that was the signal auto s13.5 driven by chunki bhai or something like that. dissapointment for me but if your an s14 fan boy oh boy, there was at least 10 s14s, zenki and kouki. the best was when i was coming into the parking lot though, i was behind this red fastback that had the kouki lights and it was dropped and some other stuff but needless to say it was damn good looking at made me envious, i want kouki tails.arghhh!!! the rest of the show was the same ol same ol, civics and what not. Worst part was $25 per person to get in, and then you had to pay like 10 bucks for parking. oh well, that's my report of HIN 2004 in Chi-town. peace

See what you missed by not going to HIN: (not me and sorry its a little blurry, low light=slow exposure times)....You really didn't miss much. Granted this is the first time Ive been to that show so I don't really have a basis for comparison. Of course it helps that I didn't have to pay to get in since I was working there. The women there were definitely worth it, the Blonde above was smokin but really nice. I felt bad that some guys were really takin advantage of her, but that's another story. There was definitely a lot of rice around. I couldn't believe that a friend of a friend's teal Qualude was up there, rust spots and all. Being a S14 fan, I was able to talk to a few peopleand get some advice.

As for the Chicago meets, damn I wish they would have em on Saturday, I work Sunday and there is rarely anyone who can fill in for me. I'd be up for Bowling, name a place and a day, Id like to try to get my averages in the triple digits.

yea a D1 comp would be awesome, but they never do anything cool in chicago, i wonder why? hey doomed - since a few of us on this post are interested in hanging out and going bowling, was wondering if you could maybe put something together, a good day for all of us to go bowling and chill, have a little fun, i ask you cause ur the bowling man:ylsuper , just throw out a date that you think wold be good for you, anyday is good for me from the 1st of the month to the 14th, i have nothing to do on those days, so if anybody else has any preferences just holla.btw, going to the track on the 31st, i'll hit u with some details about that later, just wondering if anyone was interested.
