The $10 is only if you're going to auto-x (or drift), otherwise you stay out of the fenced in area but still hang out at hotel and bar and such.

Yeah I'm not going to Auto-X, but I'll definitely hang out. Shoot - I can't come in the fenced area unless I pay $10? :(

yup :( last year i ended up not doing auto-x and the year before only 1.5 times, so it's just not worth the $ for me to get into the fenced in area and the NICO tent is just outside that anyway

Ah, if it's outside, that's still cool. As long as I can get some pics of the auto-x, I''ll be happy. I took some from atop at the lookout, but I can't remember what I did with those pictures :confused:

This year i will definitely get some :yesnod

After such a long drive you will stop short of $10 bucks?

I pay $50 for SCCA autocross and get like 6-8 runs in...

Welcome to the club James! I was at carlisle that year you were there too in my AC!

Haha $10 won't stop me per se, however, I don't want to do any Auto-X in my car. Since I drive so far for work, I gotta be good. Now If I bring my 240 up, that may be different O:-).

I might just save my money for hyperfest at Summit Point..

I couldn't make 2010. My father(RIP-10.20.2010[60]) was terminally sick and I couldn't make it. This year I hope to make it though!

Considering doing some suspension work, maybe start with racinglines strut tower brace, best bang for buck only like $120 then maybe sway bar later. I don't know I like things tight

Just got done debadging the car. I came home from walmart with what I thought was everything I needed... I didn't have wax to go over the lid of the trunk. I only used a little bit of WD-40 where the burger was on the back and I washed down the trunk after I was done with plenty of Soap/Water. I'll hit it with a coat of wax in the morning to be safe. As long as it's not too bad.... I think we're suppose to get a wintery mix tonight :(. IT better not screw up the roads too bad since there is a very important tinting appointment at 12 noon!

Andddd, my camera died. Battery is charging and in the morning I'll get a picture to post up. It looks fresh and clean without the badging on it.

Anticipation!! :D :D :D :D

+1. As you can see from my sig, I chose to leave it on... I've seen others do it your way, but it just looks naked to me. The burger grounds it.

With all that said, though, more power to you! You know what you want your car to be, and don't let any of us tell you otherwise.

But really... drop that sucker!

I like the clean look. Once I put the spoiler on there, I believe that'll set the rear up real nice. I'm kinda against dropping my car... Reason being where I live seldomly gets plowed and it's not really the best area for a dropped car. If I do anything it will be a slight drop. :(

eibachs or the tein s.techs would be perfect for that. if you want to be able to raise and slam your car according to the season then coilovers would be the way to go. the s.techs drop lower than the eibachs though.

I have my car dropped, and I do a lot of driving in some pretty lousy areas for plowing. The only place I've run into trouble is on a few streets of Manhattan. Other than that, I haven't had any problems. In the last few weeks, though, it's been fun to hear snow sliding under my feet on Long Island.

Eh, it's no biggie. If the snow didn't crumble and give way when I stepped on it, I might be worried. But it's snow. And my car's underside is not. So my car's underside wins. :D

Got my wing put on. I gotta get some better pictures to put up here.

Question... how bad is the header to replace on these? I was looking at the stillen header. I know with the QR25's in older Sentra's had issues with pre-cat detonation. Any stories like that in Altima's?
