So nobody from the SB or OC going to the Grand Am race at Laguna Seca the 8-9? I guess Celeste and I will have to represent SoCal on our own. I will be sending updates during the weekend.

Have a great run guys and one of these days we will join you.

Doug: wish I could go up to Laguna Seca that weekend, I'd been looking forward to it but doesn't look like I can make it so this was the 2nd best option.
Make sure you take logs of pics and know I"ll be jealous of you as you watch those cars go zoom zoom around the track!

Yeah I want to go to Leguna Seca too, soo bad but i have a couple vacation this nextr month one which is nto with my wife so i dont think i can make it.


On a side note who want tot go to a Top Gear Taping!?
Featuring super-cars, extreme stunts and challenges, car reviews and celebrity interviews, Top Gear is the home for anyone with a love of cars. Hosted by comedian and car buff Adam Ferrara, champion rally and drift racer Tanner Foust, and racing analyst Rutledge Wood, the show is about to begin taping its second season and tickets are now available to see it in person.

Top Gear is taping for FIVE DAYS ONLY; July 12th, 13th, 14th, 16th, and 17th. Due to the popularity of the show tickets are limited, so if you can't make it to one of these five dates, you'll have to wait until 2012 for another chance. The show tapes in Irvine, California and the minimum age to attend is 18. The show is standing room only (no seats) and lasts approximately 4-5 hours (from the time you arrive).

To see the show schedule and to print free tickets, please CLICK HERE or use the following link:http://on-camera-audiences.com/shows/Top_Gear


I cant make any of the days since I will be in San Diego or in the Sierras Backpacking to Whitney.

Loren: how old are your coils?
still running the stock Cat?

we should look at both of those. Does the car feel sluggish? If so, is it usually around the same rpm range? If so, what range?

If it's the fuel pump, I'd go with the OEM. The BHR one was nice but some people are having issues with it and CRH and MM are in the process of releasing a completely different pump which should be better but it's unknown as to when that will be out.

Colis plugs and wires were replaced last summer. stock cat. sluggish only after it has gotten really hot. most of the rpm band but more so lower down.

sluggish when hot is typically signs of a cat issue or low compression.
no trouble starting the car after it's hot?

does it ever feel like it's stalling out or just sluggish?

I'm leaning towards cat or you cooked a ignition coil already. It's starting to warm up and this is typically when these issues arise.
if it were the fuel pump, the problem would have been ongoing?
