Too much for the street.. Plus thats another $2-3K easy from 750.... I would run a 1K cc at california speedway tho. When I took my 01 GSXR 750 there it does not seem to be enough power.... I guess depends on which track.

u do body work and paint? hhhmmmm.... Not sure if you've seen deni's post about this guy. Looks like a good job.. He was charging $350 or something... If you are up to it i'd rather pay you double to do a good job on it.... However, one guy that works underneath our building painted his car himself. He did the prep etc and rented a booth. He said the rent was like $300 and they'll lend you everything you need (tools, spray gun, etc....)

fyi i finally just saw the work of the painter guy on my friends car. it's not as great as you would think. up close. looks almost bubbly... either due to bad work or the time (since it rained) or because its not waxed or clayed....
i went to palomar mountain. got a FYI from a cop for "racing" which i was not even part of because i drove back (my friend got pulled over earlier because of a flat) i went looking for him. and the cop was like you guys were racing and writes me up. i was in a parking lot for 30 min --" total bs. well least it just a FYI.... fun coarse though lol mmm the all you can eat bbq place is actually in westminister. asking my cousin where/name of the place |

How could it go on your record if you did not get a ticket? Yeah total BS but if you didn't get anything then I wouldn't worry about it unless you get something in the mail.

i asked the officer what he was writing i was like "uh excuse me officer may i ask you a question?" he was like sure i said " what are you writing" and he went "this is like an FYI, if we catch you racing again (i'm not sure if he meant racing on palomar or over all) we will impound your car (he just messing with me right)."
oh i think the "no show = instant win" only for speeding tickets. the cop has no proof of me anyway of racing. my car not even on his camera. he thought my car was a celica o.0 |

You can win even if the cop shows up. Its a matter of how you present your case. I fought a ticket before. Cop says I ran a red light. Took pictures weeks later and presented my case and I won
