Helmet needs to be Snell/DOT aprroved. The Porsche Club events I believe require that the helmet be Snell 2005 or newer. So, no a $15 helmet won't cut it. They generally have some loaner helmets that you can borrow if you cannot provide your own.

As mentioned to Scott, it may be worth working collaboratively with another club for an event. The only other club besides SCCA and Buckeye Miata that has their own equipment is PCA. PCA generally has a low turnout and WANTS more people. Most of the people that run PCA have a ton of experience in autox and even track days. They are more than willing to take on a group of new people, they are more relaxed than SCCA, but are strict if you aren't taking safety seriously. I will run this by some of the guys this week and get back with who I need to get back with.

I wonder what that suspension even looks like to make them do that?

Great autoX platform. Plenty of people on here willing to help you with your autocrossing if you are new to it.

Nice mods, clean look. Welcome!

nice pics

I backed off from this as well and limit my extra work to a limited group. It made a huge difference in my stress from day to day. I totally don't blame you.

Thanks for having us Doc, Erica and I really enjoyed ourselves! Nice to see everyone as usual.

On a second note, it would not suprise me if you hooked up a techII and went into the BCM (body control module) that you have a bunch of codes for low voltage to various circuits.

The light may have set due to low battery voltage when she turned the key over to start it and the battery was dead. If you are not familiar with CEL's when the light is on it is a current code, since your light is off it is no longer a "current code" and is then retained in history. For the light to go off the computer has to re-check the parameter for the code and apparently it has passed thus shutting the light off. I would just drive it at this point and worry about it if the light comes back on. The description for the code reads something like "ignition circuit". Don't just search for a fix and dive into it when it may not be the correct fix.

Nice choices. Love the "totem pole" picture lol, that's great.

We will be up in some fashion.

MANNNN I'm down for something, we are running over to the shop to grab my car and will probably go out to eat if anyone wants.......call/text Erica or I.

I didn't log in, I live with the man and he left it on my computer and I didn't relize it until I posted...

Anyone up for anything tonight? (Bridezilla)

I argued this point with several people when making my education decisions long term. I am still happy with my choice. Just because you spent more time in school does NOT necessarily make you more qualified for a position when it comes to trades. I have an Associate degree BTW, I'm not a high school drop out or anything.

Interested here as well, but the MR2 is SLOWLY getting to the point that I feel it is safe for a track day. Just sorting and changing a lot of stuff around right now. More than likely it will see PCA autoX a lot next year as things get dialed in.

I don't know that you can get the ign. cylinder out of the column without a key. I believe that is where you verify the key code? Scott will have to clarify, specifically. The way GM usually does ign. cylinders is if the cylinder goes bad they re-key it to the key you have (OEM). So, if you provide a VIN they can make the key from scratch according to what the ign. cylinder is keyed. It costs what it does because of the chip in the key, plus they charge you to "look up" what the code is because I believe they are charged to access it. Again, you may want to PM Cordell for the best answer.

Clean, clean clean. Love the track car. Welcome!

Both sets of seat belts sold. Free bump!

Dinner with Erica's parents then Skating at Ice Haus for their 9pm-12/12:15am open skate. May swing by a house party for a tick on the way down to Ice Haus.

Well NASA won't have to get involved to figure GM's issue out. Annnnnnd this.

Sounds like someone desperate for attention based on that vid. Sad really.....
