    New forum for South Orange County

    Hey guys, just wanted to point you to a more specialized forum for the happenings around our area. Just a small site created by a few diehard gearheads hoping to see who else is out there, in hopes of getting some decent events together. Thanks for the interest...

    Looking to start up a message board for local racing, where to start?

    It's pretty self explanatory. I want to start up a message board for the local car guys in my town to communicate through (like Need2Speed). Where's the best place to set up a message board at? Are there any free ones? Thanks for the help guys.

    Worst race ever. New Beetle -vs- Civic Si.

    THE CONTENDERS: Now that you've been familiarized with the clown boats racing this river of ridiculosity, let's get on with the story. I don't drive the firebird at night when I'm not planning to race. The exhaust is louder than Fran Drescher and the less time it's on the road, the...

    Tell me about opening my own speed shop

    Howdy gang. I'm a sophomore in college and I've changed my major more than my underwear. After thinking on the general dissatisfaction people have with speed shops today, I'm considering opening my own after school. It would be based on good customer service and the "race on sunday, sell on...

    LT1 -vs- Integra

    I'm not one to conserve gas. I'd go WOT on Stephen Hawking if he looked at me funny. If you smirk at me you get an earful of magnaflow and a faceful of rubber, and it's amplified exponentially if you drive anything with a muffler that I could fit my head into. Thus begins our story. It...

    99 Cobra won't start---clicking noise.

    Sold the Cobra last night, the buyer and I come back to the house and it just won't start. Once you disable the anti theft it just makes a horrendous clicking noise. It then got to a point where the battery was showing no current at all (not even the odometer) so we hooked a jumper box up to it...

    Anyone in Lake Forest/Laguna Hills area of Orange County want to cruise tonight?

    Alright guys, anybody want to set up a friday night cruise? We could meet at some sort of food establishment and then head up the coast highway, it's an ok sight on Friday nights. Any takers?

    Turbo 99's, come on in!

    Well, I thought I could restrain myself. Ha, what a laugh. My buddy's in the process of turboing his LT1, so I just can't stand it in here. I want to hear from owners of all different kits on what you think of it. I'm looking at the intercooled PTK kit, but HP Performance and all others are...

    Cool! I think I just experienced my first catastrophic engine failure. THANKS SVT.

    This is just great. First day of actually being able to drive the car. 700 dollars worth of chip/tune/plugs/coil packs/B.S. later it's running right and what does it do? Grenade. I promised this girl a ride the day I got the car, and now that it's finally going she got her wish. She asked...

    I Got One!!!

    I still can't believe my eyes every time I peek through the blinds and see the snake parked outside of my house. I just picked up a black on black 99 Cobra Coupe from another member here (DynamiteSVT, very stand up guy) and I'm completely stoked. Needs a chip and a tune, but this thing is...

    Celica gets stalked and taken out, but not by me

    Thursday night always seems to be a great cruising night for me. Last time it was a great race with a 4G63 Dodge Colt, this time it was just a classic moment that I will not forget for a long time. Preface: My town is ricerville, ricer central. There is one particular king of the ricers...

    Getting cold feet! Convince me to get 99 Cobra over LS1

    Alright gents, here's the deal. I'm literally days away from pulling the trigger on a 99 Cobra, but lately I've been getting the LS1 bug. Before this I was dead set on an SS that got sold before I could get the funds together. When you're driving an LS1 it just feels like you have such a huge...

    Question for those with Cobra R Hood

    There are two major brands that I know of that manufacture the exact look that I want, the Cobra R hood with louvres on the top. FRPP, and Cervini's. I'm curious what the difference between the two brands is, and also if on either of them you can see down into the engine bay from behind the...

    Appearance Mods for 99 Cobra

    Well guys, I'm going to look at a 99 Cobra today and if all goes well I will be out of the bowtie and into the blue oval soon :rockon: I've already started planning what I'm going to do to it, of course. I'm thinking the Cobra R hood (like on AvengingAngel's car) and the Saleen 3 Piece wing...
