Spotted another asphalt (pretty sure) this morning before 8AM going west on the santan 202 coming from the i-10 east. Didn't look like anyone I recognized (definitely not yruyur or sleeper).

I just don't want to be that d-bag who doesn't tip but at the same time its a lot of money any way.

Also I was quoted $799 shipped for the Injen SRI and also the Invidia N1 T1 Catback exhaust which I can't find cheaper anywhere else. BUT I really wanted to support my local shop (aka Vivid Racing) but I have yet to hear back from them and from what they have on their website its WAY more than what I was quoted. So can any of you (Supermassive) who support and rep Vivid hook a brother up?
Nothing wrong with supporting vivid but the smaller shops in town will normally sell it cheaper to compete with them. And every time I talk to vivid I have to call back a few times to get them to pay attention to me, long enough to get my parts.

Totally agree, the only thing is the shop that sent me the cheaper quote is across the country...

I use concept z they are normally cheaper and if you pay cash they normally cover your sales tax. The cheap price does normally mean a week or two in shipping time to their shop gotta make up for those discounts somewhere.

I will be heading to Vivid as long as the price is right. I don't mind paying a little more because I like supporting the shop as well as having that personal relationship but I'm also a realist. I don't want to dump the wallet either.

I have never been to Vivid tho, So I'm down for a tour Smoke.

I did check the registration rates, though, and want to confirm that you can race for less than $50

Looking forward to meeting you guys soon.
I'm in the same boat. Can't decide whether to register or not because i have no idea what i'd be doing :x

Just do it, you won't regret it! There will be a pretty big group of fellow FRS/BRZ drivers there to help you out. Don't be chicken :P

It's really not hard to get signed up and figure it all out. I avoided going for a little bit for the same reasons but everyone there was quick to help me and show me what I had to do.

I figure everyone will be very busy doing their own thing to have time to guide a completely clueless newcomer, however their good intentions. Is that not the case?

On a separate note, is anyone going to the Pavillions this Saturday? It'd also be nice to meet some of you guys there.
