He doesn't have tech.

hey Tevi - I don't really have any plans at all on Saturday. We could go down to rock falls...head out at like 9am? Just an idea. Def would be fun to actually line 'em up. Would be a first for me w/ the 6MT too.

Other then that Sunday I'll be at the Vikes game.

From what I read some guy took everything apart from his steering column only to find out the hard way that he couldn't install it because there was no "connector" to plug in the the wires for the paddle shifters. Not sure exactly if it can't be done but it may require more work than normal.

EDIT: Just read that some 07-08 base models had the connectors and some other people claim their cars were missing the connectors so honestly I'd say the best bet is to try to take off your steering column and take a look to see if the connectors are there.

Hey guys, I'm looking to get a Mt.Fuji trunk emblem for my gialla grill. Does anyone know if the FX or QX rear emblems are different size than the g35?

The rear emblems are a little bit larger, its all up to your preference really of what you'd like on the front of your car. Either will actually fit if you're just mounting it to a mesh/screen to fill the gialla grille?

If you guys do go to Rock Falls, I'd get there early. Its going to be a busy day since its gonna be great racing weather and the last Sport Compact day was almost 3 months ago. Time trials start at 8:30am, I'd get there by at least 8am or maybe 7:30am.

Should be a lot of nice cars to watch. I know of a couple of very fast Mitsus going.

later,
Curt

Hmmm, I don't think I'm up for racing at Rock Falls. It gets so super busy and I'm not patient enough to wait 2 hours between runs. I would maybe consider spectating if there were some other Gs racing.

So if you guys decide to go, post up and I might go. Unfortunately that's about the best answer I got right now.
