Hey Guys/Gals,

Ok so I'm originally from so cal, but now I moved up to nor cal to go to ucsc. I was wondering if there are any good garages around santa cruz and also if there are any good roads to run touge on.

Thanks

So I hear....I think ppl flame because racing is suppose to be so underground. Especially touge, but I mean come on with the anime inital d and d1. Drifting and mountain racing is like huge and most ppl know about it.

Where I'm from in so cal, everyone that races knows everyone; its like one big family. Even the cops know about our race spots and they let us race unless ppl complain.

Im not to familiar with the area, but high way 9 sounds cool. Hows the road condition? Santa Cruz road conditions are horrific, I've never driven on roads so bad. What time do you guys go up?
Thanks for the invite too...I'll come up for sure when I settle in

socal koo. i used to "touge" on stunt road. one of my favorite roads to touge on, i used to hang with the clubrsx.com crew in socal. here in marin county there are some reallynice touge spots. it just sucks for u cause its little north of san fran.

Dunno stunt...lol...Im just starting out. But I use to live in glendora, so I was at gmr every so often and I've been to wilson a few times. But the car has recently been finished. So I haven't ran gmr more than once. And as of right now the car has a problem with wiggling in the tires. Thats why I'm looking for a garage I can get to help me out. You know any xam? When I get these coilovers fixed I'll come by marin county. BTW how far is that from santa cruz? 1 hour is worth the drive.

hwy 9 is my favorite rd to ride, but it been a lot of cops lately, espically the weekends, the best time is durin the weekday mornings, u should try this route, go up hwy 9 from sarotoga, then to skyline blvd aka hwy 35 to hwy 84 to hwy 1 then back down hwy 9

Santa Cruz is in the middle of the forest, all the roads there are rough and tough.

Best highway to test your suspension though is highway 17. Becareful though, know the limits of your car. A lot of people don't and cause accidents there. What college you staying at? I got two more classes left over. Oh yeah, there no tuner shops in Santa Cruz and they all overcharge. Best tuner shop i've been too is Tech Three in San Jose.

sounds good. i'm on campus M W F when school starts. It'll probably be easy to spot me. I'm the only fixed up 7th gen on campus. I think i'm also the only one with limo tint. If you have tint on your car, drive with your windows down. Santa Cruz cops are by far the most **** of all cops i've ever been pulled over by. Most of the people in santa cruz are very liberal or left wing but the cops, especially the chp there are kinda racist in my opinion. They will pull you over for anything, that why all the speed limit signs in santa cruz are 25mph.

hey boogie, i think i saw your car at the east remote today. There not many if any modded 7th gen civics at UCSC. I saw a silver 01-03 with altezza tails and projector headlights. Wasn't sure if it was you or not, but i left a note.

PM, maybe we can meet up or something on one of the days i'm at UCSC.

Thanks for all the info guy, as for the photoshot I'll try to make it if i have time.

As for my car being in the east remote, sry mang not my car. My car is in the boardwalk parking lot. Not the one right by the boardwalk but the one by the tires place. Shes an 05 magnessium color, lower, oem headlights with retrofited projectors. She looks completely stock otherwise.
