Default Hi from central california

Hey,
My name is Taylor, I've been bumming around the forum for a while figured i'd finally register and contribute something. I have a red '94, it has the basic track mods...brake lines, stage 2 act, 8.5lb flywheel, wheels tires, and a roll bar. I enjoy it but feel like I could use some boost. I am a full time mechanic at a local auto shop, I work mostly on German cars, and have recently come into possession of a K04 out of an Audi tt HO. I know a fair amount about the modern vehicle and would like to try my hand at tuning. Thanks in advance for all the help.

Cool. I'm in Monterey and Qckslvr is in Salinas. I worked the Miatas @ MRLS, but I won't be here past December so I won't be at the next one. You'll want to be there though, next year is going to be even better.

More than you'd expect from a small town.

Always, my Miataturbo.net North American tour continues. Met some of the north Florida and Atlanta members, got to shoot the breeze with the Cali crew for a bit, and now I'm off to Texas for a few months and then on to North Carolina. I wonder how far Fayetteville is from the "Tail of the Dragon"?.. hmm.
