Default Looking for 2GS to attend our NorCal meet

We have our Nor Cal End of Summer meet on Sept 18.
145+ cars signed up so far with about twelve 2GS signed up.

Any more NorCal 2GS out there?

Some of the 2GS repping so far.

This is completely off topic from my original post but ya. The superchargers cost about $7000 new. I have already researched all the machining costs to duplicate the kit and could not gather 5 people to COMMIT to having the parts made. No machine shop is going to give good pricing to make 1 or 2 kits for cheap.

Over the years many people have posted about how their buddy can make a bracket for a good price. All I can say is they have NO CLUE what is needed because they probably never had a complete kit in front of them to know what it takes.

A used kit that is complete IMO should go for 3-4K because you cannot get one unless you buy it from the 6-7 people that we can still trace ownership to. The only way any of them will sell for less is if the seller needs the money or they just don't need he money.

If anyone is interested in further discussion please start a new thread, and I will chime in there

Would love to trailer my GS400 out there and carve some roads with you folks. Unfortunately, it just is not feasible at the moment. Someday!
