On the previous Friday there was a NorCal/San Jose region dinner which I and dsrxgoompa attended. I got to meet fellow members usa5655 who is making great progress after owning the car for only two weeks. I also met Ricky with a other black ucf30, and his friend (who's name I forgot, sorry) with a silver ucf30. It was my first time hanging out with other Ls430 owners, so I learned a lot just by chatting n stuff with them. I totally need to remember to take more pics at these types of things.

no updates on the car as of yet, I'm waiting for parts to come in. Yesterday, I went along with fellow teammates to Sacramento raceway for a drag race event. There was apparently some sort of car show going on, but nothing really caught my eye besides this ls400 that I'll show you a picture of. I wanted to share some pics I got from that event, not sure if anyone likes this type if stuff but I'll post anyway

I believe it was on coils, since it was still that height as it drove away

My buddy Edwin's k24 itb'd crx making 10.6 passes

Chris black notch which is lsx powered making 11.6 passes, and Dave's lsx powered rx7 making low 10 second passes.

Teddy's 1g dsm with a personal best of 9.45

Hien's 1g dsm with a personal best of 9.64, this beast is driven 100+ miles to the track, takes home trophies, and is driven back!

Today I dropped my car off at my friends body shop, 515 autobody (formerly known as frAnklin autobody).

There was this air'd out gs sitting on 19" work variants a schwerts

I'm told this white ls400 belongs to one of the StanceNation guys

This NSx belongs to my friend kris,of 515 autobody, this thing is going to be a beast.

The big box my kit came in and a NASA miata next to it

...and the last time my black boat will look like this

I didn't get the roof spoiler, I'm kind 50/50 on the roof spoiler thing. Its like if I have a roof spoiler, I feel like I would need to get window visors for it to flow. The thing is I don't really want window visors for this car.... Eehhh maybe I'll Change my mind when I feel like I need to do something to the car
