Title: New Member to Socal...need some help
Post by: GoCanes1 on April 23, 2007, 04:22:12 PM

I just relocated to SoCal from Texas and am excited about getting together for some events. My family and I just moved to Irvine and now I need some help. It appears that the laws for emmissions as you all know are SIGNIFICANTLY stronger than in Texas. I have a 97 GTS with a Roe Supercharger and it is going to be hell for me to pass (no cats). I know that this is a wierd thing to ask with my first post but I am kinda stuck here. Anyone have any recomendations on where to go?

Thanks,
Mike

Hey Mike,

Welcome to so Cal. You'll love the weather. You may find some of our laws a bit tougher to swallow.

If you don't have plans for Sunday morning, come on out to our brunch at Dukes. You'll get to talk to a few local Viper guys who have likely had the same issue. Click on the "Next Event" and follow the links.

You may also want to contat Todd at A & C Performance, one of our vendors - check the vendor section for contact info. Todd just sold a GTS with a Roe blower. He may know how to best handle this.

Thanks for the info. Iwould love to make it out to the Duke's run, but we have a 3 and 4 year old and getting our nanny on a Sunday morning is tough. The next time there is a Saturday event though we should be able to make it. I will contact both people and see what happens. The weather is great out here, I actually went to high school out here. Just wish it wasn't so damn expensive, but then again Houston was inexpensive but a terrible place to live. Look forward to meeting everyone and seeing the cars.

Mike

Hey Mike,

FYI, there is a regular Saturday morning impromptu car show at the Ford Performance Automotive Group, known as the "PAG". It starts at 7:00 AM every Saturday morning and runs until about 9:00 AM. Some of us will likely make it this Saturday, April 28. If you're free, come on down.

The PAG is just south of the 5 Fwy near Alton in Irvine. Go south on Alton and turn right on Gateway. Follow the cars.

We'll be in the black SRT-10.

Thanks, I will have to try and make that. The PAG is only about 2 miles from my house.
