Default I am here!

everyone

I made my trip to here finally on yesterday.
not so lucky for the past few days.
moving company delay 1 day because of weather, then told me not able to do it.
driving my civic here with cooling problem, changed in some gas station shop.
They changed the thermostat. After 150miles of driving, still some problem.
Anyone can tell me a good shop?
After arrival at 8pm on the 24th, almost all the shops are close. no food except Jack ITB



couple things I notice:

people are driving faster than I expected, speed limit is 60mph but still I can see someone driving 80mph
I can still see some race out hondas.
gas station don't let me to pump my gas
I like it being cold here


I am going to live around NE portland

Welcome and congrats on moving to Oregon!

You should definitely make it out some drives/meets this year, I'd love to check your car out in person.

We'll be updating the sticky's soon but in the mean time, feel free to check out the S2KI OREGON CALENDAR and show off a little more about you and your car in the Oregon S2ki Forum Listing

There are a few good shops that a lot of us go to,
Forged Performance is in the east side of town and are very helpful.

Here's a link to our Resource List that has quite a few useful ratings.


Don't try to pump your own gas, they don't like it very much

my S will be coming to here sometime next week.
I will need to find a place to move in, then I will fly back and bring her here.

Welcome!! Yeah, in Oregon it's against the law to pump your own gas (P.S. you don't tip the gas pumpers)

I recommend Forged Performance, they're really nice people and very helpful

Hope to meet you soon!
