It's about time I introduced myself...
Alright, I've been lurking this forum long enough. I've posted here and there and I bet most of you have been wondering why some guy in Washington bothers to post in the Hawaii forum. Well, I am originally from Hawaii. Grad from MPI in 95 then grad from UW 00 and 02. I've 'always' been a Honda guy and had my fair share of SiR, GS-R, and ITR swapped cars. I always wanted a WRX but it wasn't until the STi became available did I give in. I haven't paid attention to this forum until I got my STi and it is good to know that there is a strong following in the islands much like here in the Pacific NW. The reason why I decided to post is because I will be returning within a year.
I've been watching the auto-x posts and one of the first things I plan to do when I get back is race my STi with you guys. The auto-x's I go to usually have 1, sometimes 2 STi's including myself. I would also like to go to lapping events. Does anyone have any info on them? I was told that there is one once or twice a month at HRP.
I figured that I might as well give you something to watch since I bored you with my introduction. Here is a link to a lap around Pacific Raceways in Kent, WA. That was the first time with the STi there and it was a blast.

And here is a pic of my STi

Is it any better since they did some work on it or was the work only on the bathrooms and snack bar and things like that. I used to live in Tacoma and plan to go back someday and buy a house beautiful place to live...

yeah, their names sound familiar. Gerard Ebata? I know his sister, Lisa. She dated my friend for a while. I remember a long time ago her ex-boyfriend kidnapped her or something at knife point. I think he went to jail.
Ebata Case (Whoa!)

Seattle is cool. Nice weather for two months out of the year. I lived there for 4 years in Sea-tac and Burien/Renton area (kind of ghetto). I had to move back to the islands, too much rain.

I hate the sun and the beach. I love dark, rain, cool... Am I a displaced PNW'er or what?
