As for the Hawaii Super Ferry staff A++++ not only did they recognize that my car was low and pulled me to the side to await parking on the lower level, they even watch as I went over every incline and decline to make sure I didn't scrap. Oh and it wasn't just me they helped out every low car.

I personally would not pay the extra for first class not worth if you have kids. coach was good enough for me not to mention we got to stretch a lot.

Car Info: STi (cornering, accelerating and braking hard).
The Oahu guys had it all yesterday. They got private track time at the drag strip in the morning and then that afternoon had the ultimate training drive up Mt. Haleakala.
I was the guide and let's just say I had the advantage knowing local "track" conditions. The mountain is my backyard. I led the group up and down.
Some of the speed freaks realized it was just as fun diving into corners both on the uphill, but especially on the nighttime drive down.
Watch out for those decreasing radius switchbacks...

This trip although disappointing at the track has opened my eyes on the weaknesses of my car performance and suspension wise. So best believe these issues will be fixed.
BIG MAHALOS TO ED! LMK when you are coming to Oahu and I will take you to my backyard

Hahaha well i guess you all wanna know. Well the night b4 we left to maui my car started misfiring big time. we also found out that my injector O-rings expanded causing a vaccuum leak. fixed that.(i had an extra set of O-ring's) car was still not running strong.
now i got it to the tracks and right b4 we line up to race i got a flashing CEL. I loaded 2 different maps and rest the ECU. still didn't fix the problem so i said **** it!! go fo broke! ran it anyways.
I also knew my clutch was bad. (surprised it didn't completely go out. I burned it to hell tho)
I ran better times with 1psi then i didn't now. it was time. my fastest time was 15.1. as i crossed the finish my car shut down! And i knew what it was. i was not pissed off cause i knew i was on borrowed time.
I barely got it back on the super ferry. they guys there were supper cool they let me drive the car up with a straight shot so it wouldn't die at idle. (i lost another cylinder at this time) now when i got it off the ferry the car barely drove but i drove it anyways as far as i could with the smell of gas burning in my exhuast and smoke everywhere. the car finally completely died a little after carls jr/76 on nimitz. we pushed it from the to my service department on mapunapuna and parked it there. i will be towing it back home today. and start to tear it down. I'll post pics of the tear down later.
Its Time for something new!! HEHEHEHEHEH
