Well I will throw myself in here... as I am in the middle (SEA - PDX)... but I get to Portland to see customers on fairly often... but also go north to Seattle...

Hope you can keep yours off the road this week... as much as I prefer driving my Supra, I have been using the cavalier or the suburban this week... I do not want the Supra to see any of this new crap they are running on the roads, will eat away at it pronto...

Oak Grove/Milwaukie and SE PDX is where you'll see me and Fat 'ol Supra. The occasional runs up and down I5 to visit relatives in WA. There is usually a meet in May in Centralia, I recall... I plan on going this year.
I was planning on a track day at PIR with a few other Supra's, but the 7M isn't race ready at the moment.:: angry :: Van

I'm having my Supra (Race Ready 7M), tuned at VIP Performance. They are trying to tune my set-up, a AFC NEO and the TCCS, and are really close, but tearing their hair out. I was at another shop, and they just weren't interested in what I wanted to do. At VIP, they are willing to help you, and have a discussion around what is possible and why your plans may or may not work. They also do routine maintenance. Van

well.. if you can take a drive, take a drive out to PSI and talk to john reed while hes still in town till he takes off again (i was talking to him last night) he might be a little more money, or he just might be able to give you pointers on what your looking for. personally, since we do have the tuning god john reed in our backyard, it is kinda nice.
