Last time we got our homemade TSX Type S with a J32 engine swap running and it sounded sick. Breathing through two exhaust pipes straight out of the block, the J swap sounded like an old school hot rod. As cool as that was, we could not take it for a test drive because we had issues with the clutch. So we pulled the engine and transmission to try to diagnose the problem. While the engine was out we have two major developments that improve our TSX Type S build in a couple ways. Here's a few hints: race car, street car and J35.

So I like looking up where places are, so I can get a better idea of what's going on. I was interested in seeing your "1/8 mile track." Everything you post says California, but after much research, and nearly giving up not being able to find anything from the landmarks I looked up in California, I found you! I'm not going to give it away, but ya...
