I want to thank all for the welcoming, I cant wait til i get there. What kinda racing do ya guys have out there? Rally, Drag, Circuit? I've only done a bit of Drag before (Not with the WRX) but I wanna try some others. I will definitely check out SCCA to see whats up on there. One question has anyone experienced problems with their Turbo Oil Feed Line? the top half of mine had a crack and was leaking oil, then i changed it and now my bottom half is. I just ordered the bottom half which i will put in once i get to Hawaii and get some tools, but just wondering about any recurrence on other vehicles.

I've picked up a few sets of wheels, suspension, exhaust, down pipe, intercooler, injectors, lug nuts, computer, motor mounts, headers, a few complete cars, dvd player, i-pods, and even a BJ or two on the HIIC classifieds.

If I was working at schofield, I would live in mililani. Try to find a duplex with a garage or carport...that way you can wrench on you car at home.

^^You can do that.
You can also live in the kunia Area and take the back road to Schofield. it's a straight shot Backroad to Schofield
They also have Base housing, but of course you lose your BAH which is a pretty Penny out here in Hawaii along with COLA.
Best thing to do is get a house with a Carport so you can do your own work, but Schofield has a hobby shop there, you just have to find it.
They have tools you can use. They should have lifts too (if you need to put your car in the air)

Mililani is closer to Schofield than Kunia, but I just wanted to give you options. Ewa Beach is that bad, but its the furthest of all the places.

When you buy things from online stores, call them and ask them if they can ship it a different way. Some stores have UPS as their Default shipper, but they can ship things in a Flat-Rate USPS box. Every penny saved is awesome.
