Hey, Alex - if DuMa doesn't end up buying those springs, I will. $75 is fcking awesome. When I start working I plan to buy the Hotchkis TVS kit anyway, taht would save some money...

That isn't nearly as bad as some other grills on the market

 

List updated... 11 so far not to bad

Keith looks like his going to take them, but I will let you know if he doesnt.

 

2 more weeks.

 

This one just seem so much longer than the last one.

 

We got 3 more cars then last time.

BTW dropped the car at Forged today!

 

How long will they have it?

 

In an effort to make this run organized and smooth, I came up with a route and some guidelines. Everyone express your approval or any suggested changes.

We should stop at the gas station (Chevron?) just after turning off of 400 to fill up and regroup.

We could take 19/ 129 to 180 and do the Russell Scenic HWY route and then come back 180 to 60. This is a really fun route that takes about 1 and a half hours. For detailed instructions and a map, shoot me a PM. Otherwise, I'll just share the route with everyone at the meeting place and go from there!

Guidelines:
1. An experienced driver familiar with the roads should lead and bring up the rear
2. The lead car is not responsible for setting the pace of the drive. You are under no obligation to maintain that speed.
3. Drive within your limits and your car's limits
4. Do not draw negative attention - stay in control in the turns, maintain a reasonable speed on the long straights, be courtesy to slower traffic, and NO illegal passing. Keep in mind there will be scenic overlooks that are great for regrouping, taking pictures, and allowing slower traffic to get ahead.
5. Avoid running bicyclists off the road
6. Be conscious of sport bikes and other cars behind/ passing you in the two lanes sections

Here is a map outlining the route:
I've removed the map, but you can contact me via PM if you'd like to have a copy for the run.

How does that sound?

 

That's exciting Alex, let me know when you pick it up, I'd like to check it out.
BTW, what wheels and tires did you get?

 

So I assume all the body work is done now. When do you pick it up, maybe I could swing by on my way home and check it out.

 

Alex thats awesome, I would also like to check it out when you get it back. I guess thats why you didn't call me today. Man I feel left out, I am tempted to go turbo also.

 

It should be done thursday or friday! I wont be able to sleep until its done haha

I got ADR rims and kdws 245 front and 275 rear. Most of the body work is done Chris I just need a new back bumper but that can wait a little bit its just a scratched up.

I will let you all know when its done and that you all for a ride.

 

It is as exciting as losing ur virginity?

 

haha Yes it is! I will let you know as soon as I get it back

 

Bump for those who haven't seen the thread.

Here is the route I think we should take:

 

Thanks man that looks good to me! Only a week and a half cant come soon enough haha. Hopefully ill have my car back for a couple of days before we go up there.

 

Good job man, how long will it takes to complete the drive?

 

It takes about 1.5 hrs for the loop IIRC. Then if anyone wants to drive more, we go back to turner's corner, make that left, then left on Wolf Pen Gap/180 to 60.

 

Bump for a good time. I may have an RX-8 with me.

 

I don't think an RX-8 will fit in your passenger seat
Speaking of which, my neighbor had a friend over with an RX-8 who hauled *** out of the neighborhood. I wanted to ask my neighbor if his friend wanted to drive fast, why would he buy an RX-8, but I never got a chance, so I guess I'll share it hear

 

Nice
