lol yhea the thunderchicken is a ford

or is it????

TOYOTA MR2 Hood Emblem

i dont ever remember seeing that on any mr2. btw you missed a good party man

Looks fun, though you should see some of the video I got out in CA over the last few days. I'll be trying to get it sliced and uploaded this weekend once I fly back.

5 days get your cars ready. :)



riwwp I demand videos

my tires should be in tomorrow. gotta mount/balance them, get inspection and hopefully clean it

:icon_tup: awesome, I put new brakes on mine, will probably wash it Friday

The original video is 35 minutes long, but sped up it gives a pretty good taste of one of my favorite roads out there. You can see my steering input to account for how sharp many of the corners are, despite the camera's usual distortion. This road is always this empty, quite long, good surface, and quite fun. Vehicle is a rented CX-5



There was 1 road that was far windy-er, but the video is actually too dizzying to watch, so I didn't upload it.

It always is a good party at your place 200.

And I am glad to hear you finally got tires. Same rims? Did you go to a wider tire?

I got the wiring of the Metra Kit sorted out and wired in the new box last weekend so I can finally divert hot engine air away from my face. I reset the ECU so i am just letting it relearn idle which is a complete PITA. I prob need another 20-40 more miles and it should be good.

I saw Dave yesterday. He is excited.

What is the current list of attendees looking like?

same wheels and size. just checked and they were delivered today, a day early. glad you got the metra figured out

Current Roster:

Coming:
1. sonicsdaman
2. keck03
3. 200.mph
4. sonics friend in a FRS
5. "babydaddy" dave in a FRS the grown up version FRS the BRZ

Maybe:

1. RIWWP in a boosted miata
2. Vlaze is in the area
3. Herroguy
4. ripigs
5. Habs?

don't forget about brunch :lol:

It is looking like I will be there. I most likely can only afford 2 more track events this year, and I'd rather pass up on NJMP Lightning and make sure I can get to Watkin's Glen and Mid Ohio.

I will be getting tuned tomorrow.

nice pearl

Are we caravan-ing out there? Dave suggested maybe meeting off an exit of 22?

I need to get on here more often and maybe not miss events like this.

arggg.

This one hasn't happened yet, but i gather you are busy this weekend?

Not really all that busy but my car definitely isn't up to the task as it sits. I hit a deer about three months ago and finally got it back about a week ago although I'm still waiting on my front lip to arrive.

That isn't the problem though. It has a few issues and it's currently plagued by a p0562 and none of the documented fixes (at least the ones I can find online) fix it. I'm assuming it's the cause of my loopy start ups, random misfires, random lean spikes etc. since none of those occurred before.

Anyways, I don't want to treadjack. If you guys see a random dude in a Solara following with a camera it's probably me. haha

I was going to text you later this week about if you guys wanted to meet up :lol:

22? no 78 ......... :suspect:
I was thinking maybe around Fogelsville

meet up for the ride down sounds good. riwwp you wanna meet up early and catch up with sonic, keck and daddy dave?

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

has anyone looked at the weather for saturday?

Mine says 81F partly cloudy 10% chance rain :)

I'm contemplating pulling my turbo later on today, which includes removing my radiator and coolant lines, and if I'm that far, I might as well remove my intake piping and exhaust piping. All in trying to find the problem that is preventing me from holding boost. If I do start that today, I won't be attending this run. If I postpone to get to the drive, it will be as a heavy N/A Miata, with the wastegate wired open.

Of course, if any of you all want to come over to help, that works too.
