goes to show your mods are actually working as claimed. but out of range for the environment we were in.

touchy car isn't it? its always too much or too little... hard to get just the right balance.

don't remember exact what my water was doing... but it was under 180 during the cruise, really predictable. just happy to see oil temps come down as that gave me a hint to top off some.

has ur coolant mods helped on giving u more predictable oil temps? cuz i always seem to trip when it reaches 220...trying for it not to start going over too fast.

 

true. not even at 180, its already there.

and u would know all too well about how gauges make u drive slow ...shhh, thanks for waiting.

but the temps on this run has been really good for the most part. didn't slow down my fun 'til we slowed to regroup.

 

I don't have real gauges; I feel with a stock engine and the cooling mods I do have I should be able to run decent temperatures. All I know is that at Buttonwillow at 100 degree heat my car was very happy. I can kind of get a feel for how hot the car is running by judging whether the fans come on or not as we know the fan on temps for the Mazsport module. On that day, the fans didn't even come on as I pulled into the pit lane after a cool down lap so at the very least the temperatures drop quickly. Regardless, I'm not incredibly keen on having to check more gauges while driving at speed and so have held off on installing gauges. Not to mention I would rather spend my money on other things for the car at the moment.

Doesn't anyone have pictures from the drive? C'mon people, post them up! I especially want to see the shots from Rim of the World.

 

which part of the run was rim of the world?

 

The city lights part.

 

Oh... LOL. Strange I didn't know that considering I've done that stretch a gazillion times =P. Well during the daytime...

So r u guys going to the auto show tomorrow?

 

I'm going on Friday.

 

Mark your calenders! Summer 2009 LateralG will be planning a multiple day trip that will probably take us into the Sierras. It's going to be great!

 

dang. i will be of the only clowns who has to work on Friday.. =(

working for a financial company, well- suxors...

 

I have enough to keep me occupied through the holiday.

 

my holiday consists of one day- thursday... LOL

god i miss New Line...

 

a few of us are going to the auto show today.

i think it's going to be me, ryan, gian, allen, ryan's kid, and maybe another friend of mine. you are all welcome to join up with us. just give one of us a call

 

10 dollars a ticket, but if you go to a 7-11 they have a 2 dollar discount peripheral of some sort.

 

The run was fun maybe next time i can bring my FIT along...

 

yeah i'd bring my s14 but i'm kinda afraid because my shocks are gone...

 

Ill go with y guys if it's after 5pm... Otherwise I'll be at work

 

For any of you interested in the evo x and its prowess: Evo X 322whp/350tq That's with 4 mods btw. Numbers wise, that dyno reads real low, add about 60-70 more hp for crank. Comparative wise, I made 300/300 on that with 4 better mods...

 

Bonus run!

If anyone is not burned out by last Saturday and is interested in another run this Sunday, this time during the day, shoot me a PM. I'm probably going to take advantage of the great weather we're going to get

 

ill go but i have to get bak by 2 pm.

 

what time would the run be?

 

Sadly for Ryan, probably around 3 in the afternoon. I'll negotiate with Adam.

Though I will say, considering how hasty I am doing this and how I just jumped at the opportunity, you know the road's good. For those that know me well, it's not hard to figure out which roads I'm planning to hit.

 

I can probably make it...

 

i could probly do half the course! how many miles is this drive?

 

After negotiating with some people, we should be able to accommodate your schedule. Aren't you feeling the love?

This isn't quite an official drive, which means some things are lacking and the course is more flexible. From San Gabriel, this will probably be a 250 mile round trip.
