Yeah gotta have 4wd to play for real.

 

Dang is cars and coffee coming up again already this weekend? Feel like I was just there.

 

 

Next up Tuner Evolution! Next Saturday.

 

BBQ and fire maybe

 

Was just polishing the TL and looked through the windshield and guess what I saw?

 

seats and a steering wheel?

 

My TL became a real TL at some point recently. CRACKED DASHBOARD lol.

But I did have a sudden urge to finally install the spoon steering wheel that has been laying around for years.

TE was great. Can't wait to see your full coverage dude!

 

Definitely had a good time at TE.

 

 

 

 

Not happy at all that I had to miss...again.

Next year, I gotta have all my event dates turned-in to the "boss" by Feb/Mar timeframe, so I can block the calendar off.

 

 

 

I want the sticker this guy had on his window: Mecklenburgring

 

That car needs some good wheels on it instead of those.

The red IS300 was amazing.

 

 

 

So here is the link to Part 1 of 3. I took way too many pictures to make one feature.

Also, my Salmmedenuff plans have been cancelled because my roommate bailed last minute so I'm going to the dragon for the first time with the Genesis community. Should be an interesting weekend and hoping the subie preforms well. Only wish I had better brakes for the drive

 

 

Anyone going to Petit this weekend?

 

Really nice photos Bryan. Thanks for the shot!

 

What is Petit?

Anyone going to C&C this weekend?

 

Petit is the land of fat asses.

 

Let's go next year.

 

That is a fat ass. The Vagon loves to road trip so if we plan it far enough in advance I am not opposed to a LeMans camping trip.

 

My brother went. I didn't go this year. They had half of a 919 hybrid built out of LEGO there on display.

 

Hi Friends.

Just read Like 30 Pages worth of chatting. Oh EM Geeee.

 

ACCURATEin, really nice shots!

Brian, always love your coverage. Looking forward to seeing the rest.

Stephen Linson, howdy.

 

 

Dang it has been dead in here.

 

yeah, pick it up already! otherwise im never coming back to nc lol. in actual car-related news, i'm shopping toyota 4runners ...

 

Let's do beer night again? I work near uptown and can meet almost anywhere every night after 6pm

 

woooo, I thought you guys died. Ive just been taking it easy and ordering car parts. Gonna enjoy my b-day tomorrow and then go to GoPro Sunday around noon if anyone is interested.

 

A few of the parts so far have been new brakes and new clutch kit. ACT Streetlite flywheel, Cobb short shifter, and new subaru linkage should be here shortly. Brakes were installed 2 weeks ago thursday and I notice a huge improvement. They're powerstop rotors and Evolution Z23 sport pads. I was gonna order ss lines but I dont need them quite yet.

And my clutch from Spec came in Friday and wasnt really expecting it to get here so soon. They shipped it out that Tuesday! Its a Stage 2+ rated for 450 ft-lb and because this transmission is a jdm version 4 STi 5 spd with 4.44 FD its a fairly strong trans (kinda bummed it doesnt have the RA gears and DCCD). Should be more than enough to hold the power I want to make down the road.

Happy Birthday dude! My birthday is the 10th

 

I hope you make it out back to NC soon. I don't think I will be on another CO trip for a few years. I plan to come out every 3-4 years as the skiing and beer is just too good.

Oh 4runners nice. TRD Pro? They are beautiful. Be great for all the climbing you do. The tan or grey colors are awesome.





Or Stormtrooper style never fails.
