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.

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.
CarsHype.com | CARSHYPE PRESENTS: TUNER EVO NC 2016 Part 1
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

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.

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.

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.
