PLEASE don't get Odyssey on this thread/board. I don't know if you guys remember, but he and I don't get along. I'm glad you guys had a fun drive, but I would've been even MORE glad if you'd told us Hwy9 die-hards about it. I woulda been up there in a flash!

 

[Natey]

WTF? Roy, either you spelled "Phil" wrong or I'm on glue. On the first page of this thread, all Roy's replies are by "DrPhill". If you skip to this page, he's Roywhitep5 again. (uhm)

Hehe, how can you two not get along. You're so friendly.

accept for when i almost killed myself, the drive down with odessy was fun. that suspension excedes my greatest expectations. it was so sick when odessy tried to jump that one hill thingy in the road

lol, ya, that was interesting to say the least. i saw the guys headlights ahead of me and i checked my mirror and saw u were side by side. nice manuevering.... do u mean my suspension exceeds your expectations? that was the second time i caught 4 wheel air on that hill yesterday... (rockon)

we dont get along? thats news to me... i was actually hoping u'd come last night. we never got our run...

 

[KpaBap]

Damn, too bad you guys caught me when I was already coming down. I was at vista for quite a while. I came up Moody Road and Page Mill (evil)

Damn Roy, don't die please.

Hey bro. I'm not trying to ignite any old fires, and I don't want to race your 300hp WRX. Way back when, I out-cornered a stock WRX, and I gloated about it. You called me on my stupidity, and my panties got wadded up. We got off on the wrong foot, that's all. I just didn't want to argue anymore.
Peace. (strike)

the old fires are long gone. theres nothing to argue about. i was hoping to see how bad my suspension actually was against yours. maybe if we meet later we can do some fun cornering comparisons... either way, i agree (strike)

[Natey]

Cool, Dave. I'm glad we were able to get past that schoolyard s***. (drinks)

Let's get up there before the rain comes and do some carving!

Just got back from Thunderhill. Now that was dope on the Grip side. Lots of GC8's running people down. But couldn't keep up with the Miata on the straight.

It was fun as hell. Check in for more events.

Organization setup by a good friend of mine. Great driver. We had a drift clinic as well as a Grip side of the course with instructors. Had around 90 cars there of different backgrounds.

Talk to you guys later, keep it safe on the street.

Peace, Rishie

 

[Natey]

Nice. I'd like to try that sometime in Julie's Miata.

 

[BadBandar]

wow is that hwy 35. damn that many people came. wow. looks fun.

My header is in. Here is my initial review. Installation was time consuming but really easy. My underhood temps have dropped dramatically. I have definitely noticed an increase in horsepower at the top end. From the seat of my pants I feel the peak horsepower has moved from 4-4.5 to 4.5-5k rpm. I have lost a bit of torque in the low end but not that much.

The car when first started sounded so loud with my bosal exhaust I couldn't drive it on the street. so I switched the axleback area back to stock leaving the rest of the bosal system in. Then it was quiet but had this high pitched rattle as if something was vibrating in the muffler. I took it to the shop and got an 18" resonator welded in the area where there is one on the stock system. Most of the rattle is gone except for under high load conditions.

I have yet to put a cat in(it's in my trunk and I'm gonna do some measurements and cutting today so it matches the test pipe). I'm hoping that after the high flow car is installed with the o2 bung behind it all those noinses will be gone, my car won't be so smelly(and it is), and I won't have to worry about a CEL anymore(not a problem yet).

If it all works out I'll put the Bosal axle back section back on and hear what it should be like. As of now the car is totally quiet unless under hard acceleration. At that point the beast comes to life and you hear what is really under the hood.

This was a great mod. The car seems to just keep on going up to near redline whereas before it seemed to weaken ater around 5k rpm. A good mod but it has cost me more than I would have liked. On this mod alone here is what I have spent.
120.00 header
230.00 coating
040.00 cat
125.00 resonator
010.00 flanges/gaskets
total:525.00 f'in a that's a lot of money

anyone wanna meet up on friday or saturday?

 

[Natey]

Are you busy wednesday night Andrew? We're planning a krispykreme meet in Mountainview. If you can't make it, I'll be around to meet up with you on the weekend. I wanna hear/smell/feel that header!

 

[ARD MP5]

Here we are lining up and here I am getting passed by an STI before turn one. Bad place to pass as we were moving to the outside to enter the turn.

Peace, Rishie

It was tons of fun. Suzanne drove most of the time.
