Hwy 9 Fun Run!

I'm gonna go get a bite to eat with my friend, but I'm down for a drive today for sure! How about around 4-4:30?
 
Hmm, I need to change brake fluids. My brakes faded like a mother... in the middle of a hard run down Page Mill a few nights ago :)

Can we do that while we're up there? Can you bring your hoses and I'll bring containers and new brake fluid?
 
Sure thing. I even have some of that blue stuff of Jimmy's left. Between that and what I have left of the Valvoline, I'll bet you don't even need to buy fluid at all.
:)
I just got back from Togo's...I'll be ready to bail in about 1/2 hour. Maybe we could meet at Black Rd at 330?

I missed you guys today, but I got a new toy for the car.

Escort Solo S2 detector :D

Open box buys at Best Buy in combination with rewards zone gift certificates are awesome.
 
I finally extended my second o2 sensor. No CEL at last. Car sounds damn good too. I figured out why it sounded like s*** when I drove down. I found out that I had an exhaust leak, a big one.
 
I'd take the STI over the EVO hands down. Suby's rule. However the 4G is a beast with vast amounts of tunability. Guys are putting down crazy numbers. We were just dyno tuning one with an upgraded GT turbo on stock mani last friday. Putting down about 350whp.

Peace, Rishie
 
I just couldn't help myself what a nice ass day. I went on a HWY 128 run today and did a little more exploring. Some of the roads on this are like a drifters dream and so smooth like HWY 9. I went past barryessa and header west to Napa and cruised through the vinyards then headed in the opposite direction on HWY 121. The cruise up from the napavalley was almost exactly like Akina on Initial D. It has those pseudo gutters that Takumi uses to kick ass on the downhill. Tones of curves too that are all even. Not a single one of them tightened up during the curve so it was all threshold grip. What a kick ass drive. I love my car. I had to show it love by putting it through its paces and damn it was sounding good. 3rd gear at 4.5 it was just begging to be gassed more and then it felt like acceleration in 2nd gear. Damn I love this header.
