The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

[o0n8]

did you get a subie?

nope, friend blew his turbo and doesn't know where to begin for replacements or upgrades. I'm trying to talk him out of going big turbo and getting a replacement and just get it tuned.

Unless I come across the greatest deal ever that involves the MSP going away I think i'm done with turbo cars.

Why would you talk your friend out of a big turbo?

 

[tweiss3]

big turbo = crappy spool times

Plus he's not going for big power, just more. I don't remember everything he has but it's just some bolt-ons and no tune. A fully bolted & tuned 06 sti can make pretty good power from everything I've ever read. Even at stock psi.

makes me wish I was a better mechanic and got to find out what a fully bolted MSP would do on stock internals, turbo and psi.

Humm. Doesn't sound as exciting as the last AI event at Mid Ohio when we had lots o' Mazdas in attendance. What's the next track day the Meeps are attending?

Am I really going to be the only Meep there? Another lonely day for Patrick. Might have to bring a friend

If there are any Ohio Mazdaspeeds admins here please remove that troll Adam Herrilow from the group. He does not own the car in his fake facebook profile.

 

[pmartz16]

Thats what I was thinking too. I posted that 6crew link and it was from 7 years ago. But now he is asking me if I know anyone that is selling an ap that he could buy

 

[codex]

It's not the same person. He just created that fake facebook profile July 30th and stole that MS6 pic to join OMS.

 

[codex]

I have a suspicion that it's probably someone we know... but then again, who knows for sure.

So are there any other plans this year for a track event at Mid Ohio? It looks like the last NASA event there is Aug 23-25. I'm considering that instead of the labor day event. I want to go to Mid Ohio at least once more this year.

Speaking of trolls, I'm trolling my boss via email right now. He sent me a pic of Yes's bassist using a three necked bass and I said that it was silly. He got really defensive and keeps sending me youtube video's of Yes and going on and on about how awesome they are and trying to get me to like them since he's my boss and I have to do everything he says. And you guys know how much of a music snob I am. They are okay, but progressive rock can get a bit abrasive after 3-4 songs. I like some stuff, like King Crimson, Gentle Giant, early Genesis, etc. But I don't get a boner over prog-rock. My boss is very "I like this so you must like it too!" demanding kind of fellow. And I'm a dick.

LOL your job sounds about as hard as mine

BTW, the 2nd annual Corey Invitational autocross meet is August 25th in Toledo. So I doubt anyone will be going to the NASA event due to that.

FWIW, it's also the only event I'm planning on doing for the rest of the year. Hanging up my helmet early this year.

I tried registering for the Corey Invitational again yesterday but it still won't let me pay or register on their site. Worse case scenario, I'm one of those turkeys who registers at the event.

 

[pmartz16]

That's what I'm doing. I'm tired of trying and being told its my paypal acount's fault

 

[XCLR8TN]

If this is the life dealing with LSx clutches, I'm already sick of it and I haven't driven the car, lol.

Just select to pre-register and pay at site option.

That's what I did, no problems for me.

 

[THE Phen]

Same here.

 

[Lewis7789]

Doh! I didn't even see that option. NOW I'm registered....
