word up!

 

thanks for the pics, really appreciate them.

 

glad i can help.....


cant wait till saturday!!! finally gonna get some snowboarding in my life!!!!! and sport the new rack to go with it =]... scared though... i hope she can make it up there and back down.... just hit 160k a few days ago =/

 

no smoke, no problem!

 

haha its not smoking, but i do smell some sort of burning smell oftenly might be the seals in my exhaust when they put them on, they smered some sort of past idk what exactly it was but i know it was for the seals.. i hope its nothing major and i hope my enginedoesnt end up taking a **** up in the mountains

 

Well, considering you're going snowboarding, overheating shouldn't be as big of an issue. But in CO the roads near the slopes are just as covered as the mountains themselves, so tires definitely makes a difference.

What kind are you using for this trip? I have 4 studded tires just for ventures like this. I wouldn't be confident at all if I didn't. Otherwise coming home I'd just slide right off the road into a ditch. Thats the last place I wanna be after riding all day!

 

First of all, Dude car looks sick with the roof rack and the fairing. Thanks for posting them pics !

You guys got snow already ? damn they dont open over here in jersey til December.

Yea let me know if you make it back with no problems.
You running N/A or Turbo ? I'm going to pick my N/A fc tomorrow pretty excited, that baby has tho 180 thousand miles, Im a little worry if the engine fails on me. Doesnt smoke or anything for now it turned up and drove good. Have plans to do a full maintenance when i get it.

 

Tires and weight ratio on the car is important when driving especially on bad weather terrain.

i think the fc has a good weight ratio balance does anyone know any information about that?

 

50/50 weight ratio.

I'm not saying the car is that bad (but its light, so yeah, it kinda is)
I'm sayin with shitty tires (as in summer high performance) in a light car, going around downhill hairpins, even at 5 mph can cause an accident. It happens daily on the passes...

 

my fc is NA for now haha...

i got some new falken ziex 502s in the front and semi used (75% tread still) cooper all season tires in the rear... i shouldne run into any snowy slippery problems yet.. the snow on the mt there is man made for now, el nino should be hitting pretty soon =], and i shuld only be worried about icey spots in the road..... i drive with extra caution up there anyways =]

 

50/50 thats good. yea car is kinda light but with the weight ratio its workable.

of course its good to have either fresh tires when handing all-terrain conditions or winter tires.

i wished they opened my mountain already

drive.safe

 

Hahaha I just relized the jeep at my girls house has a yakima roof rack!!

 

yeah son!! just ordered a new snowboard... gonna look dope on my rack haha

 

What kind?

I'm really tryin to save up for the Ride DH2, but if my FC keeps jackin all my funds I can't get a new board til next season

 

LTD.. i know its not the best of brands but i like them...

 

It doesn't matter the brand, its the type of board for the type of rider you are. Although, since Ride is the only company with "pop rods" (hollowed out carbon fiber tubes, 2 on each tail.) I think my choice is quite obvious. Effin A they're expensive tho!



Plus it'd be nice to have an all mtn board. It sucks hittin up the bowls with my Ride Kink (All Park Board) Not that its that bad, but there is literally NO tail or nose! It only lifts up like 1 inch, not exagerating. Although I do love its buttery like tendencies But lets just say, I don't nollie over rollers anymore. I remember the last time I made that mistake!

 

NICE!!! said

 

i been wanting to get a new board too, but didnt know they had different specs for the boards like freestyle, mountains, etc do think u can break down the use of each type ?

Like you said its the board that matters that really the brand.
I got my Liq Board used so didnt know to much about it and with Drake Bindings.

My pref is going to mountain slopes do some jumps hear and there ;
not looking for those heavy boards that weight a bunch u can only do a hop jump.

Something light weight and guess multi-purpose type do you which it kind it might be ?

thanks

DC 91 fcs : nice how was the mountain and the fc when you took it there?

 

^^ it was good.. the drive was fine just the uphill part was kinda scary didnt want to push the motor the whole way.. but i had to drive in 3rd for a while until i reached the flat land.. all in all the car made it up there np =)

and the slopes were okay considering it was man made snow

 

 

 

Thats awesome, your board matches your car almost perfectly... White top, w/ black bottom, haha

 

haha yeah thats kinda why i picked that board lol... the bottom looks like the japanese flag sorda haha... and it fit my budget too

 

I LOVE MY RACK!!!! haha

 

not an fc but an rx7 with a rack...someone stole my front fairing when it was on a diff car of mine, tried to steal the whole rack:
