Sorry player get the facts straight before you yap at the gums...he bought the car out of pocket with no help...

 

JT Archies lets set a date for this meet...It's going to be at mikey's work meet and greet with BBQ...Middle of July on a saturday in the after noon...

 

Dude At least take some pictures and post it so i can see the center cap. BTW you are going FEED not RE-A.
as far as the breaking-in the motor, BS Shawn after our rip sessions where you Got FDd, I know you wants paybacks!!!!!!LOL THE MOTOR IS BROKEN IN plenty.....do the mods and hit me up again @ the O.K. corral.

 

Mikey lets set a date for this event/bbq...schools is waiting on a date and time to spread the word so we can have this set in stone at your spot

 

Psssh your 2800 pounds ought to walk away from me! Besides, I was 2 for 4. 4th gear is your best friend in your car. I'm interested to see how it does in the twisties against you.

What I really want is to get my FD back up and back out that way.

 

I am more then willing to host, just remember that it is NOT located Central to anyone but myself..............

 

Yeah, but it does have access to some rather advantageous places 100-500yds away.

 

true true very interesting how i have to work the boost curve(your's on the STi that is to my advantage) interesting........................
How does she handle on the twisteeeeeees????

 

yeah everybody knows that already what date are you looking at to do this? Im thinking July 19th or the 26th gives enough time to spread the word and make this happen...My brother is going to spread the word on the san diego drift forum...im going to spread the word to IMG, schools has her group, and we could start a thread here on the forum...

 

You guys decide and lets get good coverage with all of the other S.D. motor Clubs.
It would be very nice to see the other clubs roll out and make this a open BBQ meet.

 

Lets just say that he walked all over me in the STI. Something about super duper center diff adjustments. Basically he didn't understeer where I did. That's OK though because I got to spray rocks all over his face.

Oh yeah....the damn STI IS broken in. We put 300 miles on it on Sunday alone and half of those were hard miles. Idyllwild and Mountain Center FTW

 

Dave and I went to Idyllwild this past Sunday. It handled nearly flawlessly and with much less understeer than I had thought there would be. I set my car to Sport# and had the diff completely open (35/65 rear bias).

Against the EVO, it was really a toss up. Dave is in serious need of new tires. They have probably 3-4/32nds of tread left. His car did tend to understeer more than mine, but I think new rubber would help 90%. I've become a definite believer in AWD.

 

Dave is gracious

I should hit 1000 by the end of this week and the COBB AP will go on.

 

Not surprised to hear that the STi had less under-s then anticipated!!! BTW new tires would help Dave out tremendously do to losing the traction on corner entree. and assist on powering out with no compromise.

How fun was that for you guys. **** I got caught up doing personal BS and didnt even get to do the clutch JOB on sunday. sucks assssssss man

 

alright here we go were throwing this event on July 26th Meet up time 12 in the after noon at Mikey work place at the 905. I will make a thread later with the correct address, pics, and what to expect...

 

Idyllwild is awesome. Having a passenger to talk to on the way up and to enjoy the insane speeds would be nice. Maybe Teddy will want to ride along next time. Mike, if you want help with the clutch, let me know.

We definitely need to hit Mountain Center and Idyllwild up.

 

What are the ratings:
difficulty 1-10
fun factor 1-10
velocity 1-10
scenery 1-10
over all value 1-10
please rate

 

i want to go back to idyllwild. its so pretty up there.

 

hey that was only cuz i had four people in it

 

give me address and all the details and ill tell people.....like its a bbq right? is it a bring your own kinda deal? pot luck?

whats the plan?

 

(P)=Palomar
(I)=Idyllwild


Difficulty: P-7 / I-8.5
Fun factor: P-9 / I-10
Velocity: P-6.5 / I-8
Scenery: P-8 / I-8
Overall value: P-8 / I-9.5

We regularly were over 70-80mph and cornering at 50-60+. It's pretty technical with a good mix of 90/180 degree turns. Some excellent long stretches to gain speed and then utilize your brakes. I would say Idyllwild is a mix of East Grade and South Grade, but 3x longer. I believe it's 37 miles long. Some traffic doesn't realize to utilize the turn-offs, but that happens. Dave and I were pushing this C6 HARD! There was this Lexus SUV that was absolutely bombing up the backside of the C6 too. I guess he lived up there, but man; could he drive the hell out of that thing!

 

Beach party sorta with out the beach and drama of the public. I'll take some pictures of the location as well.
As far as the pot luck goes is what ever people want or would like to bring. Since I will be hosting, I'll ask that you bring lawn chairs and a smile. Ready to make new friends and connection.
I'll provide ice coolers with drinks and BBQ grill and tables and such!!!! really the only thing cool and ideal about this place that Teddy took notice of is the fact that on the weekends there is no body around and the parking lots is wide open.
If you guys want to get things rolling let me know and start up a OFFICial THREAD.

 

I see some smack talking and backing it up at the 905 taking place hehehehe. Chris, are you getting into another Impreza?

 

I just might have to take a pepsi challenge on this one. you rated the difficulty at 8.5 vs 7
also higher velocity and both overall dead even on scenery 8. Cause palomar is pretty to look at!!!!!IMO

 

It's just a long **** drive at 2 hours to get up there. Not that bad if you blast up the way that we came back but that only works for us "livin out in the sticks" Ramona hicks.

Part of what made Idyllwild technical was that we were on 3 different types of surfaces (old smooth asphalt, brand new rock gravel asphalt, and new smooth asphalt). Very different handling characteristics at the limit for each one.

One thing that Archie probably didn't illustrate very well was the difference in traffic. It was pretty damn packed up there. I'd recommend going during the week or late on Sunday just because of traffic up there.
