you should get something quiet though. You don't want the cops on your *** when you're just cruising. They're going to start targeting loud cars even more now.

 

I think I'm going with a FEED system.

I heard a clip of the Single Tip and it sounds awesome and didn't seem as loud as the N1's.
I'm also looking at FEEDS Duel Tip though...

But ya, I don't want anything over 93dp's.

 

turbo-back or catback?

 

Well, after speaking with a vendor I think I might go with RE-A's Dolphin Tail Single, which is a cat-back system.

And the FEED I was looking at is a cat-back as well.

 

damn im bored haha that im stuck looking at the forums all day at work... fridays is very slow......

 

I'm the opposite. All hell is breaking lose. Wars between editors and us and all this BS!!!

 

Good luck. We're a bit tight here too.

 

At least it's friday.

 

lol damn I just got back from my 2 hour lunch which anyone cares lol ate some sushi and goofed off at best buy. lol and spotted a white FD on the way back with some body work on it. xD

 

haha, we just had sushi too. YUM! No two hour lunches though.

 

you work at best buy?

 

nope lol I work in IT at richmond city hall

 

well we did a dry run today and I have some good news and bad news.

Bad News: the road I wanted to use originally is a single lane road and not worth the hassle if too many cars come. It IS fun and in good shape but the potential on-coming traffic might be a problem.

Good News: we can drive 20 minutes longer and use another road and end up in the same picture spot as I had originally planned.

I'm working on a map as you read this so if you received a copy of the original map, discard it.

PM me if you want a new preliminary map or wait till it's finished and you'll receive an email (as long as you sent your info to the barotaryclub@gmail.com) when the final route is chosen.

we'll do another dry run next weekend so keep an eye in here every once in a while.




A couple of things I noticed:
-Speed limits are 35 in some parts, 45 in others. The majority of traffic (~10 of 12) there today was going 50 in the 35 and 60+ in the 45.

-There are miles of windy road but there are patches of rough road so be prepared to drive "like a line backer" avoiding rough parts .

-There are bikers and cyclists so you can't go too fast and should expect a cyclist at every corner. Motorcycle guys were pretty retarded today so don't assume these guys are decent riders.

-There is a lil "gang" of "mountain racers" in the area. Red civic (~2004+), S4 TII (I think there is something wrong with it), and a LOUD-*** silver RSX. Had to slow down so they could pass me otherwise they would stay on my *** the whole way .

 

lol TII huh lol and a bunch of civics is this the same guys who brought his friends to the 1st meet?

 

Cool...

 

They were pissing me off, I don't like people on my *** and I hate having to slow down too much to be passed. You shouldn't be in the opposite lane trying to pass if I have to slow down for you to make it in the lane before the next curve. They weren't looking ahead far enough

 

Eh...I would have kept holding them up. The "Tougay" runners get annoying, but the roads are so narrow, what can they do? The bikers on the other hand, that surprises me. Sunday is supposed the big bike day when they act like anything with more than two wheels is crap, and drive like ******' morons. Ussually the bikers have a decent amount of respect. .

 

lol, That's the thing, they didn't want to go faster, they wanted me to race them. After they passed and realized I didn't wanna play they pulled off the road and turned around.

So, the new route makes the cruise 2x longer.

I dunno, what do you guys think?

Short way- One lane, TWO-WAY, road with blind corners 18 miles total driving from Hakone Gardens.

Long way-Two lanes but 33.5 miles total driving from Hakone Gardens.

 

Haha! I guess we know why the Tii is broken.

 

It took him forever to pass. Only 150whp on this NA too. I'm telling you, something had to be wrong with it. Shot a nice flame though.

 

Did it have S5 tail lights?

 

no

Silver S4 with rear 1/4 panel damage (I don't want to speculate from what).

 

so, LONG way or SHORT way?

 

Whats the ******' discussion?!?! Long way.

 

it's 33.5 miles, so if everyone is cool with it then we'll do that.
