Tour of Edelbrock and their new Supercharger! August 28th
As most of you are aware, Edelbrock has an exciting new Supercharger kit out for our cars!
I have been contact with Michael, one of the sales representative for a bit now, and mentioned that I was interested in coming down and touring the facility. He graciously offered a full tour of the entire Edelbrock facility, as well as a close special look at the new kit! I am planning on driving down same day, most likely leaving around 5:00am. Details: -When: Friday August 28th, @ 2pm Meeting at West Wesley Rest Area off of i5 at 7am for departure -Where: "The tour will begin at our Corporate Headquarters at 2700 California Street, Torrance, CA 90503. Please allow up to 2-3 hours for the complete tour which will include our Manufacturing, Research & Development, Advertising and Sales Departments. Concluding at Vic’s Garage Museum at 510 Madrid Ave., Torrance, CA 90501. Photography is prohibited in our Research & Development Department, but allowed throughout the remainder of the tour." -How much: The tour is completely free of charge! From Michael: "Because you are highly interested in the FT86 kit, I will plan to incorporate a display and the company owned BRZ available to do any Q&A during the tour. Including one of our design engineers who has extensive knowledge on the technical aspects of the kit." Anyways, I know it is on a Friday, and everyone works, but if you have the ability to take the time off, I think this could be a really cool trip! Just let me know if you would like to come and I will add you to the list. Thanks! Coming: 1. @BigFatFlip 2. @Pwolf 3. @JS + BRZ maybe* 4. @shiumai 5. @FUN BRZ and wife 6. @jaycee842 7. @TofuJoe 8 @Lunatic 9. Last edited by The Racers Line; 08-26-2015 at 01:52 AM. Reason: title |

Damn, this is very tempting... Are you planning on driving straight over and back? I'm not looking forward to my back & arse taking all that beating, but I'm really considering it to get some more details.

After the tour, I figured we could grab some food or something and hang out until the traffic "dies down". It looks like a nice enough area, and close to the beach.

I hadn't thought about staying over night, but I can look into it. Maybe we could meet up with a Socal 86 group while we were down there?

I'm open to that as well. I know it would make the hotel rates cheaper too, and it theoretically help us avoid the LA traffic.
