Wasn't able to make it anyway, it'd be fun for a night where i won't have to worry about work the next day.

Did they say when they expect them? Maybe we can plan a Saturday or Sunday visit.

I work with a lady who's grand daughter is some sort of employee (i don't know what position she has), and I was told that they would open next wednesday.

Saw a white brz at the three dollar theatre on Villa.

he parked very close to me, had some kind of gas cover thing!

It was hot, and the tires gave up easily. Primacies just made it worse, I'm sure. My last run was horrible, ten runs on my Z2s and they just had nothing left. I'll have new rubber on my car this week, getting AD08Rs this time.

Just a question, but is anyone planning to run an oil cooler in the Fresno heat for DD and some fun?

I'm not sure if its worth while but in our heat conditions it might

I've thought about getting something like this, but that's about it.

Im thinking of a auto tranny and motor oil cooler. Im thinking the Forester type oil cooler and am still on the fence about a tranny cooler. But it will be sometime till I get around to it as im setting up a new jobsite in Merced right now.

Very interesting. I was wondering why they did not do this in the first place in building the car.

I noticed a big issue is that heat has a hard time leaving the engine bay. But do you think those fender vents really make much of a difference? I feel like a nice small cooler would be good as well but I've also seen people just get a better radiator? Keeps temps more stable? Not sure how much of an impact it makes from stock
