Thanks to everyone who made it out yesterday for what very well could be the last drive of the year! In true fashion, only a few people replied and said they were coming and then we had a total of 10 cars, wow! What a great community of passionate 86 owners we have here in the bay area!
Glad that everyone had a safe and enjoyable drive, despite the traffic and cyclists. @
jwlee7ucla and I ended up continuing on and doing Palomares which was pretty fun despite running into some traffic toward the end.
I ended up topping off my tank with 4.5 gallons of 100 octane in Sunol, and then went back up Palomares, Redwood, and Pinehurst. I know some people might say it was placebo, but after filling up with the 100 octane I felt a fairly dramatic increase in acceleration and power above 4.5k RPM. The engine just screamed and the acceleration literally pushed me back in the seat. Very much different than the engine response I had experienced earlier in the day on Shell 91 octane. Needless to say this made for a very fun blast back up these three fun driving roads.
Lastly, special mention to @
BPM and his WRB BRZ with neon wheels. Great job at rocking an extremely low and amazing looking BRZ yet still keeping it functional enough to hang with us on the twisties! Great balance of form and function, imo. I especially love the way that the Greddy EVO 3 sits angled slightly upward - looks amazing with the RB rear diffuser.
Hope everyone had a great holiday, cheers!
