i dont want to be kicked out after my first lap and waste $170 just to be safe i will put the axleback back to stock.

take note that i have catless front pipe setup too and before november i will have a UEL header as well

With the catless front pipe and catless UEL header, will putting on the stock axleback be enough? I'd think it would be pretty loud even with that on.. not sure about decibel levels though.

Anyway, hope you can run with us!

You lucky devils driving around on a weekday, so jelly (as I type sitting on my desk pretending to work, lol)

I may have mentioned that I was planning on doing an epic drive to the Sierras, but plans have changed, have to be in Stockton, so I'm planning this epic drive instead: Stockton to Benton CA via CA120, stopping by Mono Lake.

that looks like a pretty epic drive! are you doing it this Sat or Sun?

been thinking with all my time off on my hands, maybe just do a day trip to Reno. Throw a bunch of money on the roulette table and come home with some more mod money.

I did that this past weekend but in Vegas. Didn't win so no mods anytime soon. Lol

Plan is still up in the air. Leaning more towards Sat, but might be able to pull Sun, but not as crazy about it since I'd have to head straight back, which tac's on anther 1.5 hrs of boring, mind numbing freeway.

Reno is a good drive too (I was originally thinking Tahoe), not that crazy about gambling, I guess I didn't get that asian gambling gene

hey guys wanted to give you a sneak peek at a new design I had been working on... well @RC51ed came up with the basic idea and I drafted it up in PS.
A very limited production run of T-Shirts with this new logo are being made and will be available soon at our DRIVES and at the End of Summer raffle party. Once they are sold out, they are gone!

Not to worry, the familiar 3-car-logo everyone loved so much will continue on, as our official logo and appear on the front of the shirt. Stay tuned for more announcements!

Well it looks like Bryan might do his Stockton-CenCal drive, otherwise you can join me and maybe @MyRx at the NorCal MR2 meet in Half Moon Bay... you could come out and enjoy some seafood, maybe we can cruise Hwy 1 afterwards.

I recall Hwy9M&M was thinking of doing a Santa Cruz mountains drive sometime soon, perhaps he will chime in...

Here's a short clip from my dash cam with some music added in (from the Initial D live action movie). Pardon the windshield tint strip/turtle bobble head/low quality:

very cool, I loved the live action movie, *despite* the missteps from the anime/manga. and the terrible accents/acting by some of the actors...

Hmmm..sounds like a plan. What time are you guys heading out? How many twin owners are confirmed? Do we have to pay the $ to be a spectator?

I'll be there at 10AM that's when the show starts. Besides @MyRx not sure who else might show. Actually he's a maybe so if he ends up not going I bet you he'll give you his registration lol so you can park with us. But I'm pretty sure spectators could just park in the next lot over and come look at the cars too.

I registered and paid. But if I don't go, yes, you can take my place. PMok has the info and I'll let him know early Sat AM.

Good group to donate $10 too. Cool guys and def cool cars.
