[PMok]

just a heads up the place closes at 9. so come by before then if you want to actually eat. Otherwise we will be hanging in the parking lot (or if it gets too crowded/we get booted we will go to the nearest starbucks).

I'm out with a Supra MkII group tomorrow (driving the FR-S) for the usual Mines Rd/Junction/return (not Mt. Hamilton) run starting at the McD's/Kinkos/etc parking lot off the First St. Exit off 580 in Livermore. Meeting time is 10am, pretty nice group like the ones with FT86'ers. If you have nothing to do...

Good seeing you guys tonight at Blvd Burger! Fun times and cool discussions. To be continued at next week's meet ups.
Wonder who was that Hot Lava FRS that kept circling the area LOL.

Also pmok do you have speed bleeders installed? They can be bought for 10 bucks a pair and make the whole process alot quicker and easier

Yes I installed a set on my BRZ ... but I am considering taking them back out because they don't work well for me. I tried to bleed the brakes by myself with them just before a track day and they ended up sucking air back into the lines making my pedal very mushy. We ended up going back and bleeding them the old fashioned (two-man) way, and now I don't know if I can trust the speed bleeders anymore.

Sorry to hear that I never had any issues when I tracked my corolla

Hey, just saying Hi from Half Moon Bay -I noticed you guys are driving tmw on the "Pesky" (Pescadero) loop. I've only met PMok once at a track day, but would be cool to meat up with other fellow ft86club members If do actually go out there, let me know, it would be fun to tag along.

plan to do this at 7am. gona meet up ideally at the starbucks in san mateo near the beginning of the 92 hwy. If you are still down pm me your number. The route is the same one I posted from a few weeks ago, 2 hour drive from point A.

The route is:

280 fwy to 92 (B-C)

skyline rd (35)(C-E)

la honda hwy 84(E-F)

1 hwy (F-G)

pescadero rd all the way back up through la honda, onto the 35 going northbound (G-H-E-C-D-B)

this would probably take 2 hours if you start and end at point B (the full loop).

I'm driving from San Francisco, if anyone wants to join me for this we can set up a meeting point.

found it

Thanks to @finch1750 for making the trip over to Livermore and joining in the fun of the MkII Supra fall run. When 'kickin tires' before we started, a couple of drivers saw us and joined in the fun, one in an Evo MR, and the other in a Noble M400, wowsers! Jonah and I took the lead with a few miles back of the Junction and got major props from the other fast cars who thought that the FR-S were very poised around the twisties.

Will update with pics when I get the new goofy phone mastered...
