2nd post at the top of this page... I'm from St. Paul myself... Aldrich arena had a car meet today, too bad my car is still at FullBlown.

I assumed that was your car from looking at your avatar :-)... Is grey the technical name?

I went with a gun metallic for my ultramarine. I hope it ends up looking good once I get them.

Supercharged fr-s

I used to auto-x a supercharged civic but found it to be too much power for a FWD car so I'm very pleased to be in a 6-sp rwd with LSD and 300rwhp. Any cruises or meetups in the twin cities?

Minnesota is somewhat inactive when it comes to meets. Not like if you were part of 8th civic like back in the days

Those were the days! Midway races at night, cruises during the day.

How many folks would be interested in a cruise in couple weeks?

There will be a cruise coming up in early May, hopefully... Read the 2nd post from the top on the previous page.

Update:


As there seems to be a few interested parties out there, I post some follow up information. She's out of hibernation and on the road again, I got a little antsy. I've decided that on May 21st, I will be going on the WisconScion. For those in the St. Paul area (or anyone else), I start at Perkins in Apple Valley (8:00 am), but can meet at the Holiday on the Hwy. 10/61 intersection (8:30 am).


Not looking for firm commitments (life happens), but it's nice to let Hansen's (big bike stop) know about how many are coming down.

I'm in!

Keeping my fingers crossed I have my wheels and coillovers installed by then.
@Blu-by-U you wouldnt happen to know if we run into any e85 stations along the way would you? I only get 230 miles or less to a tank. I do have flexfuel, but it's soooo much more fun on e85

I hear you, I'm running 93 instead of 91 once out of hibernation, but my lady is stock. That query came up last fall and the answer is, E85 is more readily available north of Hwy 10, up towards I-94. I'm guessing that you'll have to behave yourself on the way down, unfortunately, but we are on milk truck roads in farm country. The neighborhood loves to watch us run through the area, but we have to be respectful in return. That being said, I set my cruise control at 55 so that I can say OOPs and back off at the appropriate moments. I can track the locations if you want me to, that way you can get it by preference. In most cases, E85 is about 15 - 20 minutes off the trail, but doable.

Redwing, Wabasha, Menomonie and River falls are going to be your best bet. Two down and two back, best I can do for you.

Alright thanks, I'll look into those areas... I don't want to be a nuisance to the group though either, so if theyre gonna be too far off course, I can live with a 93 fill up :-)

I will hit US Hwy 35 from time to time on the route (Wabasha area), a quick pit-stop should be doable. Red Wing would be a good choice on the way back. The afternoon part of the route is fun, but there are times when I cut it short. Plenty of opportunities to break off and call it a day.
