I'm out of town that day/weekend as well. Sorry you'll just have to miss your reunion.

This sounds fun. I wouldn't have thought that people would still be active here but this is great!

I’m down to do it monthly if the weather isnt shitty

[Srey_Songz]

I see you're based in Vancouver! I am as well!

The object here is to spend some quality time with friends old and new. Safety will be paramount. This IN NO WAY is a contest. Zero pressure to drive outside of our individual comfort zones.

We will follow all posted - white sign - speed limits, especially in the straights. I will check up for all straight sections.

Please take all blind corners conservatively. Be ready for anything.

To be obvious about our good intentions, we will check up and give a wide berth for bicyclists and pedestrians.

We will share the road politely when we encounter other motorists. Most folks, on noticing the action in their rear view, happily pull to the side for us. If they choose not to, so be it. We can always come back another day. It's a beautiful, fun cruise even when parading through corners.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you have family-band radios, bring them along. We'll pick a channel at the driver's meeting before we head out.

I'm really looking forward to this! It has been way too long.

First off, it will be nice to meet everyone. I am surprised at the level of response and it should be a good time.


Secondly, I wanted to address lunch. Kizuki doesn't have any outdoor seating and is not that big of a place. Given the current ongoing situation I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable or obligated to hang around inside. Looking at nearby options post cruise lunch will be at BG Food Cartel. It is about 10 minutes from the original location. There is nearby parking in a lot NW. There is also street parking if you are comfortable with that. Outdoor seating and 31 food carts. I'd recommend checking it out, I have my eye on a waffle sandwich.

4250 SW Rose Biggi Ave, Beaverton, OR 97005

I would like to show off my new toy! Sold my FRS two weeks ago and I have a Edelbrock SC BRZ right now, putting 4.875 FD gears in it next week

I'm down to do another meet up sometime, i'll keep an eye on the forums

Thread jack: why are you going with 4.875 FD on your BOOSTED 86? Don’t get me wrong, I love the 4.56 in my NA FRS. But why 4.875? Drag racing?

Hill climbs, daily driving torque. Running 18" wheels so effective FD ratio is actually longer than OEM.
I ran 4.56 with my NA FRS, and I frankly loved how eager the car was. If I was running a turbo where I ONLY want to stay in the boost RPM range it's a different story.

The Edelbrock SC kit has a super linear powerband, it literally feels like a bigger NA engine. I will be keeping the 4.1 FD diff for faster tracks like PIR, but I want the 20% more torque for Mary Hill hill climb that's coming up soon

I will happily also suggest BG's Food Cartel, lots of space and food choices.

I will be joining the crew this Saturday, reunion got cancelled. I should have my new gears installed by then as well
