Hi folks. Originally from MN, born and raised. Thinking of starting or ending a long road trip with a few days in the twin cities.

How often are there cars & coffee or meet events? Summer on the lakes is the greatest, just hope the UEL/Exhaust and punk looking car doesn't merit unwanted attention. Car doesn't stick out in CA, but I've been in rush hour on 100/62/394. No real lookers on a daily basis

CnC happens on the first Saturday of the month, I think April thru Sept.

For whatever reason I feel damned to find 93 anywhere around the metro.

I know it's out there I just never see it. Not at SA anyways. I think Holiday and BP are better for it.

I know it's around though, no need to bring any.

Did you go with the fb turbo kit?

I have an p&l kit. However p&l is moving and their dyno is still out of commission.
I am going flex fuel. However, I would need a 93 tune as well included in that. Only 87 89 and 93 octane are available in chicago

I would think that there are more, but link has multiple brands.

Tried to go to CnC on Sat. morning. Way late, no close parking, so much for that. It's OK, went to the Autocross at Valley Fair as planned and got a treat watching a 4C run. Very nice. Not to mention meeting up with friends.

I had a miscommunication with the roomate and missed cnc also.

Ended up going on a 30 car back road power cruise with the 8th gen civic guys though. Boy was that fun.

A run from Saturday:

2nd fastest from Sunday - forgot to record the fastest.

I'm so happy that I made such steady progress all weekend. I think that when I arrived i was still pretty accustomed to the Audi club Ice driving events.
