Sorry, I don't have a new face available.
Hideous, as it may be, the old one will have to do.

People of the FiST community. I will see you in the morning. I have been down low looking forward to this. 7/8 tank of E30 and newly installed power flex pass bushing..I’m ready

I have a nearly empty tank now but will be filling up at the Shell gas station down the street from Lancers on Magnolia. There’s also Mobil and 76 in the area for those that have a preference.

As I said before, a great time was had.
The roads and weather was perfect.

The only awkward moment was when Dpro asked to feel my shifter.

 

[RubenZZZ]

I missed out! I got dad.t and had to do the family thing today.

Looks like everyone had a good time. I had to work Saturday night into Sunday morning. One of these damn weekends I'll make it!

To recap yesterday's meet & greet in a word, it was Great!

The food at Lancers was very good and so was their service. Interesting patrons, but comfortable place and served our needs perfectly with ample parking spaces.

I think we had the right amount of guys for our drive, anything 10 and under seems perfect. The length and durations spent at each location was about right. The day ended for most of us around 1:30PM by the time we got back into the valley to reconvene and stop for refreshments/food.

Up in the canyons the pace set and led by Danny was perfect. Thanks Danny!
Everyone had the opportunity to enjoy their time and cars in the twisties.The weather was perfect up there, where it was sunny and comfortable, not too hot.

Some notable learning moments I took away from yesterday's meet.
- No cops spotted at all the whole time up in the twisties.
- Dave (Orange Crush) got to feel Dave's (Molten) shifter and play with it.
- Alex knows how to replace his spare tire and about the cargo platform's adjustable levels. He's also jonesing for Recaros.
- Dave (MO) learned how to get the rear end up to enable a jack to slide under and clear.
- Denis realized the necessity of a coolant overflow cap and how to bleed the radiator.
- Danny learned all the curves of the rear end of a Vitara, he knows every inch of it now.
- I learned Dave (MO) doesn't like to use his brakes in the twisties and has knarly rear camber.

It was a fantastic drive I also managed to heat blister the outer edge of my fronts. I now officially need stickier tires!

Didn't realize you blistered your tires. Got pics? would like to see how bad.

Be advised, I only let him feel it from the passenger side.

Thanks @Dpro for showing me the lines, driving tips, and giving encouragement. Thanks @koozy for organizing and keeping this thing going. Thanks @D1JL for being funny and knowing a lot about a lot . Thanks @danny for showing us the insanely high limits of this car with good rubber, suspension and hybrid turbo. Thanks @dmb for the detailer to remove bugs and grime.

I had so much fun I had to go back today, retrace the route and rip through another 5 gallons of e30. Today was all about the driver mod. The better I get the better the car gets. I made it to route 2 then hit some rain and turned around. Had the roads to myself and the Bridgestones were not bothered by damp roads.

My car didn't heat up on the way home, also didn't barf out any coolant. missed hwy2 and learning from you guys, next time

Someone is hooked, haha. Get comfortable with a route, so one day you can lead us.
