no not the white one. a black one, black tint, black tailights, with rally armor flaps. looked like gold 5zigens or something?

 

Know the car, not the driver. ****ty luck for him.

 

Wasn't me!

 

Taylor...that was over a 19 mile total cruise.... GOOD TIMES.

 

Forrest and I went on an impromptu drive this evening. My friend, Chris, also brought his 325i out. It just started misting when we met up but we decided to go for it anyway. We met in McKinleyville and headed down Center Ave. to Murray Road and continued until it turned into Fieldbrook. The roads in really good shape with plenty of elevation change, some really smooth turns, and a straight away or two where you can get on the gas. By the time we came back in the road was pretty wet. I snapped a few pictures. It's a little damp and a little dark but it's better than nothing!

 

19 miles and my fuel economy hated every last one of them. It just didn't feel right coming out of a single turn without boost.

 

Why no boost? Waiting on troubleshooting from the issues Ed mentioned?

 

Oh, there was boost. I was just driving such that I almost always had it near peak around 4500 RPM. Good for smiles per gallon, terrible for miles per gallon.

 

Ah ok...the part about "coming out of corners without boost" made me go "huh?"

I will probably jinx myself by saying this, but with luck I will be the owner of a new ride by the end of the weekend

Either that or I will still have a pocket load of cash. I call that a win win!!

 

WOW dudes, I hate my life right now.

I am about $3500 short Price is probably a bit high, but I do love the black cars

Anyone want to buy a turbo kit, or some other random crap?

 

That thing is ****ing clean.

 

Yes, yes it is.

I will let you in on a little secret though...I already have a set of SSL Recaro seats (from an Evo VIII MR, just likes the ones in my WRX) an Ej255 full engine w/ turbo and intercooler, an 06 WRX front wiring harness/ECU/immobilizer/key, 06 WRX hubs/axles and 4 pot brakes, 06 WRX steering column, and an 06/07 WRX tranny that needs a 3rd gear. Andrewtech quoted me about $900 shipped for the rebuild, and I know a guy with a rear diff from his 06 that I can probably get on the cheap.

So I need to get back my old 06 WRX cluster from the dude I swapped trunks with, an STI or aftermarket steering wheel for the WRX, a set of wheels to fit over the 4 pots....oh ya, and A CAR TO SWAP INTO!! If I cannot find an RS for the right price, I will have to settle for a 96-97 L and do an RS front end conversion.

I always do things bass-akwards!!

PS: Hey ViperWRX...*Nudge Nudge*

 

Here is another nice RS that I cannot afford lol

That is enough self pity for tonight hahaha

 

I wouldnt pay more than 5k for a stock/stockish rs. anything higher is wrx or swapped rs territory.

anyone else ever go to sidelines in arcata i am teh drunk right now.

 

Apparently me & the wife are going to Ft. Bragg area this weekend & RV camping out with a couple friends. Anything interesting to do there? More importantly, can anyone recommend any good bars for local brews? I am a big fan of Downtown Brown, and, while I'm pretty sure we're not going up north of Ft. Bragg (unless there's some really interesting roads to check out), I'd like to check out some local breweries while I'm there. Are there any other i-crub members local to the Ft. Bragg area down to meet somewhere around there & show us around? I'll be out there Saturday & Sunday, heading back probably Sunday night.
