We have yet to get pizza as a mob for all the meets i've been to. If you want different food we could always grab a few folks willing to grab food else where then meet the mob back at the scene.

I like that idea, going somewhere else would be cool every once in a while, course it would be only a few of us cuz everyone gets to the meet at different times.

Not much, you've got a heavy foot


I'm down around 17, so I feel your pain.

The first e-mail I got, a month ago, was an error, and it was for a shift **** that was shiped to ND.
It was a hold up at Eibach. Eibach makes the Prodrive stuff, including the springs I ordered for the RS (Prodrive P1s). Mine just shipped today too. I ordered them quite a while ago also

I've been thinking about that place because they've got so many different and relatively inexpensive offerings. The parking lot is a bit cramped - there's that lot on the back side but I don't know how full it is on a Saturday night, guess I could check.

FYI - that lot is closer to the freeway and has L&L Hawaiin BBQ, Pot Bellys, Great Wraps, Quiznos, Terryaki To Go (WORLDS better than Terryaki Time), Panera Bread, some mexican place, Juice it Up, Brew it Up and the Safeway with a Starbucks inside.

I agree that a parking garage would suck *****. I don't like standing around my car all night with nothing to do. I like to stand around and chill, but I also like eating dinner with everyone. I have a feeling we'd get booted off Sac State in their garage too but I don't know. IMO, one of the best things about where we meet is that like NYR said, local PD is cool with us and we don't get hassled too bad by a bunch of other groups looking for street races (though for some reason the ones who do bug us have all been Mustangs so far). It's nice not to worry about the cars or PD when you're out like that.

Are you sure that thing is stock? You'd get better mileage with an uppipe and some tuning. Hell, even in my VF30/injectors/fuel rails/TBE/uppipe/ECUtek 02 WRX wagon I could still get 21-22 MPG.

Haha, my daily commute is up and down Sunrise in rush hour traffic. You do the math.

I wonder if my bad gas mileage could have something to do with the ARCO 87 octane gas I use?

You've never ridden in a car with me, have you? How could my lead foot + heavily modified WRX get 3MPG more than you?

Besides, I bet Mr. AX3 gets better mileage than you with .5L more engine and modifications; and he has the same commute.

Something strange is afoot at the Circle K.

Hmm...weird...I had my 30K checkup 6K ago...how often do K&N drop-ins need to be cleaned/oiled? What could be causing that? Maybe it's just cause my car isn't tuned?

I'm at 36K now.

I got about 18/19 with the WRX and get about 16/17 with the STi.

Heavy right foot and I-80 traffic sucks *****...

On my last trip to LA, I got 26mpg but Marie was in the car so the right foot lost some weight.

Is it $35/wheel or for all 4 wheels?

And the difference with Sunrise is that it is literally stop and go, isn't 80 rush hour usually at least moving, albeit, slowly?
