Unfortunately, we did not Diori. It was getting really slick once we got to the intersection of Kanan and Mulholland. At that point, it was all for the better when we called it quits.

Next time though! I have some more ideas for routes; tradervic and I talked about various routes so that should be awesome.

That was fun for a short run. As cold it was outside, my oil temp was a little over 240degree!!! I guess an oil cooler is my next thing I'll buy for the car.

I'm surprise that camera guy was out so early.

Having an oil cooler made all the difference for me. Last time, I was going in between 3rd and 4th and was not pushing the car that hard and my oil temps were sitting at 260 by the top of Piuma. This morning, I was really hammering on it in 2nd and 3rd and even though the rpms never went below 4k rpm, the oil temps never went higher than 200 degrees.

Keeping the engine cooler makes it much more responsive and punchy as well due to heat soak and the various disadvantages of the engine running hot. I think we caught the camera guy right when he got there since he scrambled to get my picture on the way back haha.

He was thinking? Damn these guys are hardcore!! :driving:

i really wanted to come out today for my first canyon run.. decided not to with the wet pavement.. bummer to hear you guys didn't make it far. i'm def planning on comn out for the next run.

Yeah you guys are hardcore :driving:. I couldn't keep up. I was in 2nd gear most of the time and my oil temperature was staying at 220.

Hey Paul, you guys will get better, and you can't underestimate you guys ability, at least nobody lost it? Thats the most important thing. :tup:

Yep safety comes first.

'Cept for my close call because of the dirt I think everything went well.
I think I'm improving...LOL anything really would be an improvement from my first run with you, vic, and marco.

Yeah, all I remember seeing was you going into the turn and then I see a huge ploom of dust and dirt shoot up haha. Your extra tire size and LSD definately let you accelerate out of turns much faster than I could though!

I am just thankful I did not embarrass myself in front of Triple's...

you can see in the video that i started backing off after i slid and trips started pulling on me more. I'm going to upload the vids to youtube and link it here. I just need to trim them first because the duration is too long.
Also, the angle was better than my last vids but not as good...and the damn keyes paper on my windshield was blocking the view a little.

A couple more runs and a few different mounting locations and you will find the best one eventually! Btw; did you feel the NST pullies made a difference on your car?

Not really cause I got them installed 3 days after the exhaust install...

That's good to know, I am undecided between my next mods but NST pullies are on the list. Well, today is a beautiful sunny day lol. WTH sunny southern California? :rolleyes:

It is a nice sunny day for driving.

But somehow the sun brought out all the stupid dangerous drivers today. Almost got into 3 accidents earlier. Yes, 3 separate accident.

And none of them would have been my fault.

Thats why your supposed to chill on Sunday! :tiphat:

i feel so left out :(
i blame arnold!

Good news is that you have a month to get those tires sorted out!

The pics are up

Nice one for free!!

^ Andrew, I can see your face. Here are the rest.

and I think his turning Green? :roflpuke2:

HAHAHA no more turning green always got dramamine now.
Plus, I was taking it easy already by that point, started getting wet lol I couldn't even see you guys ahead of me anymore.

Videos to come tomorrow I think.
Upload is taking a looooonnngggg time.

Nice Paul, + rep for posting the pictures! Those came out pretty nice actually, considering that the guy practically ran out to take them haha. I can't wait for the video Andrew!

Should have better videos next run. I mounted it on the fangs today and drove it on the freeway and it stayed on LOL

Awesome videos Andrew, thanks for posting them! I need to watch through the first one to see if I can find "the mishap" haha, it will be cool to see how the video turns out from the fang perspective next time.

It looks very good from the fang area. you can barely see it on video when i slid a little. It's in video 01 and you have to watch for when trips kicks up some dust. I slide a bit right after that.

Nice Vids Andrew :tup:

Thanks...wait till next run itll look even better since im not trippin about it falling off when mounted on the exterior anymore haha

ill be at the next run for sure.

sure! :stirthepot:

unless is rains again my black A$$ is out. lol

I did see a few times when your back end kicked out a little bit, I can definately tell when you slowed down though. Oh well, I vow it will be dry next time so that we can actually do some real driving. I will have a camera with me as well by that point!

A few times? lol I thought it only happened once...where did you see it?

Oh and Seb said he'll see if he can make it out to the next run. Damn he took me for a ride in his Z and that TT hauls ***! making me wish I had enough money for that.

damn xdes, those video looks good. Now I want a camera like yours. :crying:

it's pretty inexpensive if you consider the quality of the video and how small it is.

we can't let our cars get wet now, can we? :roflpuke2:

barring weather i'm in next month as well.
