Ya I don't remember that one either. Probably a nice snag though if it was stored there.

I may not make it down unless I ride with my subaru buddies.. Hopefully it doesn't come to that lol.

Dude was the original owner from day 1 back in 2003. He was a doctor from Pittsburgh. He barely put 5k on it a year. When I got it, it was 5 years old and had 24k on it. Car was basically stock. I bought it back in 2008. I keep it nestled away in northwestern PA now, but occasionally take scenic drives though DuBois.

That's awesome, I wonder what he has stored in there now.

Pff, I'd avoid this place if I could lol. 120 from Lock Haven east is a pretty nice loop if you ever go that way. I just hop on 80 for the return trip though. Not much traffic and some nice valley scenery.

As much as I wish I could participate in your bromance session at TPG, I'm planning to go to the track Saturday.

You can have all the high dyno numbers you want, but if your cars driveability sucks when you're not going WOT, who cares about numbers !

My car was terrible on cold start and also would die when coasting to a stop, or going from in gear to neutral. i also was getting about 13mpg on 93 oct. it's not just "the nature of the beast". My car now drives, starts and runs like a completely stock evo and I am getting around 17-18mpg.

all it took was a little driving on the street. Can't really simulate that on a dyno

After nate does the tuning on the dyno he goes out on the street with you and does some street tuning to take care of all driveability issuea like you mentioned. Nothing but good thinga to say about those guys.
