Suggested route for fall foliage run? Or if no specifics, what types of roads and what areas (highways, backroad twisties, cruising etc.)? Is there a dedicated thread for the Fall foliage run?

FWIW, my 2006 EVO IX SE w/ 45k is for sale if anyone is interested....PM me, haven't started a thread on it yet. thx.

 

Here is the thread from the last year or two. Jkaky's name is Jake hes the OP and could update the first post with details. Might be a good idea to use the same one since Im sure many people are subscribed to that thread already.

CT New England Foliage Run

 

Good idea. Also, seeing as im not really from here(im NAVY) i dont really know the area very well. From my understanding, it's usually a very scenic route, so im gonna need some of the locals help with finding a route....

 

 

that's what i like to see! good job kevin! :-D

 

Im not to fond of the last photo I edited but that is ok. Thanks Ken, I know it was a while but I delivered just like I said I would.

 

Alright so I'm in China right now- what am I missing? Hopefully you guys haven't gone on your annual foiliage run yet?

 

no, havent missed much. we're planning the foliage run for the 23rd of october.

Its free to participate, you just need to reserve your own cabin... And we'll probably have fireworks to light off while we are partying @ the cabins...

My girlfriend & I will be taking her RSX, my buddy tom will have his lotus exige if the weather is decent (His Speed6 if its not), Dave will probably bring his STi, and there's about 15-17 other cars going as of right now... Its a great way to do something car stuff, and bring the significant other with you for a nice getaway (Or a good friend to have a blast NoHomo)... lol

 

cool! where abouts in china? i havent been to china in 4 years. the food is awesome out there.

 

Yep! We did the second foliage run this morning!

 

^In a Jeep lol, Did you end up BBQ'ing today or not?

 

thanks for inviting me to a freaking barbeque! wtf!?

What: A party... DUH...
Who: A whole bunch of people... (FYI, quite a few Subaru people, so play nice!)
Why: Why the hell not..

Rules of my parties:

21+ to drink... If you aren't 21, PM me and we'll talk.
BYOB.. May want to bring a cooler as well.. My fridge fills up fast at parties..
The grill will be operational.. Feel free to bring food if you want, as it will be appreciated, but don't feel obligated... Its a BYOF type thing..
If you have them, bring yourself a chair.. I've got about 10-12 chairs, but if you don't want to end up like snowman and sitting on a collapsible cooler, bring a chair..

The firepit will be going all night as well...

Just let me know if you plan on coming out..

 

Has anyone close to Enfield gone through the trouble to make a $5 boost leak tester, and wouldn't mind helping me troubleshoot my Evo?

In the ongoing saga of my futile quest for a couple of Rookie championship jackets in autocrossing, my car is now messed up again. I have decided that the noise my suspension is making is the bushings at the tops of the strut towers (non-issue), however a new problem presented itself. On Sunday my Evo decided to go way down on power in the middle of the day. I originally thought the wastegate was stuck open, but I am actually making more boost than I thought, ~7 psi. I am now thinking I may have a significant leak, but I don't have time to make my own tester before the next points event on Sunday and time to test the car. I am pretty confident I'm not going to have the car sorted in time to run it on Sunday, and I don't really want to race the car not knowing what is wrong with it anyways.

The car runs fine at idle and the drive home from Devens it performed normally except for being way down on power. No idiot lights or codes are present, and nothing seems obviously out of place.

As always, thanks for reading.
