Roshon is the shizzle, or so I hear from everyone I've talked to about him. GoEVOGo I get my 100 octane from the same 76 station on Pico/Barrington. This is crazy that there are this many EVO's in this area, and I've yet to see any of you, but NRG (a couple times now) and Chrison (parked). Oh well, I'm sure we'll run into each other eventually

Yeah, I always get gas at pico barrington... where is everyone?

Car goes in today! Hope it comes back in one piece. So far they have taken care of me with the intercooler and having a dyno is a good thing!

Hi everyone,

The Renault R5 Turbo is being restored right now (almost done).....80's French workmanship/parts weren't top notch. I was driving down Santa Monica Blvd. in BH one day and some kids yelled "fire"........ I was so surprised that I couldn't locate the fire extinguisher (all R5 owners have these in the car - and I have one in the EVO trunk). Anyway, BHPD and FD worked fast though. EVO, of course is a much faster car, but driving the R5 was loads of fun because it is very tossable (but talk about turbo lllllaaaaaagggggggg).

I've attached a photo of the R5. (Hope it loads correctly)

The 76 station on San Vicente in Brentwood (at the end of Bundy?) also has 100 octane, I remember it was 50 cents cheaper than the Pico-Barrington station.

For people with Nihon fetish, places on Sawtelle near Olympic seems pretty happening. I am way too old for such activities.

Cheers.

Whoa. I'm pretty close to Pico/Barrington. I didn't know they had such high octane. I guess I'm gonna have to gas up the Evo there from now on
