Reno Area anybody?
Same here. Pretty much good anytime for weekend or weekday evenings.
After i finished the stuff with my Dad i went and drove to VC. It was amazing! The views is incredible! The road is amazing, but a little short. Really looking forward to going again.
I think i saw Gobagheera on the way up there... It was a white evo IX and it was just passing by.

We were up in VC from about 3-5pm. Too bad we missed you guys. It was a blast like always. God I love that road.
My intercooler hose blew off numerous occasions after upping the boost. T-bolts are your friend
I got mine from siliconeintakes.com. Great prices and fast shipping.
We should do a weekend night meet on the 25th. Should we do it at the Old town mall parking lot for old times sake?

Yeah, I have t-bolts on there already and they were fully tightened..this time I tightened untill it bottomed out, super tight.I'm also knocking the positive battery cover off from the swelling of the intercooler hose (just figured out why it keeps popping off) ...ever since I put the hose back on I'm getting tons of smoke going WOT...it is completely cleared up now but did everyone else get a similar issue right after blowing there hose off?I think it dumped a bunch of oil out of the turbo when the hose blew off.

Hey you guys, I blew my upper intercooler pipe off at the TB. Who ever has done this will vouch with me. One of the worst sounds you would ever want to hear under your hood; especially if you didn't know what really happened.
