[COGCaviZ24]

Hell, I'm thinking of going with a 7' aluminum so I can atleast glide down to the road over the cliff next time lol

Personally assasinate me when you see this.......I'll even provide the glock

cool, the s/c is going in possibly next month, just gotta find a free weekend. if you wanna assist, lmk

[COGCaviZ24]

haha quoted the wrong post, oh well

[Bballjamal]

FOCK yes I'll assist you bum! I wish you would've just went with the snail though! I'm 10x better at tuning a car for a turbo. That charger you just slap on and get a re-flash, unless you want to go 1/2's on HPT with me and tune the HELL outta both the cars Lemme kno!

And sucks to whoever crashed! It's not all that fun, but you can't let it wreck your day.......

I was told that his was just comestic damage though, not ripping bumpers off and fucking up radiators and stuff...

I'm afraid that I'll end up with the same opinion about downhill as everyone else, I'd be afraid of taking my car past it's limits and understeer into something.

Just build up to a level where you feel comfortable taking your car downhill.

I went to the mountains by myself about three or four times before I went with a group. That way I could drive at a pace that i felt comfortable with, and gradually build up enough confidence to drive harder. I learned how long I can wait before braking, how my car will react to steering changes ect... NOw i can keep up with cars that SHOULD walk away from me in the twisties.

But I'm also a crazy mofo who gets sideways around every corner.

^^^ in a civic????

Ya that is right there are no curbs to hamper you going sideways up there...

[Bruce Leroy]

^^^ in a civic????

not extreme angle or anything, but i can get the back end to slide out going into a turn under hard braking.

(THats when i had gripper tires in the front that the back, now i riding stockies)

Why would you do that? The rear is more important than your front, when it comes to handling.

[~The_Duke~]

I have seen good drivers in tegs and civics and things of the like walk BMWs...

yeah, curbs are scary. who cares about those damn pedestrians, cars, motorcycles, animals and large dropoffs on the side of the road .

cuz i was broke.

But it was fun. Plus it kept me from going a little too fast.

Yep gotta watch thoce curbs..... especially when doing reverse donuts

Nothing more frightening than seeing a car all over the double yellow in a blind turn.

[HiPSI]

Nothing more frightening than seeing a ****** all over the double yellow in a blind turn.

insert any large object/animal into the ***** and you pretty much got it.

[GIXXERDK]

Second gear is perfect for 180

[Leadfoot_mf]

was up there on turkey day chasing bikes up and down blood mtn.....

thanks for the invite fag

[Leadfoot_mf]

I went last weekend and there were 2 bikes in a ravine. Puts a damper on things.....

only if u are one of the bikers.

[Leadfoot_mf]

Ahhh it's cool! The cavy handled the more aggresive roads damn good but I guess I took the cruise down into Helen lightly and it shoved a fist in my ass for it. Besides learning about that particular turn, i learned who all the egotistic asses are here on IA

Dominic and Paki were cool people though and I'd definately go again in a heartbeat

COG - Yessurrr! Got her for $111.17 from Riverdale radiator! Couldn't believe my ears and it's definately brand spankin new! She's been running now for 3 weeks though! Just 5-10sec start ups though. The valves haven't seated yet and you can hear a small ticking. Nothing major, hell, we even fixed the damn frame here at the house. Guess we should've opened that shop before giving up on it

not all i am sure.

u sound safe.

That's why we only run uphill and at night.

Uphill
Can see the road ahead
Can control your car a lot better

Night
Can see oncoming headlights well in advance
No traffic or pedestrians at 2AM

[Hiro]

Dang, me and Frank were up there on Friday night.

HAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHHA MOUNTAIN RUNS....yeah...

[Jecht]

Good point, running that late at night is definitely a better idea.

[Hiro]

Yeah, we definitely need to rent cabins next time.

[Ran]

Yeah, we definitely need to rent cabins next time.

Definitely. Get about 5-6 people and split the cost on a cabin. That way we can run all night and not have to worry about driving home.

thanks good luck with the car

I know a couple of people have been up there in the past 2 weeks...

I was there. Sorry you couldnt come, but you had better plans anyway, next time. Plan one up and Ill go for sure(on a sunday)

heres a video(the dude said he forgot to turn the sound on ):

its a bad video, he kept his distance for some reason...

Nice vid man. Would have been better with sound. You can also see why we go at night. During the day there is too much traffic and you gotta stick to your lane. Late at night (11PM+), there isn't any traffic (maybe 1 car every 30 mins) so you can use the whole road.

On the vid, at 4:15 you pass a small store on the right. There is a large parking lot that we use as an turn-around point. It's pretty much the top of the mountain and you start back downhill after that. Another good thing about that spot is that there is a spot around back where you can stand and watch others run down the mountain. Pretty cool to watch.

We're planning another run up there before long. If you want in, PM me and I'll toss you the details a few days before we go.
