Erika took close to 500 pics on Sunday

This was a M car event, that they graciously let me crash. GREAT bunch of people, helped me out a lot and the drive was just straight fun. They got some video footage and will be putting out a professional video of some kind. Ill be sure to post when available!

After a lot of car drama... exhaust clamps popping off, running open cats, CEL's, dead battery, pulled over/lectured state troopers, I am pretty tired today.

But the car is back to running great, has a new battery, and it was an awesome drive!

I need to go look in to KW coilovers now.... and exhaust. Sheesh...

They are having another one on 2 April for the people that missed this one. I think I might go again though!

Sean, think what would happen if we installed KWs on our cars. I did learn on thing yesterday. The only weakness in my car is in the driver's seat.

We need to do the tail of the dragon.

dc5_champ88 · 03-14-2011, 01:20 PM

Come to think of it...that person is Lee/Larry! loll

Yup. KW's and upgraded sways (Our rear sway is tiny compared to a stock M car sway) and that road would be bliss.

You dont have the sport/premium packages? My seat was holding me pretty well and had my lumbar cranked...was squeezin on my spare tire

utfenix335i · 03-14-2011, 02:28 PM

Pics from my camera...

I had the sports seats holding me in too. Sway bars, dammit, why'd you remind me? That road was bliss too. I could tell Erika was having trouble taking pictures as we were going through the turns. Too bad I didn't have my g meter running on my iPhone. That would have been awesome to see how we were doing through the bends.

Uh Oh. What did I forget to tighten?

Adam, don't worry about it. It wasn't your doing. It was his Frankenexhaust.

Frankenexhaust is an appropriate description! I think it has six sleeve clamps vs. zero that it's supposed to have. That thing is sagging, leaking and just looks all around bad. After spending some time Saturday trying to get it to stop rattling, I thought he was good to go....for a while at least. On Sunday it fell off. Boy, was I wrong. In fairness, he did warn me that the car was cursed. Now I'm a believer!

The car mount cam that captured alot of the cruise footage.... There is more, and hes going to heavily edit, but this is the prelim stuff.. We did a couple tunnel runs where he set up on the end or just outside the tunnel inside the park... still waiting for that to be completed. Should sound amazing!

Hey Hey... take it easy. The cursed car doesnt need encouragement. Its just a attention whore thats all

I got some leads on used exhaust systems, but if you hear of anything locally hook me up and have it sent over to Adams garage
