Wait, we were supposed to be driving fast?   Todd thanks for the ride to my ride. Rob thanks for the ride in your ride. Chet thanks for letting me hoon and the lift home. And a big thanks to those that put in the time and effort to make this happen. This was another great outing with awesome...

Gardiner rest stop exit 51 ~7 AM?

If you have a spare seat we could just meet at my place, it's on water street, and just synchronize with my friend en route after Waterville. Otherwise I can meet you guys over in Randolph and we can meet him in Waterville at his shop, we should probably add 15 minutes for that.

IIRC their spec is 112 ft/lbs or something like that. Add me to the list that thinks they under rather than over tightened it. I'd be shocked if you can't nab one from the dealer. I should have some if they need to be ordered.

Wow, snuck right up on me. I need to double check that I can bail on my prior obligations and head up, but if so I'm heading up from Gardiner and meeting up with another friend in Waterville. We'd welcome another friendly face on our journey northward.

Good, the more cars produced that are actually worth driving the better.

I drove mine for 4 winters and you'd never know it. Wash it the day of the storm, and then again once the roads are clean was my strategy.

Functioning front struts help the cause.

What'd you end up running in the rally car? We've been running the mobil turbo diesel stuff in the endurance cars with good results, but should prob do an oil analysis at some point.

If you think you love it now just wait for some snow.

Congrats on making this happen Dan!

Alignment makes a huge difference too. Some caster and camber up front can work wonders (on tarmac at least). Delayed and over correction are issues when a car has a tendency to oversteer even if the driver is paying attention. A driver that isn't accustomed to dealing with oversteer will often...

30 and a reach around.

The ability to get 30+mpg is pretty sweet as well. Everything I've heard points to it being a very respectable DD.

Driver preference comes into play as well. There's a range where a car will be fast, and simply setting the car up where the driver is more comfortable will yield the best results. I'll agree with the 19mm votes. If you're here asking the question it's likely best to start small, and start to...

IIRC when I talked to a friend (auto-xer) after he got his FRS even with the traction control on the car is pretty playful and when it's switched to "off" the car gives you plenty of rope to hang yourself with.

I don't know he got beat by a mustang. J/K Very nice showing.

I think you get it.

Just to clarify raw includes cones, etc. Pax is really only "useful" if you're comparing well prepped cars.
