i did almost kill Addictive a few times when we drove together (almost rear ended him twice) but that's because I'm stupid.

oh, it would be so awsome if I could drool over the turbo once more. I make a prediction...If Fanman comes, I'm sure everyone else will show up. Malibu, and the chance to hear the turbo...damn, I got to go clean my shorts now. Just thinking about the turbo (oops, there it goes again), make me really happy.

Fanman. I'm serious about this, I will buy you an order of fish n chips at Neptunes if you come (in small print......soda not included). I would love to sit in the passenger seat to experience the whoose of the blow off valve from the inside of the car if there is any chance of that????

Honda...I'm glad to hear that you'll make it.

Oh, well, kinda. More like Big Bear after smoking a whole bunch of crack. You'll definately be so much more excited about your car after this weekend. Any now I'll finally have someone else to try and convince the others in the San bernardino thread to come.

Did you ever go on a ride along at the autocross? If not, you have to do that once also..what a rush.

Hey, pm me if you don't already have my cell number....in case your running late, or are getting anxious if I'm late to meet you at 9:00.

Xped....you ever get your pipe. I'm hoping that I have better luck with Fedex...it was Fedex that flaked on you right...saying that you would get your pipe, but then it never came on the expected elivery date. I'm waiting for something too, from Fedex...its supposed to arrive at my door on the 5th (tomorrow....). That, the prospect of seeing/hearing the turbo, and our Sunday meet, I don't think I'm gonna be able to sleep.

I got my midpipe 5 days late... When I tried to install it I noticed one of the studs was bent and wouldn't line up correctly with the borla exhaust so I drilled both studs out and just used regular bolts with out welding it back on to the midpipe. If thats not enough after I installed it and started up the car, BIG exhaust leak. The donut gasket didn't couple up with the exhaust, I would say 1/8" gap. So I went to the mazda dealership and got a header-cat gasket and slipped it behind the donut gasket so it would reach the exhaust. Finally no exhaust leak, anyways it good to have the extra top end power again.

Sorry, unfortunately I won't be able to make it I'm still adding a few things onto my car that still need to be a bit more thought out/tuned. I really miss the drive though. That was so much fun. Looking to have it done soon though.

Haha, looks like everyone is getting their cars ready for tomorrow:

-You just washed, waxed, and polished (what did you use on it?)
-Lesper4 was talking about how he washed and waxed his last night
- And I'm in between coats of Zaino right now! (first time using the stuff and I must say I'm pretty impressed)

I'll have to remember to bring my digital camera tomorrow...

Alright I think I'm convinced. Expect to see me there tomorrow. Now, do we end up back at the gas station or do we just end down in Malibu? Also, how long does everything typically last?

Damn, I would have loved to have seen that RB intake in person. (have yet to see one installed)
I'm waiting to put some more miles on my car before I buy buy the RB exhaust and Intake. (I'll probably just treat myself for X-mas )

Soblazin: I think some of the LAX people ARE going. Doesn't Rotary Rasp or Razz1 usually make this cruise?

I'm gonna be SO freakin' tired tomorrow morning: Been zaino'ing my car all day (last coat of Z2 is on there as we speak) and I'm supposed to be having dinner in Long Beach in an hour!
Guess I'll be finishing up my car late tonight.

Oh well, I think it'll be completely worth it to finally meet all of you and have some good fun tomorrow.
