My mother, lol.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring cruise -April 12-13, 2008
 

I think that was my favorite part of the whole thing. Just the amount of us rolling down the roads. We got so many dirty looks from other motorists. lol

Re: MitsuStyle Spring cruise -April 12-13, 2008
 

The one time I looked I think I was at 115 when I let off. Every other time I just laid into it and watched the road. :)

Anna is the queen of car sickness, but she did not get sick at all the entire trip, even on Sunday when I opened it up a little through the twisties and several WOT runs. Normally she gets sick *instantly* whenever I step on the gas, brakes, or turn the wheel :) I attribute this to the smoothness of my driving, enabled by my new alky kit (it is waaaay smoother than old one), new front motor mount, and and fresh alignment and wheel balance. The car felt like it could just go and go and go! Next step, MR bilsteins and eibach pro-kit? :) :) :)

PS--I averaged 26MPG on this trip ;)

Re: MitsuStyle Spring cruise -April 12-13, 2008
 

I used 13gals for the trip

Re: MitsuStyle Spring cruise -April 12-13, 2008
 

First fill up (top off) I got 35 mpg and then when I filled up on day 2, I got 31 mpg. Not bad and I had some fun too.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring cruise -April 12-13, 2008
 

I burned a lot of gas :)

Re: MitsuStyle Spring cruise -April 12-13, 2008
 

I had a great time, besides the hangover on Sunday. Cheap liquor FTW.

I don't think I got above 100, didn't get on it very much the whole way.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring cruise -April 12-13, 2008
 

I'm not sure exactle how fast I got up to because appearantly my spedo reads low. I did get up to roughly 7000 rpm in 5th gear though. I'm so excited for the fall cruise! Hopefully the weather will co-operate enough one of these times so I can take my bike! I've wanted to for the last 3 cruises, and the weather just has not worked out.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring cruise -April 12-13, 2008
 

i have another (somewhat small) damage report from the cruise.

after the car wash, peter and i were coming home up 61. we stopped for food and on our way out i noticed that my left side windsheild trim had been popped out. it had never happened before. i snapped it back in and thought it would hold. last night while driving down the freeway, it got caught in the wind and was ripped back, bending the metal and ripping the rubber. ugh.

i know my damage isnt anything near rosey's or 311evo's but it still kinda sucks.

Shenanigans!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring cruise -April 12-13, 2008
 

So thats why you had red tape on it this morning!

When spray-detailing my car last night I noticed my front bumper squeaking so it looks like hitting that pheasant broke a clip or something inside my bumper.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring cruise -April 12-13, 2008
 

yeah, i just taped it down. wish i could say its some cool jdm mod, but nope... just tape haha.

sucks about your bumper too. we both got dinged up.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring cruise -April 12-13, 2008
 

I think I averaged 3 gallons per mile. Oh well.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring cruise -April 12-13, 2008
 

just like my taped down side marker that keep falling out. I should fix that today and buff all the tire rubber marks off it

Re: MitsuStyle Spring cruise -April 12-13, 2008
 

so thats what it was. when we were driving i yelled "whats hangin off your car?" and you just shruged... LOL

Re: MitsuStyle Spring cruise -April 12-13, 2008
 

You were there?

Re: MitsuStyle Spring cruise -April 12-13, 2008
 

Any change you can post the route you guys took? I am kind of curious.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring cruise -April 12-13, 2008
 

my car runs again only took 2 days after I got parts. For shame those of you that said you couldn't get you cars running in time

Re: MitsuStyle Spring cruise -April 12-13, 2008
 

Holy shit! Did you end up pulling the motor, or just swapping out the crank with the block still in the car, head still on top?

Re: MitsuStyle Spring cruise -April 12-13, 2008
 

HAHA awesome!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring cruise -April 12-13, 2008
 

left the block in the car and pulled the tranny out, head stay'd on. would of taken a day longer but my father started early yesterday to help me out.
