Not much opportunity the last half because we were constantly being tailed. But the first bit Cam was driving in typical Cam fashion

Re: MitsuStyle Spring Cruise 2014 - May 10/11th - New Glarus, WI
 

My bike averaged about 41mpg on the way there and about 44mpg on the highway on the way home

Re: MitsuStyle Spring Cruise 2014 - May 10/11th - New Glarus, WI
 

I averaged around 20 on the way there, 24 on the drive back. I totally could have gotten back home on a single tank, too. 13 gallons on the return trip.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring Cruise 2014 - May 10/11th - New Glarus, WI
 

Why the fok are you guys bragging about MPG? :P My I think beaterX did ~18mpg and while it couldn't quite keep up with Kevin's SV1000 it left our favorite racing dentist looking at the rear bumper! One minor breakdown, blew off a silicone coupler on the UICP. I think the one that's on there got too hot from being near the exhaust manifold and is weakened or something. Either that or I have a loose front motor mount, meh. 5-minute fix and we were back on the road!

650+ miles for the weekend and other than the above the car is running like a top. Just love cruising in this thing with all you guys!

We had a freaking blast touring the breweries; I'm SO glad we made the push to go extra far. New Glarus is just spectacular; their new facility is redonk and Wisconson Brewing Co was mindblowing. Best brewery tour I've ever been on.

Thanks to everyone for coming and thanks to everyone that pitched in to help put this together!

Want to help with the next cruise? Speak up now, we could use a hand!

Pics coming soon.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring Cruise 2014 - May 10/11th - New Glarus, WI
 

^ couldn't agree more! Both facilities were very nice and I'm glad I finally got to see New Glarus!

On a side note, I averaged 27 on the way there and 31
(going mostly 80...) on the way home! That is based off miles and gallons filled, not the in car computer, which agreed.

The car felt awesome on this cruise. Very composed at speed, and very comfortable

Re: MitsuStyle Spring Cruise 2014 - May 10/11th - New Glarus, WI
 

we actually averaged 36 on the way home :)
and the little neon was very un-composed above 120
I literally thought we blew a tire on that one road that was a bit un even.
but no issues other than that!!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring Cruise 2014 - May 10/11th - New Glarus, WI
 

In contrast to Cam, the IX was great at speed, even with a COMPLETELY OPEN center diff.

And Scheides, I'm bragging about MPG because after this cruise, I'm so happy that I'm back to pump gas. E is fun, but about the furthest thing from convenience.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring Cruise 2014 - May 10/11th - New Glarus, WI
 

Racecar doesn't equal convenient.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring Cruise 2014 - May 10/11th - New Glarus, WI
 

Leaning more towards alky injection then? That was always a nice plus :D

Re: MitsuStyle Spring Cruise 2014 - May 10/11th - New Glarus, WI
 

He is leaning more towards being lame apparently :P

Re: MitsuStyle Spring Cruise 2014 - May 10/11th - New Glarus, WI
 

Interesting on the E being "inconvenient". Besides having to fill up more often, it doesn't bother me. And honestly, around my house in Blaine it seems like every damn station is adding E85, i have a lot of stations near by with them. Seems convenient enough for the perks.

Man up spaz!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring Cruise 2014 - May 10/11th - New Glarus, WI
 

LOL the last cruise with my old Evo I averaged 8.9 mpg on e85. :D

Any good frum roll action? I will be on the fall cruise for sure, probabaly not driving, but I will be there!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring Cruise 2014 - May 10/11th - New Glarus, WI
 

Frum rolls... Ummm... I was faster than Cam's mom's SRT-4. :lol:

Re: MitsuStyle Spring Cruise 2014 - May 10/11th - New Glarus, WI
 

I only frum rolled with Scheides. I couldn't tell when he let off, but every time I let off he was nowhere to be seen. I hung back when he and Brandon rolled and I was able to catch both of them.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring Cruise 2014 - May 10/11th - New Glarus, WI
 

You pulled about a bike and a half on me to the top of fourth (55mph) so I let off. Boosting in 5th just breaks stuff and gets too dangerous :P

Re: MitsuStyle Spring Cruise 2014 - May 10/11th - New Glarus, WI
 

5th gear boost = yucky on evo x.

Good call.
