On my front, I stripped my cylinder down and am bringing it to Gosh tomorrow. Going to be running a composite head gasket at the suggestion of Chad (Blackrosenova). This should take care of the coolant pushing I was experiencing last year... I hope.

Heck yeah dude! Run the composite Fel Pro! Works great with L19's as long as you detonate the crap out of it!

I will not be driving my Red Talon on the spring cruise as Shari wants to bring her Lancer.

Oh Psh Posh neither Talon is even operable.
It will be nice to have a window that rolls down anyway. I will be bringing my DSLR and hopefully will get some great shots without window glare.

Yea, shortblock had perfect compression. Also going to be trying a 2g head this time around, with an Evo 3 Intake Manifold.

Do it!

I will volunteer to bring up the rear if you need someone.

The GF is a bit terrified of the evo. She hasn't ridden in it yet and is already very worried. She gets nervous with my normal driving in the kizashi. I think she has been in a few accidents with shitty drivers making her nervous.

I'll take this as a compliment...thank you! I always tried to lead is fashion that is fast & fun, but still safe for the group and surrounding traffic. My record of almost a decade of leading cruises is [knock on wood] zero tickets & zero accidents for the entire group. Spaz spun once w/o damage or incident, but I'm pretty sure he could manage that pulling out of the garage.

Sounds good man, I always appreciate someone volunteering to run sweeper and help keep the pack together. I will give you the route info in advance so you have time to study it and have at least a basic understanding of our route.

Sounds good, I will review prior so I have a semi idea of what I am doing Knoxville has some radios to test too, maybe we could try having a lead car/rear car with radios or something. dunno

LOL!

I spun because I was trying to match your tempo in a POS DSM.

Harder? No. More safely? Yes. None of the incidents occurred until after I moved and stopped leading the cruises. They key is to push hard when you can, and ease up when you shouldn't. These are public roads with traffic, debris, etc., not closed-course race tracks.

I agree completely. I personally was pushing harder than I should have in a car that wasn't set up to keep up with Evos. I cooked the brakes trying to close the gaps that were opening in the straights. It was my fuck up and I'm super lucky that I spun where I did and not in a higher speed corner or closer to trees or other motorists.

BTW, I'm planning and leading a cruise for a group this year, so I'll get my piece of humble pie on how that goes. From the sound of it I'll learn a lot in doing so.
