i gotta say the 23mm rear sway bar and X brace worked wonders, definitely felt the difference I wasnt thrown around at all. And that Nitto Engine Damper its like push to go, pretty amazing. Tho i can hear what im assuming is the pulleys moving, sounds whinny in gear.

glad you had fun guys. I was with a customer well into the afternoon, couldn't have gotten there in time.

ezhacker, you are probably just hearing engine noise transmitted through the damper and the chassis.

Kioshi · 04-18-2010, 02:10 AM

it was nice meeting the new people.

Pur Blu: that cop came out of now where!! i saw you take the freeway, all good, we gotta lookout haha.

I wish the pics would have came out better, stupid lighting disrupted the pic quality.

jrjrdihn - probably the best Prius driver in California, does a great job of running through the mountain :)

Advocate - the run was good, i fell back. Taylor did a good job of being a clone of you ;)

GREAT turnout, "fmicle" came by for a little bit w/ his kid. Very nice custom boosted Yaris. Wish he could have came w/ us on the mountain cruise. Next time for sure.

NorCal Vitz/Vios owners are growing in size... :D!!

Looks like a fun meet. Sorry I couldn't make it. Next one...

Kioshi · 04-18-2010, 03:48 AM

Yeah, we had 3 sedans show up, thats a FIRST.

Also, I want to thank ezhacker1 aka Jonathan for being skillful at removal of interior parts.
And I'd like to thank Taylor for swapping some parts out me~

each meet I get something off of Taylor's Hatchback S. My car is slowly being more S like in the inside.

I'd like to think that i was skillful (or lucky) that i corrected for that crazy understeer/slide with the gravel that Taylor kicked up on that sheer cliff section. Im sure i scared Alex....

Did your back end kick out? Surely it wasn't your ABS doing its job

I guess we are even~ You missed my offroading last time and i missed your skid.

ezhacker1 · 04-18-2010, 01:43 PM

No it was not a bad end kicking out, it was a front wheels just had no traction when it hit the gravel. Tho at one part before that my back end did kick out which was rather cool, cuz the worse thing that could have happened there was hit dirt not fly off a cliff... I guess we are even as well, too bad my camera mount broke couldnt film the drive and missed your off road adventure last time.
