thanks to everyone that came out. Too bad you weren't able to take out the s4 jonathan. The lay out we went was perfect. We went most modded first and stock in the back.

I think gmr is a better road to drive in the day time. There some areas, i think we would've lost it if we didn't see ahead of time, since it was day light.

MJ, has a lot of good video footage, mostly him dusting me on the straights..lol.

From the looks of it, that LSD really helped pete on the corners.

All in all it was good meet, i hope more people can make out it in the future.

GMR was very fun. We should do it again. The weather was great today. I'm happy with the way my car handled. I stopped part of the way down GMR for about 30 seconds and waited up for you guys because I was worried someone may have wiped out behind me. I think MJ should upgrade to ATE Super Blue brake fluid because his brakes felt like they were starting to fade. I'm going to have an alignment at TWS next.

Mike,

My bad. I think it was for the 204 that I saw on eBay. I think somebody in the 203 forum made one in Malaysia.

Maybe so.....LOL.....the whole modding scene is basically people copying others. Anyways, if it fits good and the price is right, I say buy it.

Definitely more fun. There's a certain rush factor when you're "riding the ridge" of the canyon rd, trying to avoid hitting bikers or the side of the mountain, rather than running over an orange cone. Next time, we'll pick on a location to meet again and take turns on who is the lead pace car.
