I have a cutting wheel. We can get crazy with your springs j/k j/k

No really, you need help installing them? I'm really wanting to rip into some Lexus suspension. I have to wait 2 weeks still for my coilovers to come.

Not good but you can blame a lot of factors..maybe other 350 owners can chime in.

My car is all stock (X-package). I have those 5 spokes 18" with very little thread (perhaps 20% left). I was on S-automanual mode w/o PWR Mode and I shifted on every redline. I assume torque brake is... step on brakes and rev up & launch? If that's the case, yes I did that about 1500rpm then launched. Sunday was a little cold sprinkling at times. 1st run i shifted with paddles, then 2nd run I shifted with stick. My buddy had a Honda Del Sol (w/ B18 Vtech) and ran 14.5... a tick faster than me...

Yeah, u gotta put it in D (no PWR mode) and just stomp on the gas (or u can brake torque). Also it helps to remove ur spare, have a .25 of gas in the tank, lower the psi on the rears.

As mentioned before, having a meet with a bunch of Mitsu guys tonight at Joe Senser's in Roseville @ 730. We will be inside enjoying the Wing and Beer specials. Everyone talks about wanting to have meets on here, but no one ever seems to show up for anything.

Yup exactly. Seems people act interested until something actually happens then they all hide. Which Subaru guys you know? I only know a couple. I know Emily (extremely skinny girl). Also Shawn Wickam, he's building an older impreza, also owns an Evo. I knew Bee a few years ago through friends, but don't really see her ever anymore. Also I know "Red". Goodhart used to be a Subaru guy, but now has an Evo.
Shane was talking to me about one they have up at DB right now, gunna help him put a scope to it to look at some of the crank/cam triggers. No idea who's that is.

I'm out of the metro but would come up for a meet or something if I could work it into the schedule, I'll have to keep an eye on this section now that the weather is getting nice.
