Now i'm not going to preach about the dangers of speeding on windy, two lane (one lane each way) roads, since i've done just that in high school. After seeing two of my friends flip and roll, i think i've just calmed.
Jason, if you'd like to lead and go as fast as you want, feel free to do so. For the most part, if there is no construction and we're not stuck behind a slow moving vehicle, we can easily maintain 45-65mph through most of ortega. I'll probably be the only fit there with no real mods to aid in handling so i'll stay in the back if people want...although i do enjoy body roll.

OK 9am at starbucks by Ortega and I5. Hopefully i'll be on time...but ya'll know how 5south can be sometimes.

Lastly: Since I dont plan on getting anything done on my car, i'll lend a hand to anyone who needs it and learn how to do things with the fit at the same time. I'll also take plenty of photos (and i'll blur out plates when editing). =)

 

GOOOOOOOOOOD LUCK! you will have almost no space to drive spirited. Either slow cars or motorcycles on it. I have tried so damn hard to get it where there isn't atleast one slow person infront of me.....no dice.

But if you do get a patch where you can, just be careful! also, when you are going through the little "towns" up there, they have speed traps....so abide by the speed limits there or i guarantee you will get popped and not let off.

 

good point ^^^^

 

okay, dont worry. I dont plan on running the entire canyon, like i said i just wanna try out a few turns and see what the car can do, thanks for the headsup on the speed traps. Oh btw, we should 3 way on the phone to look out for cops

Oh and is there an address to the meet-up place because i dont head down there much

 

first one is illegal....sheesh.

and if you are referring to meeting at Costco at 10 am, 29315 Central Ave
Lake Elsinore, CA 92532

 

noo it's illegal for under 18ers but it's legal if you use handsfree/speakerphone.

Well the costco meetup we should get the address of but also the meetup for the Ortega run up there

 

also, if you are talking about the meet spot at the beginning of the Ortega...take the 5 south and exit the 74 Ortega. Make a left and i think the starbucks is on the left. not tooo sure

added the costco addy to the initial post.

 

nope. thats wrong. using a cell phone its illegal for everyone unless it is hands free. they are soon going to make texting illegal while driving too. it would've made sense to ban that first.

 

hahaha we'll see. I know you guys just want me to install your crap. hahaha jk. ill do my best to make it out there or procrastinate until sunday all together. haha

 

illegal for drivers under 18

over 18 - handsfree/speakerphone

texting while driving ban has been passed

 

Not to stay too far off topic, but the ban has been passed but i believe it is effective Jan 1, 2009. I could be wrong though

 

any of the fits in garden grove/ westminster/ 714 area wanna caravan to that place? i know fitzee you live near me

i dont like driving alone

 

Sure man I don't mind a caravan. Only thing is I am not sure what time I will be going yet. All I know is I have to leave by noon. I should know by tonight or early tomorrow morning. I'll shoot you a PM.

 

I'll bring some Ice Tea's. They seemed to be the shiite when I brought them to the Fit BBQ early this year. Yeah I plan to eat BTW.

 

Il get the address for you Jason later tonight

 

Dang, wish I could join up with you guys again, but I'm heading out riding quads at Hungry Valley with some friends.
As for Ortega, if you want to run it, show up Sunday mornings before 8am and watch out for really fast bikes (Don't ask how I know....) and don't ever cross the yellow lines in the corners! But if there's been a crash recently, CHP will be hiding ALL over-especially at Nichols, Riverside county line, near the candy store, at the top of the carousel, entering Caruso Village and at the top of the divide. But it sure can be a fun road when it's empty!

Have fun wrenching!

 

Just found out I can attend this too so I am up for a cruise to Dan's house.

And does anyone want to buy my bixenon hid 6k and trade me for their headlight bulbs? We can install it at the meet.

 

seats?

 

Umiekun, is it true that the HIDs on halogen housings dont really give good output and also the aim isnt like halogen anymore?

Well i cant say that for all kits because they vary, but how are yours?

 

quanto pide por los HIDs

yo soy Dan el mucho gusto hombre.
