haha it was 30+*C last year when I was in algonquin, didnt rain at all.
BUT, the year before it was around freezing and it snowed...soooo...
:biggrin:
It would be sweet if you could make it out though. I'm working on a helmet right now...

[soloecho2]

The more the merrier. Try Royal Distrubuting.

[Bluevitz-rs]

I have one you can borrow if you can't find one. It's an HJC size M or L, can't remember.

Thanks dude, I'll keep that in mind. Any chance you'll come by or participate?

[Bluevitz-rs]

depends on the job situation, but I'll probably be out to watch at least.

[johnny_vitz]

Well...i got a helmet. :burnrubber:
I was on the site but there doesn't seem to be a place to pre-register yet

[soloecho2]

It should be under the Registration tab ? Looking forward to seeing you there. They do have a deal right now. Pay for 4 days get the fifth for free.

[johnny_vitz]

Hmm...i'll check it out! Do they always run the same direction (counterclockwise)?
I figure they must since that would be what the times are based on...but just a guess.
Will you be signing up for 5? :-O

[soloecho2]

I wish I could. Saving for the coilovers, tires and rims. But I do plan to go to all 5. They are less crowded.

[johnny_vitz]

What coilovers/rims/tires you going to get?
Theres a nice set of rota's on kijiji right now with yoko advan ad08's on them
Wants $950 though

[soloecho2]

Re finishing my rims, 195 50 15 star specs and tien coil overs with pillow mounts.

[johnny_vitz]

basic or ss teins? New?

[soloecho2]

Tien SS-P used. Remember I'm married with kids !

[thebarber]

Tien SS-P used. Remember I'm married with kids !

i dig that

i scour kijiji, jdmrides.ca, and torontocivics.com for used wheels/tires

[johnny_vitz]

Tien SS-P used. Remember I'm married with kids !

I know! I buy lots of parts used :biggrin:
I was just going to say don't bother with basics...I don't like them all that much.

[soloecho2]

Thanks for the heads up.

[Bluevitz-rs]

You'd be better off going with some Koni's and use the springs you have now.

[soloecho2]

Really ??? Why would you say that ?? To stiff ?? Bad quality ?? Talk to me I am very interested in getting the best bang for my buck.

[Bluevitz-rs]

I think it's the lack of rebound adjustment. They're just fixed rate.

[soloecho2]

According to what I read they have 16 positions that adjust compression and rebound together.

[johnny_vitz]

That's the reason I dislike mine, they're great driving around town but pretty soft for track use. No adjustability :mad:
Did you pick up the teins?

[soloecho2]

Yes I did. Right after I did the o2 sensor took a crap. I hope to install them in late April early May. I'll also be getting the toyo r1rs or the star specs. Anyone have a preference ??

[johnny_vitz]

I like my toyo's (ra-1)...but hear good things about the star spec's too.
Make sure you get a good alignment once the coilovers go in! You may want to consider adding camber adjustment bolts in the front while the struts are out anyways.

Btw, have you registered for may 22? I tried again today but paypal rejected me lol apparently I need to verify with a bank account...:rolleyes:

[soloecho2]

Yes and no. They have me down for the 22nd but I am saving the pay for 4 and get the 5th free.

[soloecho2]

So aside from Johnny any one coming out ??

[thebarber]

no time, sorry

[johnny_vitz]

I just registered! Might have Rob coming out too, still not sure.

[soloecho2]

Whu Who. The Blue Wave rides again.

[johnny_vitz]

:biggrin: awwwww yeeaaaa

[soloecho2]

Track day #3 is now history. The car is once again holding up well. Had to do the brakes when I got home. I really think on this track even with only 100 HP I need a LSD. I am having issues when going uphill though the twisties. Any ideas ? Whos comming out for August ? Pics are posted on Sigmas Web page from May and June. Their Facebook page has some from July.

[Bluevitz-rs]

Have you done you clutch yet?

[soloecho2]

No the clutch is still holding well. Its not slipping. I know this because when I step on the gas the RPMs and Speed are still going up together.

[Viperoni]

Johnny looks like they got you going off around 1:32:

[johnny_vitz]

That wasn't even the bad one...:biggrin:

[Viperoni]

You went off twice? Shens lol

In related news, I've already registered for the August 21st date, can't wait :)

[johnny_vitz]

Racing + rain = oops

[Viperoni]

Racing + rain = oops

Forgot about the rain, that'll do it every time!

Crossing my fingers for sunny skies and 25c with humidity highs for the 21st :)

Can we start a list or a new "Official" kind of Thread to who is signed up for Sigma events and we'll just keep it rolling as new events start up. Or you can combine Sigma and Touge just so everyone who's going or thinking about going can see who'll be there.

Considering the last event in Sept? There's 15 spots left :eek:

[Bluevitz-rs]

I am but I don't wanna go alone. Te-he.

Also have to figure out why my car keeps flashing the CEL when I go WOT running through the gears.

[soloecho2]

I will be there so you won't be alone. Isn't the flashing CEL a miss at full throttle ?

[Bluevitz-rs]

yeah, if I run the car from a stop at full throttle shifting at 6K through to 5th the CEL will start to flash indicating it's running lean and burning the cat.

[soloecho2]

So the Sept. date is full. Did anyone else sign up ??

[johnny_vitz]

Wow...I wish I had before I left on friday but I had no time...didn't want to do it at work.
I'm a no :(

[thebarber]

anyone want/need some r-comps on oem yaris steelies? (205-60-14, iirc) 2 r888's and 2 ra1's
