BOXRPWR Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Joined some folks from the S2Ki.com board for a run through the hills outside Temecula where I live. They came up from San Diego. Man was it hot. Outside temp gauge showed 98F at start and 102F by 1 PM. Fortunately the pace was only about 75% max. Still, that's way too damned hot to push hard on a turbo'd car even with a FMIC. Went out West of the I-15 into the hill country. Wild roads. Basically 1.5 lanes wide so you're always wondering about oncoming traffic. Fortunately, very, very little traffic in general. Lots of crazy hills with steep up & down. The road surface got really crappy for several miles. Not good for a lowered ride like mine....and many of the S2000s. Found evidence of minor tire rub on all 4 tires. Nice people. Lots of couples. They probably got sunburned.

CasopoliS Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 sounds like fun. I love the S2K... I was minutes away from purchasing a supercharged one, then realized I could do nothing with the 2-seater and that winters would suck. So... the LGT was bought.

MiniStiGuy Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I'm on S2ki.com / net its both sites... lol My name is IT/SEALS.... they are cool guys on there and I've done track events before with them. Overall great group of guys with great knowledge and advice to give. If I didn't work for a Subaru dealership and have gotten a great price for my car then I would have gotten an S2k.

BOXRPWR Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 they were fun to run with. although those tiny roads kept speeds below 50 mph mostly. was on the bumper of one S2K went it just took off in front of me. kind of surprised me. I caught up and hung close for the next few miles. at the next rest stop I found out it was a supercharged S2000. nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsalicru Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Sorry I flaked on you Kev, when I sent you the link + invitation, I was thinking that my dad would have already left. He leaves tomorrow (not that I mind him staying longer.) "some say, his arms are made of coiled adamantium fibers. And that he tops his cereal with nuts and bolts. All we know is, he's called the Jose." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
