Ha, this happened to me a few weeks ago as well! Slid across the white line, almost low-sided then almost high-sided. Thankfully I had full leathers on but still made my butthole pucker up, oof never again. Stay safe out there guys!

I’d only want to do something involving turns late at night with no traffic, but it’s been getting colder at night. I slid the rear at xxx on the xxx a couple weeks ago and would rather avoid doing that again, lol.
First gear sends the front end up no matter what and most of the time in second, but its easier to manage. Hopefully we get some better weather before it really cools off

I don’t use protection… I have no traction control, no wheelie control, no abs, if that’s what you were referring to. Slipper clutch comes stock, along with a mediocre electronic stabilizer

Had some down time after yard work, so I went over to the shop and cleaned up a bit. First i started by putting my tools away, the cleaned the work benches off, worked my way over to the grinders and shop vac’ed metal shavings up. Pushed the wheeler out from in front of the car to the other bay to sweep up. Rolled up the air hose. Lined up my Jacks, jack stands, and ramps. Wrapped up some spot lights and extension cords. Filed my 2x4s along the walls. Punched my punching bag a couple times. Put a level on the bed of my truck to see if a 1 inch drop would level it. Checked the oil and trans fluid while I was there, both were spot on. Ate a granola bar and drank some iced tea. Looked to my right and that’s when I seen it. Then I climbed in the driver seat. Key on, fuel pressure -check. Park - check. Crank it. 30 psi oil pressure. Two pumps. Crank… Bpbpbpbpbpbbrvvvvvv. Quick scan of the gauges, everything is good. Turn ele water pump and fan on. Bring it up to 3k…then 5k… Then a burp to 7k. The dust was falling off the fenders. When u can feel the solid motor and trans mount holding the power to the fox body wanting to twist the car in half, flexing the suspension w every whack of the throttle. I climbed out, popped the hood and looked at the polished gem rumbling at a steady 750rpm idle. For something ive looked at for the last 13 years, she still has it. She sounded thirsty so I leaned in and grabbed the throttle linkage and with the slightest twitch of the wrist. It hit me again, Torque. It’s been to a lomg time since i heard the roar, felt the itch, had the urge… I closed the hood, reached in and turned the key back off. Soon enough ol girl, soon enough.
Jesus Christ this was the best thing I’ve read in a while

Seems like now that some cars are actually getting tuned, it will be more fun at the track.
I would like to see Jimbo and Fastmofo run.

You still have the stock rubber on this bike? Isn’t this a few years old by now?

It’s a 2012 but I bought it as a leftover in March. Have about 2700 miles on it. I haven’t had any issues with the S20s except that one night, and it was alittle chilly so the tires weren’t up to temp. If I don’t like the Q3s I may switch back. These would’ve lasted longer but for some reason I’ve had the desire to do heaters alot with this thing. Lol
I’m down for anything, I suck at launching but ohwell.

Hasn’t happened yet. We’ve both been busy. I believe i have the next few nights that I can make time tough.
Edit: Cruise night? That’d be neat.

That’d be a good race. Both 800 wheel and manuals.
I vote for track but if u both end up bumping into each other a 30-130 pull would be nice to see
