anyone wanna try to put up with the cold and make it out there? looks like people will still be going, and i haven't had any greasy hot dogs in a while so i might try to swing by.

Don't know if I have anything going on to stop me but I'll try to make it if possible.

the cold won't stop me, but school and work might. I'll play it by ear

hey Randy, you up for riding down? We can brave the cold.

sounds good to me

Werd. Let me be fa knowin.

I hope all the Shiot is done on my car and I will be able to drive it there.. Still won't be able to boost yet because of the newness.. Gotta break the turbo in good and strong. Gotta wait 600 miles..

the whole turbo break-in thing is a myth. as long as there's warm oil flowing through there then it's happy.

same for breaking in motorbikes....or at least that's what i'm going by. i don't think zipping through the mountains around 9-12k on a week old >500miles bike is exactly following break in procedure, but she still runs like a champ.***

not to turn this into a tech article, but engine break-in is far different from the mythical turbo break-in. turbo bearings, like the bearings in the bottom end of the engine are designed to ride on oil, not metal to metal. metal to metal happens in the absence of oil, so as long as you have oil pressure in these regions the bearings are doing their jobs. engine break in is to wear the rings to the cylinder walls, which is a metal to metal area of contact.

noted.

oh and back on topic....

as usual i will not be there. i was lucky to get home on the tires that were on the car after the expo, and riding the bike that far on the superslab in the cold is just out of the question.
