That isn't a bad idea. A little on the shorter side for a "cruise" though. Can always take a scenic route though.

I was coming down from Bear Mountain today and got to the bottom of the hill starting onto the freeway and noticed my car was at 500 RPM in 4th gear at 60mph. Tried to reselect a gear and there is no connection between the motor and rear wheels. Didn't hear a pop/bang/boom nothing. Towed to over to a shop and I guess I'll find out what gave way tomorrow.

Sad times.

Oh no!

I'm down for this! How bout next Sunday?

[Ruddigger]

Any given Sunday.

[Manberg]

On Topic: I'm down for the following Sunday 1/24/16. I'll be busy this weekend working and working around the house.

Semi-On Topic: Also very short notice, but there is a JDM meet tonight 8-10pm that I'm thinking about going to. https://www.facebook.com/events/510787525765430/

Otaku Thursday Returns THIS WEEK. This is the First OT of the year and as such we want to make it big. invite all your fellow Otaku or JDM fan friends.

And for the Euro Meet on 1/20/16 thats the same time 8-10pm They changed the date because of rain on the 7th.https://www.facebook.com/events/1696937903880344/

We welcome back Euro Wednesday next week on the 7th. As its the first show of the year we hope to make it a big one so befure to invite your friends and spread the word. We hope to see everyone there!

Off Topic: Tale of the tape seems to be that I was in gear, engine braking, too much. And as the clutch was most likely on its way out to begin with it was probably struggling to hold the car vs gravity for that long. So I finally moved it out of gear and that was the last shift it was willing to do.

Should have free rolled and just had no brakes and warped rotors instead?
Oh well, live and learn. First time owning a manual car and first time coming down a mountain in one.

[Ruddigger]

So, you think it just needs a new clutch? You gonna fix it yourself?

I'm down next Sunday so the 24th ? And what time I work in the after noon at 4 idk what time you guys want to do it .

[Kevv90]

Hope you get it fixed manberg . Badass if you do the work lmao

[TheRealMccoy24]

Hitting up Cars and Coffee tomorrow (1/16) if anyone wants do a cruise after that let me know! Titanium Silver 335i in the lot, usually parked next to a clean B7 RS4.

[vicmd21]

I'll step up and plan something for next Sunday if no one else will. Might need route help since I'm not from here lol

[Manberg]

Have to work tomorrow morning, so thats no go on tomorrows C&C for me.

That JDM meet left a lot to be desired but I didn't expect much more out of a JDM meet haha. A few GTRs, a RHD r34, Ferrari 360, M4, Alfa 4c, R8, some Benzs', few Targa Trophy guys, to name a few. There was a lot more that were strait out of the junkyard, neon lights, running on 3 cylinders, and 2 feet of exhaust pipe sticking out at a 45 degree.

As for size of the turn out, if the Euro meet is the same size I'd be happy. Probably 50 cars or so over the hour.5 I was there. I will still be attending on Wednesday.

~However, the plot thickens, maybe for the better.

Turns out the shops first guess was incorrect. They only did a quick look at it since they were super busy and finally put it on a lift today. They said they used two techs to check and see what was and wasn't moving, and the clutch is engaging. But the diff is F*cked. My first thought was the diff when it happened + knowing the previous history of trauma to the diff/axles with passed owners.

Im going to pay the shop their time for pulling everything apart and have it towed to my dealer(JLR Dealer) and put a LSD in it myself. Since they quoted me $4400 for a new factory diff and axles and all the other garb to go with. Only had it dropped at their shop since I dont have time for this shit right now. But when you're talking about $4400 I got time for that lol! I'm driving my 'winter beater' 2006 e90 325i for the time being.

[Ruddigger]

Nice, which LSD you gonna go with? I've heard some good and bad thigs about some of the upgrade companies.

[AndrewA]

I mapped a route for us. Starting from where we left off last time, at The Irvine Spectrum Rooftop to the Festival Center in Anaheim Hills. I thought it would be more interesting if we have our cruises go throughout all of The OC, so I had this go toward a different direction. Here is the route.





Meet Here




Park Here








There is a Chipotle, BJ's & The Habit at the end location.

I'd be definitely down to try this route. It would be nice to try something different and it seems like it gives several types of roads we can cruise on. Anyone else down to try it?

[Manberg]

Looks like a good route, I'll try and steal my Dad's X5 if I don't have my car back together.
