Bogus Basins management wants to start charging a bunch of money. They are saying it would pretty much double the entry fee.

Finally got around to uploading this pic. I was hoping for more torque but I was suprised by how much hp it made. Not bad for a NA Honda with just a header, intake and exhaust.

I took it out for a gravel test for the first time on normal roads(not rallyx). Alex Staidle came with me. The back end was REALLY twitchy the way Matt had it setup. That's how he wanted it but it felt to stiff to me so I softened it up 5 notches and now it's where I think it should be. It's easy to drive now! I had a blast pitching it into corners. In the straights I was driving slow but I was trying to keep some pace through the corners. So fun! The car has a terrible drone so we were wearing helmets on the gravel but I didn't want to on the highway. I think some transit headsets are going to be needed. Plus I can bring them with me when I codrive for other people.

My brother has some for sale if you want a pair of peltor headsets.

Having them for recce is nice as well

Oh forgot to post this. As you can see Idaho's roads are smooooth!



Then a friend came over and wanted to see what the light pod looked like so I put in on for a minute.


The Harley and the Ducati are not mine.

i love that road! maybe next time lets hit the usual suspects with some notes? Then again hunting season is starting up soon...

Yes! If we go at the right times we should be ok. If we run into a bunch of traffic then we turn around.

Dan looks a little wide in the second shot lol

p.s. Motor and trans are in the car, turbo is on, oil and coolant lines have been hooked up, got a wild hair today after playing with dans car yesterday. I'm also going to just refer to the integra as "second base" until the paint scheme changes.

I think the breeze must have been blowing up my shirt making me look bigger then I really am . Second base! A guy at work calls it "The Pink Falcon." I call it Stella.

Little update on the car. Saturday I towed the car to Boise to have Alex and AJ fix my wiring issues. I now have a horn, have reverse lights that only come on when they should not with the headlights, lightpod is rewired, brake pedal pivot bolt that kept falling out is now in place with a nylock nut, A pillar support bar gussets made(still need welded), and a few other issues fixed. I still need to figure out why nothing is working in the defrost system, install the roof vent that Jason Tuttle gave me(thanks man), install a new starter, get new harnesses and a couple other really minor things.

The drive today was a blast though! Alex is codriving for Charles Buren next weekend so I gave him a couple pointers on writing notes. Also the practice headsets I got from Bryan Lord worked out great!
