Can't wait for Graham to upgrade his though. Thing is already a beast now.

I have UMW tune on K24s (X50) and the constant pull through the top gears is stunning. Used be that 6th was about useless other than a gas-saver gear. Now, it hauls the car hard well up to my testicular limits. In fact, yesterday, I had 4 lanes of open road and could see for about 2-3 miles, and let 'er rip. Was into 6th and it was pulling like a beast - way better than stock.
The UMW tune is supported with UMW's waste gate kit, new diverter valves, and a EPGEN2Q exhaust.

His car pulled a lot harder up top than I anticipated for just a k24 with flash. I have always wanted to drive a k24/18g car for comparison but cannot find one locally. My alphas spool quicker and then pull okay up top but my meth kicks in at full boost. I wasn't excited about my power up top before the meth. I see myself going to bigger turbos as soon as I can.... I wish I had gone 30s from the beginning. sigh....

It was a pleasure meeting up with you guys !
That road is a blast, high speed runs
To bad the 'track' conditions where not ideal
Graham, shot me and Dave a pm of when is your
next track day at laguna, so all 3 of us can go. I'm trying to get 6 pot rotors for the front
so I can have some fun using the brakes at laguna seca
My car was feeling a bit odd....my mcup tire almost bursted, down the middle... when i got home and checkout the 'vibration' the middle of the front left was ripping apart...

I'm glad I noticed that your front left was looking a bit flat.. Could have been a real problem earlier in the day..Great seeing you Enrique...

Great to finally do the famous Alice's drive. You guys are on the verge of getting me hooked on this turning stuff and will set me on a completely different mod path now.

Quick Question.
I live in Seattle. What would it take to join a PCA DE day at Laguna Seca?
I've driven the track on a PS2-3 sim many years ago, and sort of know the line (should refresh though).
But I would happily drive down, get a room, and drive the track some DE day. Is that possible for an out of towner?
I'd have to run on street tires; no truck/trailer combo.

It's definitely doable.. There are about 6 guys coming up from L.A. so for you, it might be a longer haul, but hey.. Road Trip!
Here's the link.

There are plenty of Hotels/Motels around, within 15 minutes of the track.
Cheers.
