The PAVEMENT thread: Cars, Racing, Drives, Speed...

[Bart]

Subscribed. Looks like a fun thread. Had a 914 at one point in life. Son has a WRX I'd like to go play with that has all the bolt on AutoCross parts.

I used to have a black e30 just like this one. Loved everything about it. It was an is. I'd love to find an ix though.

 

[sixstringsteve]

I had a '91 325ix. That thing was a blast in the snow. Super solid car.

Dang wish I would have seen this Me, Heather and Brooklyn would have cruised down in the mk4

 

[sixstringsteve]

Now you know.

I'm down for more sunday night drives.

 

[OrvisKrawler]

Beautiful e30 orviscrawler!

Now you know.

I'm down for more sunday night drives.

Thanks Steve, e30's are a lot of fun, I'll be watching this, I hope to be on the next sunday night drive. You ought to do a drive up weber canyon, over trappers loop to huntsville, from huntsville over monte cristo to bear lake, from bear lake to logan then to I15, thats a fun drive!

 

[sixstringsteve]

pick a date and set it up. I'll see if I can make it.

We did a similar drive last fall, started out on 12th after eating lunch at No Frills Diner and drove up to Huntsville, over Trapper's loop to 84, 84 to Morgan up through East Canyon, then back onto 80 to the valley. Next time we will extend it and maybe take 40 to Strawberry.

 

[sixstringsteve]

so... who's organizing the drive this Sunday night? I've got some ideas, but I'm open to some others planning them.

 

[jeep-N-montero]

As long as it doesn't include going through Provo canyon I'm game for about anything.

so... who's organizing the drive this Sunday night?

I'd be happy to join in, but my Sunday schedule makes it difficult for me to make it to the start by 6pm. If we started a bit later--even by just a little--the chances of me making it will increase dramatically.

 

[jeep-N-montero]

We have early church, so we are usually free the rest of the day.

 

[sixstringsteve]

I guess what I'm saying is don't wait for me to plan a drive. Plan one that works for you and post up and those that want to go will join.

 

[TurboMinivan]

Plan one that works for you and post up and those that want to go will join.

This is definitely the way to go. As much as I would like to attend, I certainly don't want the whole group to try and mold their entire trip around little old me.

 

[sixstringsteve]

we wont' be molding our trip to you. You'll be planning a trip, and if we can and want to attend, we will. Just pick a date, time, and route.

I've got a few fun projects aside from my wheeling vehicle. Actually, they're my first passion - hot rods.

Here's my prewar salt car built in homage to Multi Aldritch's roadster.

It's definitely not meant to be a speed demon with mechanical brakes and a model a banger engine and trans. The wheels are mockup wheels that'll go on my touring car. The wheels for the 1920 are 20x4".

Then, there are some other projects in the wings. I spent a while collecting stuff, now I'm pretty much set to build for the next 5-8 years (which means 10-15 ).

Top shelf is a rust-free 1926/27 roadster. This will be on an A chassis as was done pre and post war. The car will be slightly post-war era.

View attachment 83749

1930 A coupe on a 32 chassis. This will be around late 50s early 60s build with a Yblock and a few other goodies.

View attachment 83750

This is the touring car. It's going to be a full-fendered jalopy with all original parts/running gear. The only update will be reproduced tires. I've got all the parts except for the top.

Sweet!! Those are my kinda cars! :freak:

 

[sixstringsteve]

awesome.

 

[193kyle]

I am not really a car guy, I prefer trucks, hopefully my next project will be something like this!

 

[MikeGyver]

I actually just stopped by the machine shop today cuz I've been putting my Camaro motor back together after a lifter issue.
T76 turbo'd 383 LT1/LT4 on 11+psi 850+flywheel hp daily driver? lol why not.

After I play with the Camaro a bit I'm planning on selling or parting it out and buying a C5 Z06 Corvette.

As long as it doesn't include going through Provo canyon I'm game for about anything.

What do you have against Provo canyon? I have fun everytime I drive through it, whether I'm in my truck, car, or on my bike.
