Honcho · 2 July 2014

In, but will not have Fujitsubo.

badnsx · 3 July 2014

I hope to make it if I do not have to work. From what I see meet in Colorado springs ?

dawk · 3 July 2014

Paul, no exhaust? Why are they sending you a new one?

Honcho · 3 July 2014

This one has a dented tip damaged during shipping. I am getting a brand new replacement, but insurance will not let me run the current one.

It's probably going back to Japan once I get the new one.

dawk · 3 July 2014

Huh.....how will the insurance know?

wagyshag · 3 July 2014

will be there

Correct, at Tinseltown.

badnsx · 8 July 2014

Sounds good I will be there

MileHighNSX · 15 July 2014

Anybody else showing up to the drive who wants to meet up and drive down together on Saturday morning??

Titanium turns gold and then blue with heat.

Don't want to risk them finding out. It sucks having this gleaming piece of Ti just sitting in my garage though.

Will, can you re-post the route? The link doesn't work.

Where do you what to meet and what time. I was thinking off I-25 and 58th at the gas station on the north west side at about 8:30 or so text my cell later.

Honcho · 17 July 2014

Gonna have to back out- my little one's swim lesson got rescheduled to 9:30.

And I had been watching Best Motoring togue videos to get psyched up...

dawk · 17 July 2014

I am out this Sat. Have to go to 3 different bday's.

Will,

Did you want us to meet you somewhere off of I-25 by Park Meadows or off of the Lincoln exit so it'll be three of us heading down there?

JimC · 18 July 2014

I hope to be there.

MileHighNSX · 18 July 2014

Awesome Jim hope you can make it! Did you want to drive down there with us? Or do you live in the Springs already?

JimC · 18 July 2014

I'm from the Springs area and will meet y'all at Tinseltown.

MileHighNSX · 18 July 2014

Cool sounds good

WillErickson · 19 July 2014

I'm gonna head down solo, I usually take the back way since I'm on the east side.

See you all in the morning.

MileHighNSX · 19 July 2014

I had a good time today guys for 1/2 the drive until I had to cut it short and head back home because of this http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showt...-when-the-ABS-modulator-is-going-bad-on-my-91

Sorry if I made you guys wait for me, I tried to call Will and Paul but there wasn't very good cell service up there and therefore couldn't reach anybody.

I figured that I would just head back home because I didn't want my brake pedal going to the floor at the speeds we were doing :tongue: but hopefully the brake flush will solve the problem (fingers crossed

) Reference the link I posted to see the details. Hope to see you guys on the next drive I am usually free on Saturdays and can make it to most drives.
