Twisty and/or Curvy roads

[JustinS]

This weekend I am installing all of my new suspension goods, does anyone know of a good road that would test them fairly well?

Would prefer a road with lots of left hand turns because my oil pickup is on the passenger side. My platform is notorious for spinning bearings on hard high speed right hand sweepers.

Thanks in advance. :)

[Stix37867]

I'd like to know also. I really want to try out the G-Tech Pro RR and see how well the data logging works.

[DragonUSMC]

I would tell you, but i'd have to kill you.

[DustinsDuster]

theres a pretty good one close to where we have all of our BBQ's....

[JustinS]

I'd prefer to have one in the C.R. area, I don't want to get too lost. lol.

[DustinsDuster]

east post road, W 29th street and that other road that goes to washington HS from East Post

[JustinS]

East post road is pretty good, I get worried about the Marion police though haha.

[Ricky]

i know of this road. its by eastpost but it some hard rights and hard lefts. by hard i mean smoth S cuve into a 15mph right hander thing swing it hard to the left, apex hits hammer it... watch out for kid with the lawn mower, then some more rights and lefts. blind peak at the end down hill straight away and then stop sign. its fun me and tyler go there a lot but i dont know if i want to say the road yet...

[JustinS]

I'll hit up Tyler on AIM the next time I see him on to get it out of him. : P

[Ricky]

indian hill road. keep that as quiet as possible since i just posted it on a public fourm. haha

[JustinS]

I've heard of it and actually went looking for it one night, and tried looking it up on MapQuest and still couldn't find the damn place!

[Ricky]

hehe im not sure how to get there now. but its not far from the ave and its goes to mt. vernon road. thats all i know. tyler can give you better directions. o and some of the conners are "off camber" a little so your not going to be able to take those as fast as you would think ;) take it slow the first time for sure.

[JustinS]

No doubt, you always take it easy your first time out for everything. I tend to break a lot of shit if I don't.

Perhaps we should have some sort of CR:U meet and go out for a drive this weekend. Even though it will be cold as hell.

[Ricky]

if its nice i will be out. probably on the ave somewhere like i was back in high school. if you see me flag me down :)

[JustinS]

I'll be sure too. What time do you think you'll be out. Maybe I can get Tyler to come out with the Gti, since he had a little mishap with the Corrado.

[DragonUSMC]

I might be down for a little mini turny road CRU meet... i'll be up this week end helping finishing 2 engine swaps.

PM me, i'll need phone numbers.

[Ricky]

you are now a proud owner of of a shinny new PM jay

[JustinS]

If my installs go smoothly I will definitely be out for a little while, but if they go sour the car will stay on jack stands, lol.

[Drifte]

i wanna play.

[JustinS]

You're not cool enough. : P

[Drifte]

ya i know. im that punk playin on gravel roads.

[JustinS]

You can come mr gravel road player on'er.

I'm getting pumped now, hopefully everything goes smoothly with my car saturday morning.

[DragonUSMC]

I will not play on gravel... last time i had to take it on gravel i did 10mph all the way.

hopefully we'll have two 240's to play with that day, hell maybe even 3.

[ZacFields]

Not sure if this was mentioned yet but the road leading to the BBQ this summer is about as curvy as any road around here.

Make sure you all are there! We are getting the date set today!

Zac

[Drifte]

that road leading to the bbq is awesome. i remember listening to my turbo the whoooole drive their. it was bouncin off the trees. i recall looking in my mirror and seeing stro just rocket around a corner barely making it. but that was before his suspension, damn it was funny.

[Stg4raddo]

Indian hill road ill bring out the GTi should proly space out the cars. and theres a church at the bottom with a large parking lot to stop at. but theres also many houses on the road

i normaly go alone theres only a few other people i would trust to go down this road with me at high speeds close together

[Drifte]

hmm. i recal tandom drifting with you. in gocarts, cars, i tried my damdest in the e-cars.

but dont trust me in a civic....i dont.

[JustinS]

I'm mainly looking to go check it out and what not, fast driving should be saved till the warmer weather. My tires probably wont stick to well in this weather.

[DragonUSMC]

yes but SR20's love cold air. =D

[JJ240]

the also pull a premium around race force.

[DragonUSMC]

L2ecu

[Drifte]

tehy also pull up premium around race wars?

[JustinS]

tehy also pull up premium around race wars?
lmao, I knew race force didn't sound right.

Let's go put SR20's in Honda's and Acura's, we'll be the shit and we can pump peoples mouths full of fake oil!

[Drifte]

that oil looked delicious.

[love4speed]

I dont know if you want to head down to the ic area but sugar bottom and mchaffe bridge road are some nice ones to run. sugar bottom is great, tests some skills, i know a few guys that take their bikes out there, and if you want a few cars to run with i can help out with that too. im going to try to get some of the motor heads around here into this site. we need to get as many people as we can back into the scene. the more cars running around the better. its addictive! you see a nice mod you want it or something like it. lets get eastern iowa car crazy. tell everyone you know about this site and have them join. they will get hooked!

[JustinS]

mmmm, oil!

You work on those IC people, people get turned off because of Cedar Rapids in the title of this place but it's open to anyone in Iowa!

[DragonUSMC]

damnit i didnt want you telling everyone about sugar, eventhough its pretty widely known. I just dont want asshats going there driving the hell out of their super understeering crap suspension cars and making sure that road gets closed forever.

[Drifte]

i used to bike out their a lot. didnt drive on it to much outa respect for the place, but i want to!

[96-eclipse-gst]

That is a good twisty road but like you Justin prolly wanna slow down on some of those right hand turns. If they have a such a problem with that, you should just get a moroso oil pan or something. Keep it in mind.

[JustinS]

Found the road today, you guys were not kidding when you said tight corners!!

[Ricky]

:) now try passing a v6 mustang on that road who you are racing.... :)

[JustinS]

Yikes I dunno about that, lol. Tyler told me about that situation, what a bunch of dumb asses.

[JustinS]

New suspension is done, but I'm beat tired so I'm staying in this evening. Have fun if you go out guys!

[~626~]

Ellis road across Edgewood, Glass Road, and of course the aforementioned Indian Hill and East Post.

[DragonUSMC]

We didnt go out... we had issues on the SR swap and was working on my brother's engine swap until 5am... its now noon and we are heading out to finish my brothers.

[Ricky]

i was gona say you never called me jerk

[racerstf]

indian hill road. keep that as quiet as possible since i just posted it on a public fourm. haha
haha i live on that road but ya it is a fun road to drive.

[Ricky]

i knew a kid who used to live off that road too. his name was chris bass. i was over to his house a few times. funny kid, but the bird he had was nuts.
