The 510 Realm

gas is dirt cheap, very few cars on the road, anyone wanna go for a rip?

Sure. But I think I heard they closed the boarder between me and thee? I haven't actually gone to verify that but I'd be down for it...

Not yet Mike, staying at home to look after my wife after her full knee replacement surgery and I am self quarantining to avoid getting sick in ANY form, as I am primary cook, and caregiver.

As this thing progress's (virus) we may see events like Knox cancelled, it is only a couple of months away, who knows but nothing will surprise me this spring and early summer.

I'm glad I have been mentally planning some solo drives or just a small group staying out of busy traffic situations this year. I and my motor spent way to many hours trying to claw through traffic congestion.

all good bert, just thought i'd get the brains spinning for some drives soon.

just insured the 2dr but it will need a few shake down runs and new o rings and oil in the struts....but first I need to find a shop with some blue ray 30w shock oil

going to insure the slime soon, almost time for stage 3 of the build.

I just walked into a local bike shop an picked up the 20w BellRay that I wanted. I did put ATF in the sedan I had because it was planned that my wife would be driving it. ATF doesn't come in a standardized 'weight' but somewhere between 7 and 12 w and it does have anti foam additives. If weight is weight would engine oil do? or would it foam too much, or not at all?

I had a few guys say they would run 80/90 back in the day but i think that would feel a little wooden. the 20w matched ok with the nissan rally comp spring but there was a bit of a bounce once hot. 25w would be ideal. 30 works right for the heavier specialty springs.

i bet if i went out into the valley I could find some .... the shops I hit up before have folded

At the time I modded stock struts, I ran Belray 30W fork oil. It was ok other then the stock bump/rebound is not perfect, but, it did the job back in the early days of suspension tuning.

Was way too stiff in the winter, when I still drove my car on the road.

Knox Mountain Hillclimb cancelled for this year. Will have to plan out a different drive this year, maybe do that big loop up the Canyon to Ashcroft to Merritt, then 5A to Princeton and back down the Hope Princeton, take a picnic lunch to maintain "social distance"...Cripes.

I suppose Grand Forks to see Dave is too far for a day trip eh?

NOPE! Just a LONG ONE!!!!!

6 hours there say, a few hours to visit and eat, 6 hours back...same as a long day in the 510 saddle. I would do that in the G35,
might as well be comfortable and have some good tunes playing...ROAD TRIP>

gas was 86.9 in abby today. i'm ready for a drive, the slime's not ready but the 350z is.

dang, i saw reg gas in abby for 84.9 this morning.

It was 84.9 this morning———but now it is 97.9 WTF?
