I got my wastegate actuator adjusted a bit and my truck was running pretty well yesterday. Last night I went out to dinner with a few friends. I was rainy out, we decided to go cruise around in the Ty, these guys had never been in it before. Drove around and pretty much found nothing besides 2 gnarly wrecks from people who were screwing around in the rain. We're about to head back and I cruise through a local sorta high end little strip, Santana Row for those of you familiar with the area. We make our way through and find a guy in a pretty clean C5. It sounds good, don't know if he only had exhaust or what. I pull up next to him and spool a little. He looks over, revs it up, and just spins his tires. He though he was baaaddd. This got me all excited, I thought he wanted to play. So I get behind him and start to follow him, trying to catch a light somewhere. He was driving pretty fast, kinda seemed chicken. I followed him for a couple miles and it became obvious; he was pretty much running away from me, making all kinds of turns and manuvers to get away from me, then whipping into a parking lot to try to loose me. Pssh, I had no time for games, I just gave him a little spool and went on my way. Later on last night, I was comin' home from a friends house. It was still rainy out and I was expecting to see anything fast looking to play, I'm just unlucky like that. I was just getting off the freeway to go home and a few cars up ahead caught my attention. I got on it a caught up to them. It was sprikling by them, nice and wet out. There were several cars cruisin around, two of which were semi-modded SRT-4's and one was a pretty quick GTI as it seemed. I was the luckiest man alive. Right when I caught up to them, we caught a light. Everything was laid out perfectly, 4-wide, me, and these 3 guys. I was so happy. I just jump the truck forward a little while we're waiting at the light to get their attention. It turns green and I just start out by rolling into the intersection. They all hit it, and so do I. I walked those mothers like I could not believe. It was so funny watching those guys shift through their gears, with their little bov's squeaking every time they shifted or let off to try to get traction, haha. I just pretty much drove away from them all. We caught several lights the whole way up and I just schooled them. That just made my night. They kept telling me they weren't getting traction and were asking if my truck were awd. I just told them I picked up this truck because I liked the body kit, I didn't really know anything about it. Haha. I pulled over when they did and it turns out one of the guys went to high school with me. I introduced myself to them, told them my truck wasn't tuned in yet, I was still yet to start spraying alky and running more boost. This night only peaked at 14psi. I told them next time we meet, it'll have to be in the dry. We'll hope and see.
Should stay rust-free down there. Where did you end up moving? I usually come down to Phoenix around the holidays to visit family. Will ping you next time I'm down there.
