Touge Glory!

[ACDSupra7]

I probably shouldn't talk about this here, but I dond't see the harm if I don't reveal locations etc. So here goes.

Last night I was making my nightly run on "Akina", nothing out of the normal. Saw the guy who's up there everynight with the Shelby Cobra, he's cool.

Great touge tale. Two kids in a suv went off the road and into a ditch on my touge run. Oh, they died also.

[mranlet]

I'm back in CT - Touge time for me

I got back yesterday around 2PM and have already run my hill about 4 times!

One time was against my friend's LS-1 Z28 - the CRX needs more power and a camber kit!

Crash - Yeah, I'm sticking with the FC for the most part. The Supra will still be my main track car once I finish it. I'll start bringing the MA70 out to DDs the middle of next year.

Prodigy- Sorry to hear that. But an SUV on togue, wtf were they thinking?

theflatlander - I got it about a month ago, there are pics in the pics and videos section. Thread title "Some of our cars"

mranlet - Yeah I run my hill alot too. Hard on gas though. Like 4 hours worth of runs everynight.

Touge is great in an FC... but I've seen some locals run super fast in their trucks and SUV's up and down the mountain too hahaha

[emission]

Dude you gotta let me get a piece of that MA70 I'll run your 70 myles my n/a auto owns!!

DD 70 vs. 70.

nice man!! i heard a story about this mustang crashing on our touge. i guess he hit a tree on the inside of the apex of this one hairpin....dumba$$!!

have fun, be safe, but more importantly, never give ground to newcomers on your own hill!!

sounds like a SHOE load of fun...

We don't use them words like that here.

Yeah, I guess the kids died also. They were stoned so it was their own fault.

[SaintDrift]

How the hell do you take a late apex? Are you jumping into the other lane? The touge runs around here, you either follow the road or you go into a ditch.

i dont wanna sound stupid, but what is touge? ive never heard it before...

its like driving fast on Mountain roads

and yea not much drifting is involved barly any

actually, touge is just mountain pass. its just the road element, w/o the driving. there is a different phrase for that, and i cant remember what it was (my japanese language teacher corrected me on in class one time). and it is pronounced the way it is speeled (think about it in japanese, as syllables, not a complete word)....

hope that helps you

import tuner defines "Touge" as a mountain pass. drifint is an art conceptualized by a group of auto motive enthusiats. sorry if that sounded kinda ricey

all it is is a winding mountain pass

yea that is right

OK heres the story. Some kid at our school let another kid borrow his 91 5 series bimmer. So the kid takes it out and decides that he is gonna run a touge route. Keep in mind he is not good at driving and he has never even done touge or drifting. So he goes on this wondy a$$ road comes into the first corner and looses controll and smashes right into a ditch. Car is totaled. Dont let friends drive cars. I know even if your friend is good at driving and you have known each other for ever don't let them drive your car. I have heard many stories that end up really bad like a flipped dodge stealth tt. So keep it safe and don't be a dumb a$$!

Last night was the first time ive gone up to my local mountain roads. it was friggin sweet... i didnt push it too hard, and i was following my freind in his sil-eighty w/ sr20det, he has alot of experience wtih this and his car is highly tuned, and im running in my semi-stock civic. he was pretty much teaching me everything, it was a 2 hour lesson up and down the mountain, telling me what to do pretty much each corner on teh walky talky... it was great, especially knowing i have an experienced mentor my first time up

i never got too close to my limits, im deffinately keepin the bar low right now since i dont have much experience up there. and so far so good. hehe 6000 to 7000 rpm for a couple hours at a time is great . its times like this i have no idea why i was ever a muscle car guy

i cant wait to get a 2.5RS impreza and start tuning it.

touges are fun as hell, but if your pretty much a n00b like me, dont push it! just cruise and get used to it

PS. im not a n00b at driving and street racing, i drive 100 miles a day and am very safe and lenient driver... im just beginning to drive on the mountain now tho.
