Beautiful day to take a ride!!!!
We left the Central Valley floor (sea level) and went up to 6,500 elevation to Sequoia National Park, Kings Canyon and Squaw Valley.
I included some pics of the journey. Car ran great all the way. First 2-hour trip of the year. Enjoy! Bryan

Amazing road!! Nice old school "OH WHAT A FEELING" Toyota jump.
Are those RH 3.6 wheels???? I am looking at swapping out my Fuchs for a set. If so what width and tire size are you running??? How do you like them Thanks

RH for sure
Yep, those babies are RH 3.6 Turbo wheels. 18x10/8.5. Running BF Goodrich 285/30 and 245/35.
I sold the fuchs. I can appreciate the Fuch look, but always wanted the 3.6 wheels and I like RH better because they have the correct offset for the 930 instead of the C2 offset. Here is a close-up.

Great looking car.
I know, and have read up on turbochargers doing a good job to minimize the loss of power due to altitude, but I was just wondering if you could tell a difference. Since I am at 5,500 feet pretty steady, and never sea level, I am just curious. Bill |

Rod,
The lake filled in nicely. Is it higher than last year after the good winter snowfall?
I can't wait to be slinging back the bre-haus and catching some sunshine. Glad to see the launch went well. At least it's not in your driveway anymore. Bryan |

Yes, the turbo did seem to be a little lighter on the power but I was also climbing the entire time so it may just be that I wasn't on a flat surface and the car was working harder.
On the way down I gassed it a few times and it seemed fast, but that may be do to the other reason??? Not sure this helped. Overall, not much difference. Bryan |
