Malibu cruise
 

It is a distinct pleasure of having Malibu Canyon as well as all the other nice roads such as Mullholland Dr. right in our backyard, so why not participate in a Z Meet every month! Hang out with your fellow members as well as those who may not be on the forums for a rendezvous and a beautiful drive to finish off with a hearty lunch.

This is the drill for the regular Malibu Meet: Everyone attending will meet at the Malibu Country Mart (23387 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu CA) at 7:00am on saturday mornings at the dates scheduled below. As soon as all those who will be attending show up, we will depart onto Malibu Canyon Rd and enjoy an "enthusiastic" drive through the Canyons of Malibu and beyond.

This does not have to be limited to Z cars; if anyone has friends that would like to tag along, that would be nice too regardless of make or model.


This is a monthly meet: the 2nd week of every month, Saturday mornings!

we normally go but been dead lately look for the thread somewhere in here

I would def go

There is one tomorrow with the G37 group. Who's going?

Meet **Los Angeles Canyon RUN/MEET V 2.0** - MyG37

Shoot, I would not be able to make that one... I would be willing to start organizing something regular up there if people are willing to commit, I still am learning all the roads up there but there are so many places to go.

i could be in on regular runs.

Ok; I will add a standing list of those who might be interested and then I will gather the best times of the months (or year) that would work for most of the list.

which canyon?

I really don't know if we would decide on just one route over and over, just for variety's sake. Theoretically, the run would start on Malibu Canyon Rd and could take many of the side roads. It would depend on the time of day and which day of the week in terms of using Mullholland Dr since it gets choked with stupid motorcycles with a death wish but that is always a great loop road to take. Coral Canyon Rd is very technical and the pavement is not the greatest, Puerco Mountainway is awesome too but I am sure you guys probably know some great routes so feel free to offer them up!

I'm out there almost every weekend on my the motorcycle, and a lot of times i the Z. I'd be interested in rolling out, so put me down. There's a good chance I'll actually be in the canyons tomorrow with a buddy of mine who just got a Porsche. Depends on how my day/night goes. :tiphat:

Anyone ever do the Yerba Buena - Mulholland - PCH loop? MMmmuaahahahaha!

It would be awesome if you were willing to come out, the more the merrier! It is also great to have someone who is knowledgeable about some routes to take as I am learning all the roads but am not 100% clued in to the area yet.

I will add you to the list. I am also going to get an in-car camera and will make a mount to record the runs even though my noob manual skills will get laughed at haha.

Please put me on the list. If I am free I will roll with you guys.

The skills will come to you in no time. Mine are still getting worked on. Since this is the first manual I've driven in over 12 years. Hell, when really driving in the canyons, I leave the VDC and rev match on 80% of the time!!!

But yeah with enough advance notice I should be able to make it out.

Nah, I don't think you could hang... Sorry.* Of course you are, I should have added you earlier so my apologies!

That is you being nice. I am proficient with shifting in a more relaxed driving environment but once I need to start really speeding up the process, I am not entirely comfortable yet. But I will adhere to the "practice makes perfect" philosophy, not like I need more of an excuse to drive the car. ;)

Saturday vs. Sunday

Which one would work best for you guys?

saturdays.

I'm up for a canyon run...Lol how spirited do you guys get though?
It's my first rear wheel I just don't want to get too spirited YET.
I'm going to take her to the track when she's broken in though.

I am good either Saturday or Sunday, if I don't golf. The Morning time is probably the best.

carbon canyon?

1 vote for saturday.

I am also a beginner to RWD cars, same with manual transmissions too. I don't think we will be pushing ourselves to the max since the roads are pretty dangerous considering cops and other enthusiastic drivers who have less than ideal road manners.

I am thinking about saturday mornings now, it is the best of both worlds because there will be less traffic and will leave the rest of the day open.

Hey, the more ideas the better! I will look at some maps to figure some rough routes that we could take. It would be nice to make a different drive each time for variety's sake.

brea PD patrols carbon canyon tight now.

with that said if we could do it i'd def come out. carbon is like...2 minutes from my house lol

:koolaidwall:

I just got back from the RUN with G37 group. It was a good run for a Sunday morning. I am looking forward to the RUN with all the SoCal Z's.

That was pretty awesome. Was my first time going to an event. Can't wait for the next one.

Let's go! lol...I'll be ready after next week.
I'm getting some aftermarkets done this saturday but after that I'm ok whenever.

It was nice meeting you :tup:. Stop by the Cerritos meet sometimes if you can make the drive.

Nice Pics Paul

Thanks G. You should have come. The oil cooler is holding well. I drove mostly in 2nd and 3rd gear through the canyon. Need to drive this baby more....:driving:

Yea, I had a night of heavy drinking and woke up late. :(

I really liked the drop you got compared to stock. I'd be scared to drive around so low though, haha.

And I'll see what I can do, been a bit busy, but I'll try and work something out to make it to one of those meets eventually.

Also, after talking to you about the oil temps, I decided to pull 2nd-3rd gear all the way back through the canyon.
My oil temp shot up. I got to about 255 max. It wouldn't push past that though, I still want an oil cooler because I'd rather not run so hot.

Anyway, was great meeting both Z and G drivers. Great people to hang with.

I took a video of the run coming back, when I get back home, I'll edit it and post the raw and edited footage.

really? damn

Nice pictures Paul, that looks like an awesome place to go for a spin. The only difference will be that in a few weeks, those will all be Zs! Now, for the next big question; what type of time intervals would everyone be in for? Please post the option that is best:

1 - Every week
2 - Every month
3 - Every two months
4 - Every three months

I personally think that every week (option 1) is unrealistic but I felt like including it anyway.

Anyone that is not on the interested list; please make it known if you would like to be added, the more the merrier!

^ Thank you, Christian. I voted for (2) every month

Every month sounds perfect. I'd be down for that.
Would be nice to know regulars so we could get an idea of what day and time works for everyone.

(2)

Saturdays are perfect for me, especially in the morning. :tup:

Every month.

I'm in for 2

Number 2 ;)

Got to love democracy, every month it is. Sorry to do this again, but I am trying to work down all the variables in a straight forward order. As far as which weekend of every month is concerned, if you have a preference please choose the following (again, I know):

-1st weekend
-2nd weekend
-3rd weekend
-4th weekend

I can't do the 1st? Because the Cerritos meet is usually on the first Sat on every month, probably the 2nd or to the 3rd to be safe?
But thats me, carry on if you guys decide the 1st.
