Amandyke posted:Yup, that's a TMIC. I appreciate the offer, really, but unless you're getting the FMIC in the next week. I need the bigger intercooler to handle the HTA68 that's on the hybrid I bought from Bob Log. That sucks. Do you know who dented you and are they fixing it? Someone recently did this to my car at a meet. Somehow backed into my parked car...  At least he is fixing it.

infrared35 posted:Speaking of rust, should I tackle this, take it somewhere reputable to deal with, or just forget about it? Yup, that is the stereotypical spot for our older imprezas. Plastic bumper rubs the metal part there wearing thru the paint. I guarantee, the rust you don't see is far worse. As stated earlier, if you plan on ditching it later. Just live with it.

One question, you should ask yourself about the used STI. Can you afford for the engine to go? (That bodykit is ugly as sin :x) Used turbo cars always scare the crap out of me.

blargle posted:I'm looking to pair some lightweight wheels up with the suspension upgrades to my WRX and use the stock boat anchor wheels for winter. Do the Volk TE-37s seem like a good idea? Rota seems like the most popular brand in the community, but they don't appear to be any cheaper than Volk, unless I'm missing something. Here's the comparison: TE-37s are that cheap? Unless that price is per wheel. But than, I didn't think rotas cost that much either. c355n4 fucked around with this message at 04:41 on Nov 29, 2010 |

Tatrakrad posted:I have a 2010 WRX that came on summer tires that I left at school (New York), while at home (Texas). Will it be okay on plowed roads? I've driven plenty of cars with all seasons and winter tires in snow weather but they were all sub 200hp beaters. I don't know how fast cars, even with 4wd, take to slush. You lose traction, you lose traction. No amount of AWD/4WD is gonna save your rear end. How much you have to drive?

 Should I feel guilty for completely gutting the interior of my car in preparation for cage installation? I feel bad doing this to a rather pristine car; but, this is why I bought it... Roof panel with the moonroof is going to be removed and a flat one from an impreza L will be installed.

This is a shot in the dark. I'm looking at standalone ECUs. Currently, narrowed down to a megasquirt unit or an older LinkPlus v10 G1. Cost keeps many of the other options out of range. Its hard to find information on the LinkPlus in relation to subarus especially since its never been very popular over here and its an Australian company. Thoughts? c355n4 fucked around with this message at 21:41 on Mar 10, 2011 |

daslog posted:I'm looking for some ideas. I have excellent connections (my spouse) into the regional Subaru dealerships. If I wanted to pick up a an 8 to 15 year old Subaru to fix up, what should I pick? Something like a 1998 RS? If you want one in that bodystyle, I'd only get a '00 or '01. Mainly due to the engine. The '99 is nice but it was a weird year and the '98 was a DOHC motor.

Got my car back. Cage isn't super fancy/complex as the others you see. Working on a budget; but, it fits regulations for NASA/EMRA/SCCA and keeps me in my classification.   Still have a bunch more work to do on the car.

Seat Safety Switch posted:I'm actually really interested to see what upgrading springs, shocks and adding more caster will do to the car, as almost everyone I've talked to has always gone for swaybars first. I'm on completely stock swaybars. I've always felt and been told that swaybars are the last thing to change. They are used to fine tune the suspension once you've dialed everything else in as much as possible. People go for swaybars first because it is cheap.

"Crashed" the impreza at Beaverun. I have to now arrange to get it towed back. Unless someone knows someone near Wampum, PA :x. I hit an embankment and somehow snapped the front right axle at the outer CV Joint and possibly damaged other suspension components there. I got first in class for the TT at least and I crashed it on the last session. Was trying to push too hard to break into 1:15. I *think* I apexed too early and got on the gas way too early before the suspension had time to settle after the crest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_qPHsYdOMY

I'm in NJ, so like 350 miles away. The sucky part is that I've been saving up for a tow vehicle and trailer. I have a buddy halfway and he might be able to pick it up for me. It kind of helps that I have video, I've been trying to solicit opinions on what I did wrong in the corner. I'm still a novice at this and learning. Lotta videos of stuff breaking in this thread suddenly :x
