That sucked about Steve's car. He would have had the CRNC if that hadn't have happened. Those low water bridges out there are scary. For those who don't know what they are, to get the road over a creek they just kind of throw a bunch of concrete over a few tubes to let you drive over the creek. Most...

In Action:

Yeah definitely! grantsubaru@yahoo.com
Thanks!

So here's how our first event went. Me driving, Steve Bis co-driving, Mike Kilpatrick and Mark Malsom service Day 0 We arrived in Salem at about 8 am after driving all night. None of us have slept for more than an hour but we need to get the car fixed as the new oil lines to the oil cooler are leaki...

Had the car entirely finished on Saturday night then on Sunday when we were out testing I found how badly Kumho rally tires and ice mix and went off the road and crashed into a pole. Luckily the pole was there or else I would have fallen down about 15 feet into a creek. Anyhow, the pole trashed the ...

That's awesome Nick. Some day I'd like to build a car or take my rally car (not the colt) up and race in some of those events. They look super fun and those tires are just mean looking!

Well my rally colt is nearing completion. We have repainted the interior, put on new mudflaps, wired the old terratrip and a new terraphone, as well as a behind seats camera and an on bumper camera. We have a few little things left to do and the car will be done. Here's the fun info: Engine 1.6L Int...

I concur. Those wheels look sick.

Anyone know how to tell the difference between a turbo 5mt and a regular one? My parts guy just has them all on shelves after he pulls them out of cars so I want to make sure I'm looking at the right thing. Thanks Oh yeah, I already searched and read about the differences internally and such, I'm ju...

Okay here's the deal. This is for SCCA Front Range members and was arranged by one of our board members Rupert. The deal is $15 per wheel to powdercoat and $10 per wheel to sandblast them, which is highly recommended. Make sure to mention SCCA and maybe even Rupert. Here's the contact info and Ruper...

This is actually a place in Denver. What size are your wheels and what color are you wanting to do?

Just after I've given up someone else stepped up and found a place that might do them for $25 per. Questions they asked, "What size wheels, how many, and do they need sandblasted first, and what color, and how many wheels?" I'm going to get 8 (4 16" WRX, and 4 13" Colt) done so w...

Yeah those damn Californians. Don't even get us started on Texans. :D I have a love/hate relationship with Colorado. Being from Wyoming, where we hate everybody that borders us, we really hated the f-ing greenies. On the flipside there aren't many states where you can be walking around outside in th...

No luck in finding out the name of the place. Still trying to find out. I'll let you know if I do. Might try calling Performance Wheel and Tire on Santa Fe and see if they do it or know anyone that does. Let me know if you have any luck. I have some wheels I need done.
Later

I'll chime in here being from Wyoming. The Wyotech campus is located just outside of Laramie, WY. It's a pretty decent school from what I have heard. The head of Autonation's service recommends it to people and often gives talks and speeches and recruits from there. For those of you who don't know w...

Man I knew I forgot something.

We had about 4-8 inches on Sunday afternoon. I was on my Falken Azenis but luckily had the snow tires in the trunk. Went out driving for a few hours on the unpaved streets just having a blast. Went home and got up yesterday morning and it was so cold the car wouldn't start and the tires were frozen ...

I'm leaving out the Porsche engine since it's a $300,000 car and I doubt the engine would be it. I've voted on my suspicions, now so can you!

Wanted to but the cage isn't done and the suits aren't here yet. Will be at the CRNC at 100AW in MO though.

The Porsche thing was a joke and so is the author :D . I agree with locking the thread. I don't think I've ever read a locked thread and not understood why it is locked. I think that our moderators do a very good job with appropriately locking threads and explaining why if it's not dreadfully obviou...

9/91. I used to have my VIN memorized but have since forgot it.

In 2000, at the end of Clinton's term, he passed a law often refered to as the "exotic car law" It allows a vehicle to be licensed without having to pass all the usual requirements, such as crash testing but that the cars had to meet that years emissions requirements from the toughest stat...

Actually I recognize that engine and know why you can't find the engine code. That's not a Subaru Flat four engine. Thats the flat six off of a Porsche 959. Thats why the cam cover is red too.

I want to get one of those old style barooga horns from lke a 70s Caddy or something. One of the recommendation that the Colorado Hill Climb Association had for the rally cars was that we all have sirens so they can hear us coming. Since we're faster than their American V8s and much quiter we scare ...
