A group of about 5 from Lexington will be passing through Ciny around 2:30pm on Friday, and through Indy aound 4PM on Friday.

The second group is leaving Lex around 5 or 6 so that puts them 6through Cincy around 7:30PM and indy around 9PM.

Blew my Mazdacomp diff up in the spec miata at Autobahn last weekend. In the process of swapping in either an open or viscous unit for the expo! Also need to get the passenger seat and harness installed. Need to replace a tie rod and possibly a wheel bearing in the tow vehicle. Need to replace a whe...

Hey guys,

I (Chris Adams) have sold my WRX and will be in a Spec Miata for the expo. Just wanted to tell you guys so my students arn't looking for a 4x4 monster truck, but rather a slightly pink (possibly homosexual) miata.

Thanks! LOL.

GLWS!

Wish this was about 2 years in the future, when I'll haev a salary and a garage to put it in!

I am a senior at the University of Kentucky and work as a student electrical engineer at a local Power G&T Coop.




My job invlolves analyzing loads...

Putnam is on my list of tracks to hit eventually. Lot of tracks I'd like to give a try.. It was my first track and still a "home track" that a lot of us Kentucky guys head to frequently. It is a really great palce to push the boundaries a litttle, as there is plently of run-off. Albiet, y...

Yeah, she's just a wee bit mod'd. lulz. I bought the car after it was wrecked on the way to E5. Wasn't bad at all IMO, replace bumper, rad support and headlights and I was good to go. I knew when I purchased it, it was destined to be a dedicated track car. This is the way I will go one day... Try t...

Oh it is pretty modded



I have a roll bar




lol,

and a few other things I guess... but its not a dedicated track car.

I beleive it.

I could barely hang with Mike Alsip last year around Putnam, and his is reletively stock.

How is your ITR prepped, besides a cage?

Dave_B wrote:Damn, that is a pig.

I think I'm down around just shy of 2400 with cage in it.

I haz power. And bigger bumpers and fenders to plow you off the road

I hear ya. Those things that heavy you need brake cooling? Oh yeah. ~3200lbs with me is what I estimate. I typically replace them mid season or at least turn them if they are ruined by the heat cycles. Lucky they are just $30 a rotor. Noice! Ugh, can't wait til first track day of season...maybe ear...

Dave_B wrote:Fogs removed for air flow?

Updated post with more pics,

And the fogs were removed for brake ducts

Still don't have them installed yet, just waiting to buy the brackets for the rotors. More important prep work came first, Radiator, water pump, timing belt, tarrrrs, ect.

lulz... yeah happy monday. Where are the pics of your WRX? :) Here are a few from a NASA weekend at Putnam. This is how the car sat as of last year: http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r250/Mistamike17/DSC_0087.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r250/Mistamike17/DSC_0088.jpg There is a video of ...

Is that picture sparkling?

I may be a bit biased, but an any STI from 04 through 07 is going to be a great daily driver, fun car, and can hold its value if you decide to sell it. Any WRX from 02 through 05 will drop in value overnight, is no where near the performance of an STI out of the box, and just will not "wow"...

The 02 and 03 seats are the smallest usdm seats in any Wrx. And most bolster. Good for spirited dding.

The seats swap right over and there is always a ricer 02 Wrx owner wanting that blue interior.

Then go wingless and scoopless, sleeper front mount. And boom. You have a luxery 05 sti!

I like your style. I think I'd take black pf01s though; )

^^ What Dave asked :P Though WRX > ITR for daily theft worries :? This is the main reason I still have a WRX at the moment. I do DD it, its pretty uncomfortable in the summers with my race seat/harness/roll bar installed, but the beauty is I can fit at least 2 sets of wheels in the "bed" ...

See you in Joliet

Hey, no problem, I am excited to participate!

Dave_B wrote:Chris,

I sent a message to the organizers about your post in the Instructors thread.

Welcome to the site, you ready for an ITR yet?

Thank you, Dave.

Maybe when/if I sell the Suby and I can find a well priced ITR

And guess what... IT'S FRIDAY!!!

Yes, it is! Happy Friday!

Hello sirs, Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Chris Adams (...hi chris), I am from Lexingtonm KY, and I have a problem: ITR envy. Ever since my roomate purchased an ITR I have been forced to look at it in the garage daily! My 2002 WRX just doesn't rev to 9,000 RPM (reliably that is). I am ...
