Funny you pick those words because those things people carry phones in on their belts are referred to as cell phone holsters because of their form/fit/function congruency to standard gun holsters. Just throwing out some fun food for thought.

I'm sure it's still salty.

Soggy Biscuit. First one to finish gets the trailer. Seconds place eats the biscuit. GO!

The engineer is confused. How is this different from any car whose center diff is permanently in limited slip mode? If any car cannot instantly open its center diff upon e-brake assertion, then it would have the same issue. This is not some concept unique to Subaru, and therefore WRXs. It's not sad, it simply is the basic design nature of any fixed LSD. Shit, you can burn up any fixed front/rear/center LSD if you manage to lock one side of the output and apply power for too long. Are you saying Subaru is the only company to ever save money on a basic 4-wd car by having certain models with and certain models without a full-blown computer controlled DCCD?

It's just easier to keep a list of things you won't allow inside of you.

You've got some time, don't fret. I have a handful of metal bits that agree.

This is kind of the idea behind mine. It's a base '07 WRX with an '04 STi engine/trans/DCCD swapped in. Slap on a FMIC and a GT3076R (which is now the second one, thank you coolant leak) and you can pump out some decent numbers for a little ~3100lb car. It's as fun as you'd think it would be. (side note: if you've ever thought about upping the power on your WRX but not upgrading the rear differential, figuring "fuck it....it can take the power, right?" I have some sheared spider gears I'd love to show you )

BTD, where/who does your tuning? Mine was done a long while back when it was originally built up, but hasn't since the repairs/re-rebuild so it really needs another go. I'm not into the idea of blowing up another ball-bearing turbo, so suggestions?

Observational humor is humorous.

Love the subbie. Well done. I have a jacked up 2007 WRX with an STi drivetrain swap that I got from a guy on here a couple years ago. I've done a lot of engine work to it since I got it (which will happen when you blow up a turbo and a rear differential), and I love it. Thing is a monster for a 4-banger. We need a new tune for it, but it should be kicking out anywhere between 430-450 at the crank. With 4-wheel drive, it's just damn fun to flog around. For the money, there isn't much more fun to be had in a car, at least in my opinion. Good choice. I'll try to post up pics of mine if I ever get them, so it'll be in good company in this thread. It also has the sleeper look you guys were talking about, where there's no wing or anything on it. Fun times.

You mean, besides the thrill of knowing the next fart could be your last?

COME AT ME BRO!!!!111!one!!

Since when, Tuesday?

Well, fucking Kodak just closed our model shop, so it looks like this will not happen any time soon. Thanks for answering my questions and giving me some suggestions though, it was a fun design. If the opportunity to make it ever comes up again, I'll post up pics of the product. Too bad, I was gonna make some flash suppressors too...

Nickel for every time....

This really is a crazy deal, I'm blown away you still have this too. It obviously goes without saying that I'd own this already if my marriage wouldn't be fatally compromised by doing so. Whoever gets this bike is going to start out this season right and have lot of quality track time in tow. I'm dying to hear this stays in the OR family just so a deal like this goes to someone who will appreciate what they got.

Fixed and bumped. Just to be sure you see the level of competition in the Navy Seal-based cinema market.

I'm sorry, but do you really expect me to believe you're going to top this? Let the fight for second place commence.

Does she do anal?

I crowned the inlet bore on a new baffle model and realized if I did it this way, I could use both in any combination I wanted. You can see both types (crowned and uncrowned) on the "table" next to the sectioned assembly. The section shows the crown profile on the first baffle. Now I'm thinking the crowned baffle is a better design.
