  1. Miller, you looking to track this thing on a road course? 750's don't call out races with liter bike's. FYI
  2. When did Miller get a bike?
  3. I understand the complexity of my generalizing. Sorry. I should have explained that many people spend money on smoking or drinking. Generalizing that the equivalent amount of $40 a month is easily spend on that. Perhaps you took it as, "Hey everybody, Alex smokes and drink $40 worth in a month." "What a dip shit". No, Not what I meant. I guess if my only expense's are my car's and bike, I can risk $40 a month. The lotto is not something I expect to win, but damn, it would be pretty cool. It's an opportunity to win, by playing it. I also don't expect to have a career as a Rally driver, but given the opportunity, I'm absolutely going to do it. I make a lot of bad investments for a guy who's pretty much dept free. That's how I got to where I am. It suck's I'm on track to retire by age 50 and live comfortably. I'm enjoying my life and live it. Alex, I'm talking to you now BTW. You are an over opinionated, self absorbed fool who chooses to have the mind set that if someone's out look is different than yours, they are the fool. There are many ways to do things. I respect your view for how you make your choices. You do what you are comfortable with. I'm not posting on here to tell people to live their lives the way I think they should.
  4. Can't win if you don't play. It's a chance. I suppose smoking or drinking will have better odds of paying off down the road?
  5. http://www.streetfire.net/video/dig-racing-in-the-snow-6-wide-truck-cant-slow-d_98601.htm Can't see my Leagacy that well with the huge snow, but it's up front with a 4x4 truck w/ a plow and 1500lbs of salt. As for MPG, in my 2.5 N/A GT, I was getting 30 mpg on the highway and 24ish in the city. With my 2.5 T, I get 24-26 mpg on the high way nad 18-21 in town. and it's lightly modded.
  6. I'm on my second Subaru and only because I updates by 10 years to another Legacy. I love them. This Legacy is my favorite car, and yes, more than my RX7. The clearance is fine and I have pulled several pepole out that were stuck with my "little 4 banger". They are shocked and I love it. After 5 years of telling my dad to get a a Subaru, he picked up an Outback a month ago. He lives in Vermont. They get a little bit of snow, if you know what I mean. I drive mine up there several times a year and at least 3 times every winter. It's 760 miles one way, I've never had an issue in my Subaru. That's why my plate reads "dsnowgod".
  7. I play the lotto when I'm in town and not traveling. Here's how I look at it: If I spend $10 a week on the mega millions, that's $40 a month. I spend $200 a month on insurance that I have never used for over 17 year's. Meaning I have never filed a claim, but I spend $200 a month to ensure if I have an accedent, I am covered. So my thought is is I spend $40 a month on the lotto, insurance for being rich one day, now it's like I'm waiting for that accident to happen. Now if you look at it from and investment point, we blow $40 on way more shit that we don't care about that will never pay off in the way the lotto could. And even if you never win, have you really lost that much? It's like having an insurance policy to get money. That's my .02 on it.

    So What If....

    You wait until I'm out o the country to ask this. Hell, just remember what my basement set up was, minus the fireworks that is. haha You know what I had for weapons and placement of them. The stratagy is the same, just think to have enough to defend the home and survive in it. Mutiple weapons are fine, but keep as mush "same ammo" types as you can Vs. what you need them for or how you plan to employ them. Think "I am Legend"/ "Red Dawn".
  9. Doc, this is an awesome event. Great info and write up. I need to de this next year. The PRK rally last year was great, and my first time doing one. The most fun I had had in a long time. How long was your planning and prep, not counting registration? I want to do this event next year if I'm back in Columbus in time. Any unforeseen issues you had come up, you care to share?
  10. You weren't doing too bad, up to the part of him knowing exactly what the limits are and pushing them and not wanting to fight next to that guy. Difference is, it's no different than the ROE, rules of engagement. See, I need to know the guy next to me knows the ROE and it's exact limits, and that he stay in them. His approach I can work on. every sevice member should know exactly this info and excute their actions within those limitations. I still see no difference in his open carry, than the several page thread on here talking about having an outting with open carriers. Aren't they dicks too? I mean why do they need to do it? We can only speculate how anyone on this board would handlethe situation. And now given this guys video, anyone would just do it in a way to make their same situation look as though they handled it better. There's no arguement he wasn't forthcoming with providing a lot of information. But, he was within his right. And he and the cop both new their limits. Had one done anything outside those rights, the ROE would have changed. His actions do not warrant him being booted from service. Think of all the right violation's that would be. And if that were that case, what's the next thing that's ok to take away? I can at least see your approach to this. I just can't say I agree.
  11. I'm not here to jump on your band wagon of popularity. You can choke on the next cock shoved in your face for all I care. Calling me a dick for understanding he was within his rights and stating he wasn't smooth about his approach, is weak. I'm pretty sure if he was suppose to give more info, the cop would have handled that. The officer was more than accommodating and understood the limits of both side. Great job. Doesn't mean Jermey should get booted from the Marines.
  12. Dumb comment. This video has nothing to do with the Corps. The cop asked if he was in, he said yes. That's what kept t on the same level and the cop knew, as did Jermey, that they were both right. I seem to recall people on here arranging an open carry outing a month or so ago. Everyone was all for it last I read. Jermey does it on his own and exercises other rights and he's a dick? He may not have been smooth, but he's absolutely in his right. Shame on him for being independent. Yeah, we don't want people like that serving to protect our country.
  13. Well cared for ride. I like your realistic approach to the FD. And am glad to see someone else who appreciates the rotary. Uniqueness is hard to find, and to me, the FD is the perfect blend. Welcome to the board.
  14. I want to play, but I'm out the game for the year with Uncle Sam. Have fun guys.

    what to do???

    I just deployed 2 months ago and went through this. It sucks and its a tough call. I found a friend with the room and care I would want for my cars. He starts them once a month and runs them for 20 to 40 minutes. They are on jack stands and covered. One is on a battery tender and the other is not, but I'm not worried about it. If not for this friend and space available I would have put them I. A storage unit and taken the battery out. Pm Me where you're heading
  16. Let me know if it doesnt go through. I'll take it.

  19. Does this help? I finally compiled the most completed info I can come up with for wheel and tire fitment questions that everyone has. I mapped this entire post out so that you can pick a rim size you want and the rest will follow, including tire size.. I worked out this post so that you guys can decide on a tire size and it will point to you of what rim specs you need to fit onto the car.. as for brands and types of wheels and tires, well, that's a totally different thread on its own. -GT's bolt pattern is 5x100mm, NOT 5x114.3. Only the 2005+ Impreza WRX STi is currently running 5x114.3mm. Stock GT wheel is 17"x7" +55mm (still need full verification if it's different from model years), but it's been confirmed for 05' rims on post #1522 -OBXT bolt pattern is 5x100mm with +48mm offset (weighing around 20.5 lbs per rim). OBXT wheel is 17"x7". -2.5i and 3.0R models will need confirmation on stock rim sizes. -Center bore must have to be 56mm or larger (if the bore is larger than 56mm, use hub centric rings to fit properly to your wheel's center bore, but not always necessary if you have wheels with conical lugnut seating, the wheel will eventually center itself, but that's your call of how you want to go about that). -SpecB, OBXT, and 3.0Rs can use shorter tire sizes from the GT. But be sure to check and compare the load capacity of the tires. Try to use the same tire load capacities if you can within +/- 100 lbs. You can certainly always go over, but not under (as this requires for you to run higher tire pressures and this could cause more of an issue for tire wear). -Lug nuts threading are 12mmx1.25mm. Open or Closed End lugs will depend on the mounting thickness of your rim, usually, closed ends (like the stock ones) are fine. -Here we go, here are your choices for rim widths (regardless of it being 17", 18", 19" or 20" rims): {offset in BOLD are the closest possible offset to OEM's scrub radius, you'll notice that once you go past 8" wide rims, you will run out of room on the inboard side to put/stuff any more of the wheel/tire to maintain the OEM scrub radius.. 8" and up will increase positive scrub radius} 6.5" (+34mm to +60mm offset, +55) *for 2.5i only 7.0" (+37mm to +57mm offset, +55) 7.5" (+40mm to +54mm offset, +55) 8.0" (+43mm to +51mm offset, +53) 8.5" (+45mm to +48mm offset, +45) *will need to roll the fenders if tires are wider than 255 9.0" (+43mm to +45mm offset, +43) *will need to roll the fenders if tires are wider than 255 9.5" (+38mm to +40mm offset, +38) *will need to roll the fenders if tires are wider than 255 and it also depends on what kind and size of tire you want to run as well (and that can get messy). But to be on the safe side, here is the tire widths you can put on each rim: 195mm = 6.5", 7" and 7.5" 205mm = 6.5", 7" and 7.5" 215mm = 6.5", 7", 7.5" and 8" 225mm = 7", 7.5", and 8" 235mm = 8", 8.5", and 9" 245mm = 8", 8.5", and 9" 255mm = 8.5", 9", and 9.5" 265mm = 8.5", 9", and 9.5" 275mm = 9" and 9.5" 285mm = 9" and 9.5" Once you decide on the rim size, the tire width you want to run, here are your final tire choices. Note that not all tires are built the same way, so sometimes you'll find two different tire models with the same size (225/45/17), but one can fit on a 7" rim, while the other one will need a 7.5". You'll have to look around the manufacturers' specs on sectional width of the tire.. normally you want your rim width be no more than 1.5" less than the tire's sectional width. For example, if you have a 8" wide rim, your tire's sectional width shouldn't be more than 9.5" or you'll have to deal with the flex on the tire sidewalls. Most performance driving set ups are 1" difference (ie. a 8" wide rim with 9" wide tire). Below I listed for you by rim diameter of which I recommend running with some notes on each tire with notes to go along with them as well: 16 in. rims (for 2.5i, 2005-on) only: 195/60/16 (great for snow rally or snow use) 205/55/16 (OEM sizing which is also good for some non-tarmac surfaces) 215/55/16 (oversized for the rim protection, but very sloppy sidewall handling) 215/50/16 (wider footprint used for more daily driving without harsh gas consumption) 225/50/16 (great for autocrossing, still usable for daily driving all year round) 17 in. rims (for GTs 2005-on): 205/40/17 (only for SUPER FAST acceleration and torque; for autocrossing only, do not use for daily driving) 205/45/17 (only for FAST acceleration and torque; for autocrossing only , do not use for daily driving) 205/50/17 (good for snow rally) 215/45/17 (stock) 225/45/17 (good autocross performance tire size for gearing, more mph per gear) 235/40/17 (good autocross performance tire size for torque, more acceleration) 235/45/17 (tallest tire you could use under the GT due to possible suspension clearance issues, best used with an 8" wide wheel) 245/40/17 (good autocross performance tire size for traction, will need to have a flatter alignment to make use of the grip) 255/40/17 (maximum grip, good for track days, will need a 9" rim to make use of the contact patch and a good alignment as well). 18 in. rims (for GT 2005-on): 215/35/18 (only good for autocrossing use, do not use for daily driving) 225/35/18 (only good for autocrossing use, do not use for daily driving) 215/40/18 (uncommon tire size, close to OEM overall tire diameter, good for daily driving) 225/40/18 (typical sizing, most popular size, GREAT for daily driving) 235/40/18 (very large, but great for pot-hole city driving, may need fender rolling) 235/35/18 (rare size, but closest to OE tire sizing to keep the spedometer reading correctly) 245/35/18 (common autocross, performance size, very good for daily driving) 255/35/18 (very good daily driving size, even better on the track) 265/35/18 (very good daily driving use, but the car wont be able to use all 265mm of tread for the track) 275/30/18 (tallest tire you can mount without fender clearing issues on a 2" lowered car if you get the right offset) 285/30/18 (aka, the "STREETS OF DREAM" setup... the widest you can go.. this is the next tire size I am going for and a rim to match it) 18 in. rims (for Spec B.2006-on, 3.0Rs 2008-on): 225/40/18 (common tire to use and gives a better acceleration since it's 0.5" shorter) 235/40/18 (rare size to find, but near stock height for proper gearing) 245/40/18 (popular tire size for the larger cars) 19 in. rims (for GT 2005-on): 225/35/19 (common typical sizing for 19" for our cars) 235/35/19 (tallest tire you can mount without fender clearing issues on a 2" lowered car if you get the right offset) 245/30/19 (rare size, but also tallest tire you can mount without fender clearing issues on a 2" lowered car) Use these at your own risk, but to my knowledge on a lowered car with a small-spring perch type coilover, it should work and ride fine. The most you'll probably have to do to the fenders is to just roll the lip of it in to give yourself another 5mm of clearance. I hope this helps.
  20. The little bit of time I get on the net with limited connection, and I'm getting my balls busted for the "n" in vender not being it the title. You got me. Pics are pretty funny though. I'm pretty surprised that no one has jumped on this. This is an easy $1000+ sale. Business must be good I guess.
  21. Still no venders interested in putting together a wheel and tire set up? Really?
  22. I'd buy it if it had no obvious issues. Rebuild kit is only like $550. Then just have it port while it's open and have fun. Quick motor if the turbo's good. Hell, I'd like an extra one just to port different and have a different set up to run.
