  1. More 100 Acre Wood Videos! David Higgins/SRT USA - http://www.subaru.com/enthusiasts/rally/article.html?uri=/rally/posts/02262012_140300/ Antoine L'Estage/Libra Racing - "Crazy" Leo Urlichich/CAN-JAM Motorsports - Official Event Highlights - Meegan Rally Video's Highlights - For the record, Ken won, but it was by an incredibly close margin with David Higgins. I also made a slight McSteak. Ken's "HFHV" Fiesta has a 2.0 Focus motor in it, not the 1.6 that the standard WRC car has.
  2. /thread There's several fixes for this too. Nitrous, Anti-lag, different turbo technologies, ect.
  3. "Ten Automotive Stereotypes that need to die" #7 http://jalopnik.com/5884022/ten-automotive-stereotypes-that-need-to-die/gallery/5 Its about time, honestly.
  4. So awesome, I think I would have gone for a Sedan though.
  5. Sean, Erica, Andi and I are going to Pig Iron on high street at 7. Lettuce know if you're coming.
  6. For funsies, heres the recaps of the last 2 years' 100AW events. 2011 - 2010 -
  7. I wouldn't count on transmission failure this time. His old North American Fiesta was a Olsbergs MSE built rallycross car adapted for stage rally. Adapted rather poorly actually. You can see in the video below the difference in suspension articulation between the two cars. The rallycross based car is a lot stiffer, which hurt him a lot. This car is a Fiesta WRC (basically) built by M-Sport. Ultra reliable. He can definitely still flip it, though. Side by side with our cars, there is really only 1 person (that I know of) who has driven the new generation WRC cars and our heavier production based cars, and thats Patrick Richard. He said in an interview that the WRC cars, while nimble, don't have the power that our cars have (more than likely from the fact that the WRC cars are 1.6l turbos, and ours are up to 2.5l turbos). I could see them being very equally matched. He can sling it through the corners quicker, but our cars will be going faster.
  8. Hes not that good, honestly. Hes just one of the few who makes high production quality videos of him driving.
  9. If you missed it, Ken Block is running 4 North American rallies this year, including this weekend's 100 Acre Wood. Ken's test video - Dillon Van Way's - There's supposed to be more released by other drivers, but I am hoping that Antoine L'Estage and David Higgins lay the smack down on Block. M-Sport's car has a lot more money pumped in to it, though.
  10. My mom's laptop and my uncle's netbook run Linux for this very reason. I was tired of them both inexplicably getting virus'.
  11. I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro, which I like, but I am not sure its worth the price. Like others say though, it does just work. (Although because of tuning stuff I dual boot Windows 7)
  12. Go through the comments on this blog post at LifeHacker - http://lifehacker.com/5054455/best-sites-to-stream-tv There is also this article - http://lifehacker.com/5055337/five-best-sites-to-stream-tv
  13. I will say this, getting rid of cable was one of the best things I ever did. Between Netflix, Demonoid, and various streaming sites, there isn't really any way to not watch what I want.
  14. Looks like its not on there anymore, content gets switched out frequently (blame that on the studios), but they do have Iron Man 2 http://movies.netflix.com/WiSearch?oq=iro&ac_posn=-1&ac_rec=false&ac_count=-1&ac_match=false&v1=iron+man&search_submit=
  15. I definitely just watched Iron Man on Netflix, so IDK what to say to that. We don't have cable and I don't own the movie, so there is no other way I could have watched it.
  16. Same exact thing for me, I paid for it for a month and didn't really care for anything on there. Netflix on the other hand, gets tons of use.
  17. Well, what I said isn't completely accurate. They don't have a 1.6l engine option for the WRC class, but they do have a 2.0l engine which would be legal for SWRC/S2000. But, VAG is already running Skoda's in S2000 (using the same chassis as the Polo, actually). Therefor, its still very unlikely.
  18. I doubt it, VAG is already busy with the Polo, and none of the A1 engine options coincide with WRC rules.
  19. Wait, I am so confused. I thought this Cars and Coffee was going to be at Cup O Joe like the thread says?
  20. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=100631
  21. I wonder if they are going to sell their shovelware video games there as well.
  22. When you go to Sears, you need to go to "The Garden" section to find that stuff. :dumb:
