Hardcore LS1

18.5 for an STi that doesn't run (well)? I wouldn't touch that car with a 10 ft pole.

Welcome. I started out with a stock WRX as my daily driver. Look what I got myself into?

I have a blue one sitting in my trash can at home. Peice of shit loosened up in 300 miles.

404 on the link. Maybe I'm blocked at work?

There's already a Foxbody that competes in the RA series. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu6cfYtXlVc

It's an '06, so it has the 2.5L. '05 was the year they put the 2.0L in the Aero and WRX. I have to admit I like the body on the Saab better than the WRX, but I like the interior better on the Subaru. My Cousin owns an '06 Aero, and my buddy has the non-turbo version 9-2x Linear, but with a full STi drivetrain and brake swap. Like these guys have said, go to Subaru for anything other than body panels or interior. And, I wouldn't doubt if the Subaru interior would be cheaper if you needed to replace anything, due to the limited run of the Saab version.

My motor is fine after 30K of flogging it. A good tune is the key to making a motor last. The "doom tunes" that people find online and put them on their car without logging it is where a lot of them come from. I know people that put down 500+WHP on open deck EJ205's without problems, and are daily driven.

What community is this? I looked at most of the apartment complexes in Marysville before I moved to Ohio.

Sent this to my buddy in MI. He's waiting to buy until he finds an Aspen White car.

I've seen the car before in Marysville. For some crazy reason I thought it was turbocharged.

I ended up buying a set of Blizzak WS-60's since during the winter I periodically take trips to northern MI and need the deeper snow performance rather than dry/wet pavement.

WRX if you want a quick DD. My advice is to buy one that is stock and spend $500 to get 240-250whp. RS if you just want a point A to point B car with AWD. I ended up buying a GC as my DD after I put coilovers on my WRX.

I got $50 for my one UP cat and two DP cats over a year ago at a scrap yard in MI.

Usually, if being chased by a grizzly, you wouldn't have the time to climb high enough to get above where it could reach you (I believe the highest point a grizzly has been seen to climb is 28 feet). Besides, trying to get away from a grizzly charge would almost certainly induce an attack. And I'm not sure if I'd take advice from a bunch of rednecks where grizzlys arent even present. Maybe they saw a brown phase black bear?

I've done the Import Vs Domestic Shootout called Winged Warrior in Indianapolis. It's a charity event for the childrens hospital held at Oreilly Raceway Park. It is comprised of drag, autoX, and car show. There are usually shops like Buschur and AMS that come out for the import side and compete, but no shops that specialize in domestics. http://www.wingedwarrior.org/
