super_usdm Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Hey Everybody - As the title states.. Anyway my second post is coming soon so I can see what this is all about. I am moving from Northern CA to Columbus area in a couple months. Looking for local racing and track day events. My car is below, a few specs: 2003 WRX E85 360whp Original owner http://i1036.photobucket.com/albums/a447/jason_walker6/IMG_3990_zpspmi49wid.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 You found the right place, Jason. The scene slows down a lot here in the cold weather, but the bench racing and build threads more than make up for it. Welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Welcome, and great intro. Thank you for reading the forum rules and making a quality post. How did you hear about CR?

Smokey Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Best intro in quite a while! What brings you to Columbus? Good news is you'll be about an hour from Mid Ohio if you're looking for track days at a quality facility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super_usdm Posted November 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Thanks everyone. How did you hear about CR? I was referred here by a guy named Jason... something... on a Subaru facebook page after I started asking about emissions requirements in Columbus (or lack thereof to my pleasant surprise). He's got an old GTX. What brings you to Columbus? Good news is you'll be about an hour from Mid Ohio if you're looking for track days at a quality facility. My Fiancee got a job out there with Victoria Secret. So I am following and will be looking for work once I make my way over. Definitely looking forward so checking out MOSCC. wanna race a stock mustang I never turn down a chance to embarrass a V8. But we will have to set it up offline to avoid the ban-hammer.

hpfiend Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Welcome to CR! No offense but how much of a time bomb is an 03 WRX with ~435 flywheel hp? I am asking as I have very strong interest in some day building a factory five 818. If the manual transmission swap isn't too difficult, I have been daydreaming about putting the h6 3.0 in my 01 outback wagon in one with some boost instead of the wrx 02-07 non STI engine they recommend. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbus Racing doesn't give a shit either way about illegal street racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otis Nice Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Welcome man. My fav generation of WRX's. Quality intro. +"rep". PS - this community is about racing, but so much more valuable. What field are you in? People around here always have insight. I come here for my news before anyway else. If it's worth talking about, it will be talked about here. PSS - Emissions? What's that?

super_usdm Posted November 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Welcome to CR! No offense but how much of a time bomb is an 03 WRX with ~435 flywheel hp? I am asking as I have very strong interest in some day building a factory five 818. If the manual transmission swap isn't too difficult, I have been daydreaming about putting the h6 3.0 in my 01 outback wagon in one with some boost instead of the wrx 02-07 non STI engine they recommend. Thanks! The long block it bone stock, so I've considered it a ticking time bomb ever since I bumped up the power. But since then it's seen 6 track days and about 8k of street driving, and I don't take it easy on it. The e85 fuel is definitely the difference. Its at 24 psi. Depending on how much power you're going for, you may be better off sticking with the EJ series motors. There is the 2L that came in the 02-05 or the 2.5L in 06-07. You may also want to look into the STI motor. You should be able to get a reliable 400whp out of a well built EJ, more for RWD. Unless you are looking for instant torque or something unique, the EZ30 may be more trouble than its worth. MOSCC as in Mid Ohio Sports Car Club? Why? The course in Lexington. Is it no good? It's the only road course I was able to find close to Columbus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robochan Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 The course in Lexington. Is it no good? It's the only road course I was able to find close to Columbus. Tom prefers parking lots to "race" in. There are a couple of us who frequent HPDE events at midohio. Don't even try to go out if it's wet though, because it will be at most events Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 The course in Lexington. Is it no good? It's the only road course I was able to find close to Columbus. One of the top 20 tracks in the country, it's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 MOSCC refers to a different entity than when just saying "Mid Ohio". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
