Enthusiast And I had a little install meet tonight. VF52 into the 08 WRX. It went pretty well. 3 hour job.

The kid said it was his, he must have been lying.

 

Nice LGT by the way.

I am not sure who the black Lgt was.

 

The owner of the GTR:

Man, Adam... that WRX is looking sweet! What a difference. Springs?

 

I won't be there, BTW. Father-in-law had big surgery yesterday and we are going to visit him in Loveland in the a.m. Take some pictures, guys.

 

Progress springs:about a 1.2' drop.

 

Too bad you can't make it John, I will take lots of pictures. I am going to try and make it to bandimere next week, you are still going right?

Okay, I will be at the AMC parking lot at 10:30. Legacy is still in the shop, so I am bringing the WRX.

Here is what I will be in, just got her lowered.

Here is what she looked like a few months ago

So is the meet at AMC tomorrow at 10:30 still on?

^^^Yes I know, I have my fingers crossed that warranty will cover it. I should find out soon. I mean 2-2.5K for a rebuilt transmission that is alot of mods I could do to the car.

Update: Burt has the tranny out of the car and opened it up. They don't see any damage to the gears or anything. Tomorrow, they are going to dig deeper and find the problem. I will let you all know what it is.

Burt subaru told me it is definetly the transmission. They are going to tear into it tomorrow and diagnose the problem. They are not sure if it will be covered under warranty or not, I will find that out tommorrow. From the looks of it, the legacy won't be making it to the meet, dang.

 

 

bskey: If it is not covered under warranty, I might look for a used SI 6 speed, since it will be about the same cost as a rebuilt 5 speed. I need to do some research in that area though.

Wow that sucks. Did you make your Dad sign the paper that says you break it you buy it?

 

I forgot to have him sign it. LOL! If it is something reall expensive I am sure he would help with the repairs.

well, my legacy tranny started making noise after bandimere last week. I guess my dad was a little too rough on the launch. It makes a whinning noise in first gear only, not real loud but noticable. I took it to burt subaru today, we will see what happens. I am a little stressed, if I have to spend 2k on a tranny that means no more mods for a while.

Nick, I am sorry to hear that. I bet you are really stressed right now. I hope the damage is not too bad and doesn't cost too much money.

SO last week My dad came to town, he raced my stage 2 legacy (no more VF4018g) and I raced my stage 2 WRX. Here are the slips from 5800 feet elevation.

I am going to see if I can get my brother-in-law to come as weel. I will have him drive my wrx so I can drive the legacy. Should be fun.

Sure sounds good, anyone else in the highlands ranch area want to meet up with us for this meet? Enthusiast, Han?

 

I will try and meet up with you as well.

I will try and go.

Most definitely! Meet tomorrow at 7:15am instead of 7:30?

 

 

I will be there at 7:15 morrison rd and c-470.

I'm right there with you, leftride. There is no way my wife would come. Seems like it would be kinda boring for her... unless she was willing to shoot some videos.

 

Speaking of which, are you doing any filming Adam? Or your wife?

 

I can bring the camera, but my wife isn't coming. So if someone is running a different class maybe they can film and vise versa.

It might be kinda fun in the rain. It would be a lot slower, but there would be alot of drifting going on.

I plan on getting out there right when they open if not before. I can meet you somewhere along c470.

 

I want to get there early as well. You name the spot and time on C-470, and I will be there.

 

caravan anyone?

 

I wouldn't mind meeting up somewhere. I am coming from Southeast denver.

Got my email. Was very surprised to hear that the state patrol is closing the mousetrap to allow us to race drive laps. Good thing, too, since I have plenty of practice going WOT from westbound I-70 to northbound I-25.

 

Anyone know where to get a cheap helmet? The uglier the better.

 

I have a extra dirtbike helmet. Although I am not sure if it will fit you.

 

So how much gas should we need for the whole day?
