  1. Option #3

     

    Getting into the HPDE hobby should be done in your current car. Just be sure the brakes and tires are better than 50%

     

    Your first few events will be learning lots of things that modifications or upgrades will diminish. Learn the lines, braking and acceleration zones and get confident in a stock car, then transition with small mods at a time. Don't add another mod until you've learned to get the most out of the previous one.

     

    And be warned...track days are a rabbit hole...but they are oh so fun.

  2. Purchased 2015 Legacy new June 2015

    Replace windshield for a crack with no obvious chip/reason August 2015

    May 2015 Replaced windshield is cracked for no apparent reason. Dealer says it is a stone chip, and will not cover under warranty.

     

    2 windshields in less than 2 years? I know there is a documented problem, has anyone else had experience getting their dealer to take responsibility?

     

    Appreciate any information or others experiences. Thank You.

     

    The dealership has no responsibility except to perform warranty repairs on your vehicle. The warranty only covers defects in materials or workmanship.

     

    Considering the windshield is impacted daily by everything from sand, dirt, wood chips, pebbles and rocks at speeds up to at least highway speeds, it should not be surprising that they get chipped and/or cracked regularly. These are all called outside influences and are NOT a defect.

  3. ^ lemon laws apply to any car that is still under manufacturer warranty and depending upon when they bought their car, they may still be under that warranty.

     

    Not true, it is not tied to the warranty at all. Each state has their own rules and people should check with their states Attorney General to see what qualifies as a lemon in their state.

     

    In Florida, a "Lemon" can only be claimed within the first 24 months after the date of purchase.

  4. buy reinforcements for the mounting points. With the 20mm bar you will bend the stock mounting points if you use the twisty roads aggressively. I installed the AVD ones as you can see here:

    I auto-x & track my car....aggressively...never bent any sway bar mounts or brackets...
