Does anyone have a set of stock wheels they'd be willing to part with? I got a set of take off r-compound tires and I'd like to try them at an upcoming track event but I don't feel like dropping massive amounts of dough on new wheels

Well if you buy another home in the area let me know

For about a year until I decide to buy a place of my own. Moving out of my current apartment (which has a garage) to cut rent in half but new place has no garage and my miata doesn't get driven much.

Does anyone in Greenville (preferably near e. north main/wade hampton area) have garage space available that I can rent? I am moving in May and will need a place to put and occasionally work on my Miata

Had some fun last subaruing around Greenville last evening... Also, welcome to the group Ryan.

Anyone in the greenville area have an aftermarket exhaust? Looking at catback options... I absolutely can't stand to have drone, but the factory catback makes my car sound like a vacuum cleaner.

Going to replace my axle tomorrow. Also, making slow progress on my clock replacement mod... Talks to both the factory ECU via SSM to get any engine parameters you want (boost, wgdc, knock sum, coolant temp, etc) as well as the original trip computer for boring things like mpg and distance to empty. Second screen arrives tomorrow. Left one will have ECU info, right one will have trip info and clock.

Happy 2014 everybody!

Happy halloween! Anyone going to CMP tomorrow?

Good thing you had a great reaction time, otherwise, the other car might have taken it. What was the other car? (not trying to be snarky, without that .32 sec advantage, the other car would have you all the way to the 1/8 or farther)

 

do you remember your tire pressures? Curious about running all-season tires at the dragstrip.

 

Yeah... That's not how drag strip timing works None of the times listed include reaction time. And a .237 isn't particularly good either - I could reliably do <0.100 in my previous car. AWD is tricky to launch though, so I was focused more on that than the tree.

 

But, for the record, it was a brand new Audi A7 3.0t. No idea if it was modded or not, but he was running 13.5-13.9 all night. Around 40psi in the tires... at least, that's what it was last time I checked about a month ago

Oops, fixed it. Left lane.

Headed to the strip tonight for the first time. Not too shabby!

The silver wagon:

I'll be checkin out cars and coffee, but probably driving my track rat Miata. It's not very interesting, but is more interesting than my very stock-looking Legacy GT

So which one of you bums owns a brilliant silver wagon with brembos, tint, and parks it at MARC?

Not for the NASA event, but I will be going next month to see the last ever ALMS race.

 

I think I remember seeing your car at the Greenville tech auto-x. Are you actually in Greenville now?

 

Yep, that was me, and yes I am. I graduated and start work on Tuesday

Apparently there's some kind of car meet on Sundays by the burlington coat factory / hooters, so I'm going to check that out tonight... Probably a bunch of ricers.

 

Edit: Pretty decent turnout tonight, at least compare to what I'm used to. Good variety too. Had your donks (lifted 80's/90's american cars with huge wheels) in one area, lots of riced out civics and such in another, a bunch of mustangs somewhere else, some trucks, some corvettes, a viper. Might go again next weekend

I'm Tyler, I just moved to Greenville. Looking at my Legacy you wouldn't suspect anything (stock exhaust and wheels) but I'm on here! It's lower if you look closely. It's brilliant silver, has a crack in the rear bumper and the paint scuffed off all 4 corners (idiot previous owner). That will be fixed with my first paycheck...

 

Is anyone going down to Georgia for the NASA event at Road Atlanta next weekend?

Went out and took some just for you DC_12

Looks like I'll be moving up to Greenville in the end of August, as I've officially accepted an engineering position at everyone's favorite tire company. I'm here for the long haul!

Just want to say thanks to Dave for being awesome and very flexible during my whole transition to stage 2. Ended up taking around 3 weeks after I got my base map to get everything installed correctly (someone sold me an up pipe with a f*%king hole behind one of the heat shields). Just about finished tuning now, couldn't be happier.

 

Would like a dyno run someday to see the results but for now I guess the airboy spreadsheet calculated dyno will do.

Subaru dealer in the Atlanta area, seems to be pretty well known around there. The guys seem really knowledgeable (I've called them a few times to ask questions). Just a bummer that I had to waste so much of my time chasing down a leak like this. I'm glad I didn't pay a shop to do it...

Just reinstalled everything.... Aaaand it's no better. I think I'm going to try and put my stock DP back on this afternoon and see if that makes a difference.

The never-ending stage 2 install! Tore everything back out again today, installed a different up pipe. Three trips to the parts store for gaskets and studs later, everything is back in... Except the gasket they gave me for the downpipe-to-catback doesn't fit. Turns out that the uppipe Allpro Subaru sold me had a HOLE in it somewhere behind a heat shield. Got a friend's STI uppipe for free and now there's no more leak there, at least.

 

Meh.

Greenville isn't that far. Fairway subaru says an uppipe install is about $150.. not sure I want to bite that bullet just yet. Anybody have experience with them?

Exhaust shop said he doesn't really do turbo cars because it takes too long. Anyone in the clemson area want to help a brother out? x.x On top of this, yesterday morning I got a P0123 CEL and the car went into limp mode. Again this morning. I cleared the code and it seemed to act better after the car warmed up... But I pulled the intercooler off and took a look anyway. Everything looked alright - I didn't unplug the wire or anything.

 

I wish allpro subaru wasn't 2 freaking hours away...
