ScoobyRuGT Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Went to the VT Stance, wasn't exactly what I expected. In past events I went to there were a lot more highly modded cars. Majority of cars there had minimal modifications but there were some nice cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripstik Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Nah not this time around. Are you? IDK I did it last time and it was a lot of fun but some idiot blew up his car while doing charity laps (Which they shouldn't have been doing during our time on the track. i don't see why they couldn't just schedule in between sessions not in the middle of one) and it forced me to stay in the middle of the track during the entire meet. i didn't get to do anything and didn't even get 6 laps around the track so i was a bit upset. my friend I'm going with is doing it again tho so i probably will and I'll just cross my fingers that doesn't happen again.

ripstik Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 usually sccv has a first timer clinic their first autocross of the season. I joined sccv (the forum anyway) but I have been struggling to stay in the lop of when events/meeting are because i don't use Facebook and i think thats where most of their info is. do i need to pay anything? whats the deal?

bballdude1414 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 sccv has a novice class for people that dont do it that often. They also hold events at devils bowl. When I hear more of the autoX schedule Ill post it up for you guys. My first autoX with them was awesome. When your not driving your out on the course picking cones up and putting them back when people hit them. Pretty simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFloSubie Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 HELLO VERMONSTERS! South Florida Native, college student at Norwich University, and Lacrosse Coach at Colchester High School. I have a '00 Outback that has been loved from day 1 (82k Original on the clock) and looking for many more great years from it. Currently running 225/45/17 XXR 527s, and looking for help with some coilovers. Currently have a pair of Tein Coilovers for a LGT, but they need a rebuild and then will be good to go onto the car. If someone knows anybody in Vermont/NY/NH that can do a coilover rebuild let me know, I have been searching for a little over a month now and got nothing. Here is a picture of the car... Look forward to meeting you guys. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/04/13/d51938d2167b68b524b84953169ec875.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripstik Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 ... Look forward to meeting you guys. welcome SoFlo. your going on the list. probably won't help you much since its so far from you but i work next to a place named Bailey springs in Essex jct. I haven't had anything done there but I've seen the work they do (they mostly do trucks, construction vehicles that kind of thing) and all the reviews I've see are good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had anything done there but I've seen the work they do (they mostly do trucks, construction vehicles that kind of thing) and all the reviews I've see are good Its worth a stop by and asking. Its been over a month of searching and I really want to get it done and ready for this summer. Like I said, I am a lacrosse coach at Colchester High School, so commuting is nothing to me, and neither is the drive to Essex. I was also going to ask the guys at 802Performance to see if they have any insight on the subject too. I read that you guys wanna do some meets. Lets do a cars and coffee thing on Sundays or Saturdays. Meet up in the streets of Montpelier or take over Church Street. Lets do something soon! Also, I am a part of Palm Beach Subies down near my home in FL. The admins have created "Cards" about the size of an index card that says "You have been tagged, request to join Palm Beach Subies on Facebook and come to are weekly meets." We should do something like that Start a "Subies of VT" and start "carding" cars that we see in parking lots, expand our reach for meets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, there is an active Oval Race track in Barre - Thunder Road International Speedbowl. I would bet someone in Barre/Burlington areas rebuilds shocks. Can't imagine the ACT tour cars are just buying and replacing theirs, but maybe. Also there's an active race community down ScoobyRuGT's way in Claremont, NH.

I may give that a try on Thursday. Hopefully they can point me in the right direction. I was just reading a thing that says Tein Coilovers are only serviceable by Tein. I am hoping that's not true, I do think want to have to pay to ship these suckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner is probably who you will speak to there at the counter. His name is Brian Bailey, and he has a very good understanding of all things spring and chassis related. He's been doing it a long time. I know they rebuild/rework/re-bend and make custom springs, but I guess you'll see if he does shocks too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can endorsement from a local coffee shop, say Skinny Pancake, we can literally say, if you cover the cost of making these cards (something like $50 for 500) then we will bring all the business to you weekly/biweekly/monthly etc. It will be a great pay back if we do it with a local place.

SoFloSubie Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Just created a Facebook Group called "802 Subarus" - https://www.facebook.com/groups/802subarus/ - It will be much faster to set things up from there, and we can always have "new members" come through on the facebook to eventually have them be added to the legacygt forum. I would love to have a meet before I leave for summer, even if it is a quick cars and coffee. Give it an add and lets make this a reality. @%1;Ripstick, you started the thread, you started the idea, you deserve to be an admin on the facebook group. Lets do it up!

I enjoy taking like minds and putting them together. I think we all want to do some sort of meet, I think we all would have fun with this, and there is nothing wrong with having some new friends that share a tight passion together. LGT, OB, WRX, STI, Fozz, turbo or non turbo, even hybrid too; to me it doesn't matter because it is one community, and I would love to see 30+ gorgeous Subies taking over the streets of Montpelier or dominating Church Street.

ripstik Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 It would be absolutely amazing if we could all park on church street but that has a snowballs chance in hell of happening, that would be a lot of hoops to jump through and the town would likely see it as way to risky to have random people driving (even for short moments) on a walking only street, but that's an awesome goal to have once we have something more established and if we can prove these will go down without shenanigans. taking over a lot on the waterfront would be much more likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
