Tehnation Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Is that an extra motor ready to go in or did you already pull it apart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tehnation Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Don't they have events down south by like jersey, or more south, that let you drive an entire day for like 300 bucks. My friend ran it by me when I linked that poconos track. Said it might not be worth it, you get 10 miles in a 600 hp car, which is probably limited to some point, (he said he did one of those packages and he couldn't go more than 125 or something), and 2 -15 minute sessions in your own car, and I think poconos is just an oval. 600 bucks, might get you a lot more ride time in your own vehicle elsewhere, I will also look into it. His buddies run a bunch of those type of events, but they are more motorcycle events, some should know about car events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozeRS05 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 The short block is like new, but the driver head burnt a valve. There’s a really good machine shop near me and ideally I’ll have it all back together in short order.

Tehnation Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 If the seat is in good shape, you can knock it out with a cheap spring removal tool from amazon for like 20-30 bucks, or company23, a hand lapping tool for like 10 bucks, and some grinding paste another 5 or 10 bucks. I like adding skills to the toolbox. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His buddies run a bunch of those type of events, but they are more motorcycle events, some should know about car events. I got involved because I'm driving from Seattle to Road Atlanta for a two-day nasa track weekend. It's $400 for four 20 minute sessions. Toyota gave me a free track day for buying my car. Private orgs do longer days/times but price is usually higher because low car counts are how you get extended track time. if you can find a private org willing to host for a day plus overnight camping, that'd be cool. Hosting your own event at a track, for a first timer, can be expensive. Maybe Subaru will cough up a few bux ? 2 Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KZJonny Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Adventurous souls!! I get chills thinking about everything that might go wrong the occasional time going down to the local low-speed track. Happy to go be an observer/helper if things break. But same as above, 500kms from home is a bad place to lunch something important/expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to a Nissan convention/track day in western IA and broke a clutch disc spring. It was a three-day thing (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) and I broke the spring Friday afternoon. Someone had a used clutch at the track... bought it from him for $50, got the swap done by Sunday afternoon, and drove 1000 miles home in time to start a new job on Tuesday. That incident was actually the impetus to me buying my 05... I wanted something a bit more reliable. Hah! 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think between the natural oil burning and then oil slosh makes me assume it's make it 2 corners before spinning a bearing. So it's known for the convoy from NE, I cruise no faster than 70 on the highway. I have a known oil burn rate at that speed. Any higher rpm/boost and idk how many miles to the quart haha 3 Wagon is LIFE! - 265,000 miles and climbing Unofficial Build (Restoration) Thread Steering Rack Rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) @Chronussfound the thread. Thats two members from Charles Town/Harpers Ferry potentially attending. Dale has not been definitive. If he gets the wagon finished, I suspect he would have much more motivation to attend. I let him know that it is not Subie specific. There are 3 modded Subies in my neighborhood of about 40 homes. 2 WRX and a BRZ. I have never introduced myself and live hidden in plain site. Should I introduce myself and invite them???

I'd buy a hat from ya if you bring some. Help take care of that old stock. Nobody would ever know what it meant, but if I ever did run across someone who did, I would at least know they'd be good to have a beer and a chat with.

Something to stick on the toolbox. I'd be in for that, and happy to throw a few dollars at it. If someone makes up a vector or whatever kind of file a Cricket uses, I'm sure I could use that to cut out a bunch of iron-on decals on my girlfriends Cricket (not that it would be weird if I owned my own..... ) if anyone was interested. Just cover the cost of the materials (If they're really cheap, I'd donate to the cause, but I think they're not....?). I wouldn't be up to collecting shirt colours and sizes etc.... but bring your own blank tee, and if one person brings an iron it wouldn't take more than a few minutes to make one on site. Just a thought. I also don't own an iron, so.... Edited February 10, 2023 by KZJonny 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
