Knight705 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 that sounds so evil....... hahaha btw, what kind of graphics are we gonna do besides SMS? are we gonna spray paint it WRB or ? btw, if when we do strip this car down for racing, maybe we can sell off some of the parts? like the side windows, lights, etc, so we can use that money to pay for fuel/food/lodging?

Yes, Howard. A very good idea. As per graphics, we first need to figureout all of our sponsers and then devide up the space on the car's exterior. Let me see if I can get Andy @ StickerCity to sponser that.... He does all the graphics for most of the entertainment industry, SPT and ESX.

jaymesbry Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 dont forget about me! definitely ready to wrench and drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostjunkie Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 dont forget about me! definitely ready to wrench and drive I'm not sure we want someone who took 6 hours to install a boost gauge wrenching on the car! In all seriousness, the rules allow up to 6 drivers per team. As of right now, we have Reza, Dave, Mark, Paul from Yimi Sport Tuning and myself. I have my eye on another potential team member who would bring a lot to the table. I should know within a few days if he is in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colatkitty Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I just read the article in Car and Driver, and it definitely looks like a blast. It will be a challenge for our car just to survive through the entire race. 5+ more months to go... can't wait!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ain't about speed, it's really more a battle of attrition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight705 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 think we can add an extra gas tank? so we don't have to come in to fuel up as much as the other teams? could give us an edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colatkitty Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 think we can add an extra gas tank? so we don't have to come in to fuel up as much as the other teams? could give us an edge I don't think we need to go the that extent. A gas pit stop is only a couple of mintues at most, and we will only need to pit for gas about once every 100 laps or so. I think the race is determined by tens of laps, not car-lengths, so is really isn't that critical When can we all get together to discuss our strategies and admire our race car ??

Knight705 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 hey, at 60 mph avg speed, that means we cover 1 mile every minute. and since the lap is only 1 mile long, in a few minutes, we can be 4+ laps ahead. i'm just putting ideas out there u know.

RezaLaleh Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 ok, StickerCity is in as well. They will sponser us and do all the logos and decals on the car for free, as long as they put their logo on the car too... SubaruBoxer.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight705 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 cool, and of course. and don't it go as a tax break? since it is advertising costs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RezaLaleh Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I am in contact with Subaru of America and they like to be a sponser too.Fixed operations will donate any parts that we might need for the car.... I am working on them to provide us with 2 complete sets of spare wheels and tires. that should do it. We will have 8 individual wheels as back ups.

RezaLaleh Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 cool, and of course. and don't it go as a tax break? since it is advertising costs? Yup, but don't forget that year has just begun and most businesses worry about their tax breaks on the end of each fiscal year.

elxkid Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I just found about this, and wow, this sounds like !@#$% of fun! I can't believe that outback is going to pass for a $500 car it is actually pretty nice, like the kind of car I would give as a first car to my kid. That thing is going to be a tank compared to the competition I suspect... I don't know if I can participate but I will definitely be giving lots of moral support. good luck! ...sporting the hottest Legacy on the westside of my block:icon_bigg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some stock LGT brakes would be a good choice for stoppers and we'll need 17's to clear them. Falken RT615 tires would be great... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
