RobE Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Those are some badass pictures. Looks like it was a lot of fun. Sooooo.......Howd you do? http://newenglandsubarus.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOXRPWR Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 Ran consistent 1:52 lap times in the first two sessions. Then started hearing a loud clanking coming from the rear end. Had a good idea what it was. On Friday, Jose changed my brake pads and lines. He noticed my left rear shock seal was caput. Oil lathered all over it. Seems a deep pot hole took it out. During hard loading on the left side it was clunking badly. No tire rubbing or hitting the bump stops. It just became too risky to keep pushing it hard. So the day was cut short. Oh well, that's tracking!!! I highly recommend running the Road Coarse at Willow. Its way more fun and thrilling than the Streets. I was running 95% of the time between 4th and 5th gears. Only two tight turns required 3rd gear. Nothing quite as nail biting as holding 100 mph through Turn 8 for what seems like an eternity. That turn keeps going, and going, and going.......

colatkitty Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Glad you had a good time Kevin , and nice pictures! I wasn't able to make it this time. My car is out for 3 weeks... sent my turbo back to Deadbolt for a rebuild. I'll be back full force in a few months once the temperature cools off a bit.

BoxerGT2.5 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Did you beat the Rx-8? Those guys have a real complex about being slow, not to mention their issue with the Speed 3 and 6 being faster (they feel Mazda screwed them). All they have to hang their hats on is the looks and handling. My go over to the 8 boards and search for any recent suicides. OBAMA......One Big Ass Mistake America!

BOXRPWR Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 the RX-8 guy was cool. he came over and talked about the cars. he seemed genuinely pleased with his RX. I did pull him pretty good on the straights but his RX did hold speed well through the long sweeping turns. I am more thrilled than ever with my Speed3. The handling, suspension and powerband work well in harmony. Having a front LSD is really sweet. The ability to pull hard early in turns without excessive wheel-spin is great.
