    GD SubieEngineer's 2007 UGM STI Limited #576, The Gentleman's STI

    Other things I'd forgotten to note is that I swapped to Valvoline Synpower 5w30 since my car is burning so much damn oil and I've found several deals on Synpower lately... Namely, 5 quarts and a Bosh Distance Plus filter for $30 or less after rebate. I also swapped the transmission and rear...

    For reference, I was June 2011 STI of the Month. Here's a few from my stash, sadly no non-racing rolling shots. Marcus, 07 STi Limited #576 I uploaded some pics to an Imageshack album. Let me know if you want any raw photos (this is as good as I can upload). :)

    It's been quite awhile since I've updated this journal, so I figure it's about time for an update. First off, the engine was "repaired" "under warranty." Long story short, the dealership approved the repair and I actually contacted Subaru of America to open a case or file or whatever they...

    Sounds like you attached it to the post, as opposed to hosting it elsewhere it using the tags. ;)

    Doubtful, but you never know. The Service Manager at the dealership knows my car is modified (and has been for over 40k). Spoke to SoA yesterday and they opened a case. CSR said he would call my dealership and get back to me in 1-2 days. True to his word, he called the service manager this...

    On another note, I had a good time at the United Way autocross my region put on last Saturday. I placed 2nd of 12 drivers, with the winner being a guy from another region that is a great driver (used to run Timeattack in a 350Z). He whipped me by 1.7 seconds in a 370Z with wide wheels and...

    I knew it was coming, and now I'm at least glad I didn't bother doing a compression test myself. Comp test came back good on all 4 cylinders: 140, 130, 130, 130 for 1-4. Leakdown, on the other hand, was less than 20% on all but #4, where it was 42%. Hello, #4 cracked ringland. Good to...

    So the 8th SCCA AX of the year was Sunday, 9/11, and I was thankfully on my game and took home the class win! The points race for STM is tight, and after our next event on 9/24 we'll all have the max # of events for points, then we start replacing events with lower points. Edited video...

    Me, too! He's taken it to the track before, from what I've heard. Had a good time at Cars & Coffee today. I snapped a few pics of my car once the parking lot had cleared out: And since I washed it last night, a random thunderstorm had to roll through today. I also decided to...

    Well, the AX went as planned yesterday. I was not driving with my head where it should've been, and managed an annoying 5 out of 15 drivers in STM. But this did show up for some extra fun: Yes, that's a F430 Scuderia. Oh, sweet giggidy! He ran STM and (not surprising) pulled the...

    So it's been awhile since I posted anything, figured I'd finally make an update now that I'm not so damn busy. A few weeks ago I picked up my Grids at the local Discount Tire and had them matched with 255/40/17 Continental ExtremeContact DWS. Why DWS, you ask? Because I don't need ultimate...

    Well, last weekend was awesome! I went down to Carolina Motorsports Park for the Subaru Showdown. I did both days of the PDX on the east course. Had a blast running the East Course! Had a great instructor, which made it even better. Massive thanks to the SC SCCA and the sponsors, especially...

    (TN) Audio Integrations 12" WRX/STI/2.5 RS Box & Infinity Perfect 12.1 Sub

    I have for sale the following: #2 Infinity Kappa Perfect 12.1 12" Subwoofer. Sounds great, just has 4 small impression on the cone that didn't audibly effect anything for me. I also used clear RTV to seal the bottom of the sub, and there is some residue arond the bottom of the sub. Specs...

    Ran at the local AX lot yesterday with the local PCA club. Had a good time! Got in 6 runs and both run groups were done in about 2.5 hours. My friend works for a shop that has a Lemons racecar and the owner let him take it to the AX yesterday. I managed to get the GoPro on his fastest run...

    Yup. It's nice to use all the oil and not have any leftover. :D I finally had my Magnaflow muffler installed last Friday. Sounds great, very similar to Cobb, maybe a touch deeper. The shop was, as I'd hoped, literally able to cut off the Cobb muffler and weld on the Magnaflow, as well as...

    Fourth local SCCA AX of the year was today. Pulled out the win of 4 drivers with a meager 0.078 second margin. Started off raining as the event started. We delayed it for a bit to see what the weather would do (infrequent thunder). It started to slack off and we had the first car off by...
