I wonder if that EJ22 crank I keep here is OK? I use it as a demo crank on just why I would never own a Subie cause the thing is so so weenie even compared with my mighty V4 Ford cranks in the Saab. I wonder..the Subie main journals are narrower than my ancient V4 rod journals.. if fact they just about half the width of a Volvo rod journal... What's wrong with the crank you have? Want me to see if its still straight? It has not been taken care of--shop dirt and slime, and would almost certainly require "clean/mag/polish" John Vanlandingham Sleezattle, WA, USA Vive le Prole-le-ralliat www.rallyrace.net/jvab CALL +1 206 431-9696 Remember!

oh, Yep i was mistaken... I went off of : http://www.southwestrallyseries.com/ which says the Nocona Stomp Rally is part of the south west series, but rally-america says its central.  i thought everything on the internet was true.
Still, I would welcome her to come play in the south west for a season, But I totally understand us privateers need to budget wisely (choosing the closest series to our respective rally HQs) I'd love to do the regional cup challenge in October, just not in the cards for this year, Hope you guys do great up there

Nope. He did swap all the blue and silver interior parts for black. But Brianne has swapped all the stock interior back into the car. The previous owner was a neat-freak and rarely drove it and never abused it. Brianne has done some autocrosses in it, but that's it. |

I think its probably jealous of the other 2 cars getting to live exciting lives.
I bought my STI from an older gentleman who kept it covered, inside of his garage, and only drove it on sunny days. I asked him how the awd was in the snow and he said something like "I don't know, it comes with summer tires so i only drive it on warm dry days" 
I felt like i was liberating my car ... but now at 130K miles its really really beaten up. ski trips, dirt road drives, recce, rallyX, crashed it into a wall ... you know all the normal wear and tear stuff... uhm... *ducks* |
