I’m still not quite a Subaru guy, but I might be getting closer. At the very least, a long history of rally makes for good porn. Subaru is doing cool stuff in the present as well, even if they are no longer involved in WRC. Check this 1.6L engine which may or may not find a home in the next […]

Bye Bye History

I’m thieving again. Someone recently directed me to Edmunds Inside Line blog, and posts tagged Suspension Walkarounds.

What to do?? Buy a cheap OBD scanner? Buy an expensive OBD scanner that does other stuff too? Just dump $600 on new […]

I was pleasantly surprised today to learn that 2002 WRX had a factory option 17″ wheel package.  That means for me… that I can ditch my 16 6.5J wheels for some 17 7J wheels and gain a whole bunch of options as far as tires go.  Seventeens would probably also make me feel a little more manly and good looking […]

Scuba?


Before the internet, and before I knew about toe-out and LSD and rebound damping I went to auto-x and had fun.  Somewhere along the way my knowledge and ambition began to interfere with wanting to do things because they were fun.  I should be more ashamed to say it. I went karting with my family a couple weeks ago and […]
