Yah embarrassing… so we knew Andrew needed a CV Joint based on the noises it made at full lock. I’ve seen lots of bad CV Joints… I didn’t think it was anywhere close to blowing up. Beyond that, there was some other weird drivetrain noise were weren’t having any luck diagnosing, so I told him to keep driving it… hoping […]
The Legacy is hurt bad. Flywheel? Tranny? Some of the most awful noises I’ve ever heard from a car. It won’t be ready for the 6th, I hope I can get it back to Andrew soon… but it’s visiting the garage now, and has punted the AW off to the side. Just in time for the coldest two months of […]
Winter auto-x number 2. Wow this puts a beating on cars. Andrew’s Legacy isn’t bomb proof by any means… but it’s a Subaru, and because of that… it has a lot going for it in terms of being ready for this serious action. Nevertheless… it definitely left the lot on Sunday, a different car than when it came. Sounds like […]
Winter auto-x was solid. Andrew's driving has come a long way... and he made me really worried. I think he even beat me in the morning. No disrespect to Andrew... but there's just a huge advantage that comes with all my extra experience, and even though I'm using his daily driver, I feel like I shouldn't have any problems putting a better time down. False. Given that neither of us have done anything competitive in motorsports for almost a year... it was challenge enough just to get into the mindset of going fast. Walking the course seemed more like routine than something useful in the end. We just couldn't think about the typical dilemmas faced at auto-x. Some guys will say... "competition... at winter auto-x?" [...]
The mundane… the grind. We’re talking about a move. It’s not as though life in Calgary is bad… but we always imagine better for ourselves. Nippon land?? The idea of living in Japan is exciting and scary for me. I don’t even know where to begin… I have a desire for adventure… but I wonder… for how long would it […]
Rally-x again yesterday. Andrew's BC6 is coming nicely. STRD threw on his CES 3" turbo back on Thursday (we were never going to get around to it) and some tune-up parts were added by us on Saturday. It didn't like rev's much before, and we always ended up shifting way before the limiter... but now, it sneaks up fast, and you wish it would rev higher. [...]
