Took it to the track. Texas World Speedway with Chin Motorsports. This was my third time at this particular track, and I got solo qualified.



I tried driving with TC off for the first time at this track. It went well, until it didn't. FF to 2:10 if it doesn't do it automatically.

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f3XJhBrw4A&t=2m10s"]TWS 4/9/16 spin at turn 4 - YouTube[/ame]



But after that, things went well. Again, until they didn't. FF to 1:15.

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLKVysz6b4Y&t=1m15s"]TWS 4/10/16 off at turn 7 - YouTube[/ame]






No more STi lip It cleaned up okay, though.



I was using brand new Cobalt Friction XR2 pads. They were amazing. Sadly, the OEM red calipers on the series.blue couldn't keep up:




But the pads left my rotors shiny and blue!




Tires held up okay, but got greasy after overheating. MPSS.

Not sure yet. I'm actually enjoying the increased ground clearance for the moment. Will probably replace eventually--just a question of whether I spring for the real deal.

It's tempting, but I have this weird urge to keep things legit, since it's "special" and "will be worth something someday."

STI axle back

Installed STI axle back exhaust. Stockish sound, deeper and slightly more Subie rumble. Favorite mod so far.
