Trying to optimize the car based on fuel levels is probably highly dependent on the driver's skill and competition. You'd need to be a fast and consistent enough of driver for it to matter....

Even with the FA20? I've hit the rev limiter a few times during autocross or track and it feels very "soft" on this car. I don't know how to describe it but I assume it's something with how Subaru...

That's a pretty aggressive setup... I'd be more worried about the tire clearance rather than wheel clearance.

This person is using a 25.5" tire and clearance is probably already tight:...

My suggestion would be to pick the wheel you like first, if it has an 8.5" then that's great because you can maximize your tire's performance. If not, I wouldn't consider it to be a deal breaker...

Perrin inlet tube, or equivalent, that removes the factory sound tube. It will net some power up top while making the car more comfortable (less engine noise).

Dialing things back and/or driving better and/or driving what the car and tires will allow will definitely help. As will just using better tires in general that can withstand the abuse.

Spray water on tires between sessions

Are you welding it in to make it legal? I don't want to have to do anything that requires more work than just bolting it in like the Moroso but I also don't want to get protested.

That's the exact section I'm referring to but the baffles that I'm aware of on this car aren't part of the pan so it doesn't sound like it's allowed? :iono:

The closest I can think of is Cusco. It's the same size as 13-16 14mm sway bar except it's hollow so it'll be softer.

Yikes, I've never seen that video but I already knew the Element fire extinguishers don't work well when windy. Despite that, I still chose to keep 2 in the center console to help buy time.

I thought there was something about GL-5 fluid that is bad for synchros though? Or, maybe it's something that doesn't universally apply to all GL-5 fluid?
