Trying to keep up with anyone is a bad idea. It's putting someone else in the driver's seat.

I was relieved that you're okay and the car is mostly okay too. For once the damage will mostly "buff out".

Wasn't sure if i was going to be able to get out of the ditch, but was able to drive out without issues. Must be that Subaru bloodline...

Monster build thread soon to begin. I just need a few weeks to catch up on work... but I am going to start collecting some bits before then.
Good luck. I will be following your progress
Can't wait to see what you come up with. Are you going to do all the work yourself?

I remember everyone talking at Jeffs about your quickness. Pressure to live up to your reputation LOL, (whatta bitch)

I got a good respect for that drive on my one and only ride up with you guys. It was dark, so I was unable to view all the doom that lurks around the curves.

Its very good you and your ride are OK

Thanks.

And yes I plan on doing it my self. May take a few months to complete everything with my work though. However lets just say its a good thing i bought those axles. Still need to find a block and sell some stuff. Gotta focus hard on work for 2-3 days. I sent out some feelers to some companies this morning to get the ball rolling on some of the "harder" to get parts.

Use the nav on the BRZ HU and you'll get a very good view of the doom which lurks .

I've been on that road twice, both solo: one during the day in my STI back in June, and once in my BRZ last week at night just for kicks.

The night run in the BRZ was like riding a roller coaster with all the bumps and rattles that the suspension transmitted into my posterior. FUN!
