I'm pretty much in the same boat. I wanted to try a stock class build for simplicity's sake but it's looking like an ST car. Keep us posted!

hmmmm looking at rear sway bars.... Stock on the BRZ/FRS is 14mm.... a Stock WRX (08-12) is 16mm and a STi (08-12) is (19mm).. that might be a cost effective upgrade later as they have pretty much the same rear suspension...we'll see

Cool stuff! Has your dealer given you an ETA on when your car is coming?

Schedule is starting to come into focus..

First event for the car..Jun 10th in the Twin Cities sponsored by Chippewa Valley Sports Car Club in Eau Claire Wisconsin.

then I have events about every weekend, if I want, for 2 months straight...including a Tour Event in Peru Indiana, a Pro-Solo in Toledo and a Subaru Challenge in Lafayette, Indiana, the 25th of Aug...Hopefully lots of Seat Time. Not sure if I will make Nats right now..as vacation time will be at a premium, that and I am not sure if the car will meet the Criteria for Nats this year...They have to produce so many by a certain date.... It also looks like Brianne Corn might join the quest in the future as she has indicated an interest in driving it....:banana:

More when I know it.

Bill

Im hoping to make my first national tour event with the car mid June at Devens in MA since it was moved from East Rutherford. I might be running stock (CS?) it'll be at mostly NYR and NNJR events.

Bill,

Let me know when you're in the IN/OH area and I'd like to come check out the car in person. The Subaru Challenge event last year at the plant up in Lafayette was a BLAST. Should be fun again this year... Last year I pax'd 6th out of 91 drivers in a 100% bone stock (including tires) 2011 WRX that I drove for the first time when I pulled it to the starting line...

Anyway, I'm looking forward to a ride!
