While spacers would allow one to clear from rubbing the strut, you can't get "extra camber" from just using spacers, just prevention of rubbing

Just as an FYI for anyone signed up for the Bristol Match, I'm waitlisted and local, so that will make at least 5.

I saw someone mention an 86 autocross FB page. Anyone got a link to it?

I haven't seen a page specific to the 86+autocross but there's decent FB pages/groups for all the classes the twins are in, search SCCA+CS/DS/SSC/STX

The SSC one linked above is pretty great for autox discussion.

It adds some stability to the rules and it'll be nice that someone will be a champion instead of a winner, or whatever.

We'll be fine on numbers. 36 open, 8 ladies after a few hours and close to half the anticipated entries. I don't think we'll double that, but hitting 60 open would be cool.

I think we have a great showing already for a first-year class. (Anyone know what the record is for first-year-class attendance at Nationals?)

Steve, you and your club did a great job with the Match/National Tour in Bristol. The courses were great too.

steverife · 07-11-2018, 02:26 PM

Thanks. I'm glad folks seemed to enjoy it, because it was a lot of work.

Congrats on your wins. I meant to say that in person, but got pulled away pretty quickly after we ran.

Got car aligned today after parts install. Long story, but I found out my car was wrecked about 10 months after ownership. Thanks Carfax for being shit...ANYWAYS, ideas to get some caster correction and stay within SSC regulations? Going to try a new control arm and have a frame shop look at the car. I came from BMW world and they had camber and caster correction tophats for this very issue. Not seeing anything like it from Subaru.

Subaru has always been a "replace the bent parts" mfr instead of "make adjustments to compensate" mfr. Slight bend from understeering into curbing in the winter? Replace Arm.

"Plus, the exclusive CARFAX Buyback Guarantee reduces the risk involved in buying a used car. If the CARFAX Report fails to include a DMV-issued branded title (such as salvage, fire or flood damage, and odometer problems), CARFAX may buy the vehicle back for the full purchase price*. You can also use the free CARFAX Lemon Check to help avoid cars with problems."

Was the car totalled? Or was it simply in an accident?

The title is clear.

Carfax added two accidents to their report about 10 months after I owned it. The accidents took place 2 and 6 months before I owned it. The more severe accident shows structural damage to the car. 2 dealers didnt find any damage. Carfax after 6 months of disputing claims it correct and won't give any more details.
