Bought side skirts and I hope it doesn’t lead to all the additional parts.

I hate the warning print on the visors. Covered with carbon wrap and an STI sticker. He who has the most STT badges wins��

Nice. Now you can say you have lightweight carbon fiber STi visors. Every gram matters

Except that the STi logo will appear upside down to those outside when the visor is in use.
I'd grade it A for effort but F for execution.

I wear sunglasses and have never used the visors. Plus that STI decal can help reduce the torque dip

But it’s a good point and if anyone does it they can take your advice.

Rallycross was SO MUCH FUN. However I think I'll be back with something I care just a bit less about. I had a little mishap where I cracked my bumper and ripped out my fender liner. Everything fip tied back up without issue, and I'm less worried about it than I thoguht I'd be. I guess I just consider them battle wounds instead

Seriously.

Appliances, TV energy labels, mattresses, etc all have tags you can remove.

Why not just have tags that are easily removable like the one that hangs from the glovebox on new cars?

I don't know if drivers in the States suffer much from "new" car syndrome, where the owner goes to great lengths to keep every trace of protection and stupid stuff that normally is removed via the PDI on the car. I've seen this taken to the extreme on my travels in China and South Korea, where I was seeing tiny foam blocks stuck to the side of cars.. Cars that were clearly a few years old!! Having flappy warning signs in the car will be so frustrating!!

I actually had an Impreza wagon a few years ago that I bought specifically to rallyX in, but the timing of it never really worked out. Events I had signed up for got delayed due to flooding, or whatever other reason, and I never got to. I do have my old integra though..
