Do you belong to any car clubs in Idaho?

I think I'm technically part of IDSC (Idaho Subaru Club) but I haven't gone to any meets or drives yet.

I am also part of SRRSCCA (Snake River Region SCCA) and do autocross regularly. First event of the season is this weekend.

Oh that’s you’re video, rad! I thought you were just posting a video of what it looks like when someone does it. (Sounds stupid when you type it out)

Very cool!

At the Idaho expo? I was a member of the San Francisco region SCCA for about 15 or so years. I haven't done any cone racing for years ( or any racing for that matter). Maybe I'll stop by to check it out.

Being a scca member, have you heard anything on progress on the Gem State Raceway?

Yeah, at the Expo. Come on by! It's a much larger then normal turnout this event, so it might be a little hectic, but we are trying to plan things out well enough.

GSR is currently dead. The owner of the land scrapped the road track idea a few months back and is currently building a dirt oval. That could change in the future, but I don't find it likely.

ive been running headers and a tune on it for years. oil and coolant temps were fine too. i havent looked but im guessing i spun a bearing and it locked up and blew up.i was just cruising the highway, lost power then bang and the back jumped and i clutched in immediately. coasted in neutral up an off ramp and the engine is totally seized and oil ALL over the car except in the pan. i kind of expected this but after i install the supercharger that is arriving tomorrow.

Whoa. Can a simple header and tune cause that or just bad luck?

Time to rebuilt it AOL style; bigger, faster, stronger.

probably not because of either. my guesses are spun bearing that seized or the vvt oil starvation and shit smashed and exploded

Replaced my 16 BRZ’s OEM suspension with 17+ 86/BRZ including the rear sway bar. Also finally got some camber bolts in. I’ve been driving the heck out of it and I can’t get over how much better it feels. No harshness,even more pointy, balanced much better in turns and the front doesn’t push nearly as much before. I’m so happy about it! Found all parts used and spent a measly $140. If you haven’t updated your pre facelift car yet you totally should! Now to find a 4.3 diff

Not very exciting, but removed the trunk lock key mechanism and free'd it up so the key works again. Good for another 8 years.lol
