ive had interesting luck at stewarts but lonnie and wally in the parts area are always super nice, always helpful, and hilarious to talk w/
gee that wouldnt be the guy that closed my cf hood on the last wrx from full open height as i was walking into the bay would it? or the one that got pissed working on ricky's would it. hahahaha

What time?

On the plus note my new exhaust came today, and my rotors, picked up a floor jack and some jackstands. Going to change the exhaust and rotors soon, raise the car up to almost stock height. If i do that I need to figure out what to do about a new alignment. What do you other guys do that have coil-overs?

I'm also getting a fun CEL of "Coolant below normal operating temperature" so I have a new thermostat on the way. Then I can think about the new clutch lol.

6PMish sound ok with everyone?

I'm a fan of Firestone's lifetime alignments, most places will honor 2-3 alignments per year and work with you in terms of toe/camber as long as your not asking for something too far out of spec.

When you check in, ask them about the next sale or speacial, at that point they will usually do a discount.
That's what I did and I think I ended up paying around 110ish.

^^^ same, what do you guys think of automatic car washes, any you like better? I used to use the car wash at Rosaures with my evo but it started scratching the paint. I'm not sure about the touchless one, i've heard it can actually be worse then a normal one.

only do that in the winter but very very seldom. I always hand wash at home only way to get her clean... plus i get to see all the new nics in the front end due to the fuljksdafljklsdfljksadf rocks they costantly put on the road here! arg. if your car cant make it on a plowed road dont drive theres no reason to rock the roads maybe if yakima would start paying for repaint jobs/ broken windows it would'nt be so bad............

I agree, almost everyone I know has gotten a rock chip this year, including me. I'm going to have to replace the windshield in both of our cars

i probably out for the ihop thing, well probably be at berts from 7pm on for shuffleboard leauge and tasty brew and nom-tastic food.

for car washes i usually go to streamline and use the minute coin wash and bring my own bucket, soap, and mitt then just use the water.

Ive seen a black one driving around. 06 or 07 wingless debadged still with the roof spoiler. Clean looking automobile if i may say so.

Ive got a question for everyone. What would you guys think about a renegade raceway get together?? I know the Mitsu guys from the area have an anual meet up there once a year. I think it would be cool if we all did the same. Maybe even a show down

What are your thoughts??

I've honestly never felt the appeal of drag, not there is anything wrong with it, just not for me.

Ok so we go into it knowing whos not set up for drag and who doesnt really care. I feel its more about going and doing something as Subaru peeps. Im sure the people that arent interested in autocross will attend just to be part of the community.

Im so down for this. This it will be alot of fun for us all. Ill even get my cousin to bring his auto Wrx so we can all make fun of his no shift run.

Can't wait to see the new lip, I'm sure your detail job looks good too.
I can say I don't think those pics do your car justice, I've seen it before the detail and it looks waaaaay better than those pictures.

On a side note, any snowboarders/skiers/MTB's here?
Always looking for shred partners. Some of us local bikers are going to be do some shuttling on our bikes once the snow pack clears. Anyone is welcome to join, trucks are needed!
