Holy ****. 4 Hakkas for 95? That's one heck of a deal.

Drive your car the way you bought it for a while. You'll learn a hell of a lot more about how it handles and how to handle it if you leave it stock for the time being. Upgraded suspension is a recipe for disaster at this point. Plus later on when you're actually ready for suspension upgrades...

The way tire codes work is this: Say you've got a 205/55-15. That's what I have on my BMW. 205 is the tread width in millimeters. 55 is the sidewall height (aspect ratio) shown in percentage of tread width. 15 is the rim width in inches. Once you get this down you can easily figure out tire...

Trying to balance a car on a hill just using gas and clutch makes your clutch sad. Moral of the story be a man and use brake and clutch on hills until you're ready to go. Don't use the e-brake either. Go find a hill and practice until you can do hill starts tied up like an al-qaida operative in...

You won't be able to shift as fast as those guys anyway. Mechanically And if you want fun in the snow, I'll bring out my BMW. The car with the Magnagrips is just a front drive Volvo wagon. I can make it oversteer no problem, without the handbrake, but the BMW is power oversteer. But hopefulyl...

I agree with this, but I also don't see Subaru making a 2 door STi hatch. 2 door hatch is the way to go for sure, but I believe that overall a 4 door hatch would have been the best compromise. It has better aero, but it's also more usuable where it's a 4 door. Instead of homologating a special...

Eh. Ford and Subaru have gone seperate ways with their stuff. The current gen STi was originally designed to be more competitive in the WRC due to the better aero properties of the hatch design, and the slightly shorter wheelbase. But once Subaru decided to pull out of top level WRC, development...

I live in Woolwich. It's about a 30 minute drive from Yarmouth. North. I come through Yarmouth most days on my way home from school. But by that point I'm ready to murder everyone so probably isn't a good time to meet up. But it could be arranged. Hell I could meet you at Bruce's and we could...

Probably not. Insurance dictates what happens at these events, and so more than likely you'll need a waiver to watch.

Maybe if there's enough of a response from America, the FIA would consider holding a round in America. I know that back in 2001 Cherokee Trails? Rally in Tennessee was under official FIA observation as a potential future FIA round. Even though the current WRC is a joke compared to what it was a...

I'm with Ty Ty. Rest of the world Ford products are AWESOME. Also, if some forgot, Subaru doesn't actually participate in the WRC anymore. They do have involvement in PWRC in someway, but not full on WRC.

I just went outside and realized that I got Magnaforce winters instead of the arctic climax things. Get the Magnaforce. They are some serious tetris tires. If you go to the rallyx tomorrow, and I end up driving the wagon down, I'll let you see them first hand.

I picked up 4 General Tire Arctic Climax the other day from Tire Warehouse in Topsham. Total was like 360 for a set of 195/60-15s. And they are MEATY. I'd look into those Nate. BTW, my last post was in jest. Just thought I'd tell everyone.

Owwwwwww. This guy's got to be a numpty.

Hey 2point5RS_Dan can you recommend me some winter tires so I can see how long a thread I can start by not going with your recommendations and doing zero research?
