    Dirt Drive Sept 29(official date)

    September 22 or 29 works.  Glad someone else wants to go on a Sunday.  That looks good to me.   Any gas stations along the route?  My car seems to be getting 16mpg right now.?  It's going through gas like an Irishman through Whiskey.

    Dirt Drive Sept 29(official date)

    Matt, your old car will be following you if this drive is a go. Loving the RS BTW. Now I just need a spare to do the drive.

    BRZ vs. WRX vs. Other?

    Everything these guys said holds water. My modded Forester was loads of fun and I didn't stress about scratches, rust or stuffing it into a snow bank. Save the cash for lift tickets, bike gear and car parts. I learned long ago that car payments and debt in general can make life hard instead of...

    The Official MS Bike Talk Thread - motors need not apply

    Not sure where everyone prefers to ride trails but I've been meeting up with a group every Sunday morning outside Range Pond State Park.  There's a dirt lot across from the entrance to the park and last Sunday we had 14 riders.  There is great singletrack in there and it drains well even after...

    Dirt Drive Sept 29(official date)

    Trust me the forester was fun last time, just remember to find third gear or you will need a new motor like I did. You take the Foz and I'll try out the RS. I vote August but I'll try like hell to go anytime even in Sept, Oct...

    get my forester lower

    Remember that smaller winter tires will lower it too. Those winterforce tires are the same diameter as your 17s with tires. Don't forget that your exhaust hangs low and other stuff can get crunched too. "Drive it easy" yeah right! Drive it like it was made to be driven.

    WTB new Subaru for me: shopping advice/tips

    Sooch:  I've been in touch with that guy a little bit.  I actually want something that's been lightly upgraded/modded.  Like Matt's RS!   Matt: You sir have PM.   Thanks for the tips guys!

    WTB new Subaru for me: shopping advice/tips

    I know everyone is out enjoying their cars because it's summer so they aren't posting them up for sale, but I just sold my Forester and need another Subaru.  I've been checking here, NES and RS25.com.  Any other places I should be looking?  I figured I wouldn't bother with NASIOC because I never...

    Great videos everyone, thanks for sharing them. Hopefully less carnage for everyone next time. That track was tons of fun.

    Meyagi's winter bomber *213awhp @ 8psi*

    Nicely done Mike! I can't wait to see it all covered in snow. Makes me really want to do something better with my peeling paint... See you when the snow flies.

    *OFFICIAL* Snow Thread

    Just put my snow wheel set on this morning since I have a snow day. I'll be looking to get sideways tonight. March 1st and I thought I'd never get to use them this year...

    Tire Deformation

    I thought it was "more cowbell" not "more sidewall". +1 for more PSI.

    Looking for old steel/chromoly bikes (Portland area)

    Check out rivendell bikes because Grant Peterson is into all things lugged and sells old stock Henry James lugs for cheap to use for things besides bikes. I made one into a sweet Christmas ornament. Good for practice! Cool that you have some frames to cut up. I've been meaning to call Nova...

    Snow tires for 15 inch rims

    I have some Nokian Hakkas on 15 in steelies that are available. I'd let them go for 350. Need to go over to the my parents garage where they are because I can't remember the size. They were amazing on my car the few times that I used them.

    Looking for old steel/chromoly bikes (Portland area)

    +1 for the dump, or you could just practice on some thin wall raw stock tubing. Then you don't have to strip the paint, you can just miter the joints and braze away. I'm assuming that you are fillet brazing. What kind of bike are you going to build (eventually) once you get your practicing done?

    Winter Tires - Do You Run Them?

    I've run Nokian hakkapelittas on my two Subarus and my wife's Honda CRV. They work great every time without studs.

    I've been looking at beater Subarus to buy since you started this thread. Way to go Mike! I want to build one someday.
