    imprezident08, WELCOME!

    oooh, yesssss, as in stage rally. nice wiggly dirt roads safely closed off, lots of marshals to make sure nobody gets a vehicle onto closed roads. tons of spectators, tv cameras, etc and....you get to take your hand-built rally car that's extra super wicked fast, and go as fast as you dare for...

    imprezident08, WELCOME!

    from the direction this thread has taken, it seems the #1 performance mod mr Imp08 needs is a special hose-out-bodily-fluids interior :whip2:

    08 impreza performance

    heh, try downshifting 2 gears. trac control would do little of what you want, trac control takes a lot of fun out of driving...unless YOU can learn to be the trac control. 08 Impreza has stability control anyway, doesn't it? the subaru stability control is actually pretty good, it will save...

    Panasonic TZ-3 sits somewhere between DSLR and cheapo point n shoots key thing is it has a Leica lens, big zoom range w/28mm wide angle . 4" super bright lcd screen. understandable menus, lots of modes, from super simple to "you pick everything the way YOU want." 7 Mp, so quality is fine...

    St George River, ideal tides, ideal weather, Father's Day. Me and my dad have literally been fishing there all my life. So....we got soaked, cold, ate lunch in the boat sheltering under oaks hanging over the river... caught.....squat. nobody on the river caught squat, tho the local guides...

    Weird hot idle issue, WRX idles hot @ 5k ??!!

    05 WRX wag: hot day, heavy traffic on I-495. fast traffic, then stop n go for half hour, car is getting hotter n hotter suddenly, it's NOT idling down...first it's 2500, then 3500, then 5000. yow! shut car off. hard to restart, but it idles down a bit, to say 2000. soon it's not idling down...

    08 impreza performance

    subaru has already tried every trick in the book to make the 2.5i as powerful and torquey as possible. aftermarket stuff doesn't add much, so there's basically no demand for it so there's no product available. rest assured that watever you do to the N/A motor, it will give minor gains at best...

    if you want to do a real live rally tour, come on up to New England Forest Rally, July 11-12. Ya won't find more real rally cars closer! Pastrana Block Johnson, etc...even some more or less normal type of guys from Maine will be racing as fast as they can go and trying not to hit stuff...

    Maine Fishermen?

    fiddleheads have a subtle earthy flavor like no other greens. gastronomic nirvana. well, they ARE darn good to eat. They can have lots of diff flavors depending on how they're cookeded. I like em lightly blanched then add a bit of butta and balsamic vinegar. yes, rally has been a (sort of)...

    "Gone Shopping" Picture thread

    OK, so the Viper is def not pushing! Elise looks good, tho that Miata sure looks like it's plowing to me. STick to my earlier post about the subies and evo, most are understeering at least somewhat (tho aspie's is grinding those fronts to effin shreds) :nono: :glasses9: Maybe it's just the...

    "Gone Shopping" Picture thread

    nice pics redline not to pick on you, but the pics illustrate a big question/problem I have about about autox in general... all the photos show cars in heavy understeer mode--even flat-handling cars like the Lotus 7 and Miata. this is exactly what I don't like about autox -- how does heavy...

    finally

    +247 your situation is not Subaru's fault..and it's not even that big of a deal. why make it into one? FYI, that dreaded "wheel gap" you lowered the front to get rid of is there for a purpose--to maintain full designed suspension travel at the heavier end of the car. Subaru didnt design that...

    Maine Fishermen?

    well, I work in the boat business, so I BETTER have one! MY 2000 20-foot Lund Alaskan, built to fish, Honda 50 power. Moosehead, local lakes, offshore to Monhegan, mouth of the K'bec in hairy ass currents, it just goes and goes. Fiddleheads are a strange Maine delicacy, it's the fresh shoots of...

    WBM '08 = FAIL

    What's the surprise here? WBM started out as a fun grassroots thing, and grew too fast for its own good. Org group failed to professionalize the event, and serious volunteer burnout was the result. Not to mention huge disappointment in the Suby community. A high-profile Subaru meet attended by...

    Maine Fishermen?

    finally! boated a gorgeous 17" schoolie on St George River. He whacked a popper on an eddyline, full rush of rising tide at The Narrows...basically a tidal rapids, classic striper habitat. They are the MOST coolest fish, they live and work and eat where other fish are getting pushed around by...
