Well, my subie was sitting for the two years I was away. I had destroyed the motor due to oil starvation during an auto-x. Well, I found a donor motor through a friend, it's still the stock 2.5 NA motor, but it'll put me into the auto-x class I like to be in. It's got a ton of suspension mods. Found the donor motor from an automatic car and getting off that torque converter was fun. :P Anyways, my buddy has an awesome garage so it's been sitting there and after a few weeks, we finally got everything sorted. All it needs now is insurance/registration and to have the interior re-done.... and probably a wash. It was a fun project overall and at least I'll have something to drive through the off-season. Crap I ****ing hate winter.

Oh, the stripped donor car is sitting in the back. The guy flipped it on a rally road, luckily he ran away fine... I say ran because a bear was there to greet him when he got his bearings and got out of the car.

My buddy just bought a LGT that has like 400whp or some nonsense. GT3082 rotated turbo, alky kit + all other supporting mods. He's getting a new clutch, but hopefully I'll be able to run him once before it gets too cold on my RC51.

Way too generous, there Nate my man !


Good pic though, and nice work on the race chariot. You may be short a few "horses" though.
hehe

So I finally broke free of my "roll on throttle" habit and decided to punch it in 2nd on the RC-51. Yep, it's faster than the r1 was... well, acceleration wise.
