I have the most unreal temptation to bring the STi out for a ride today…
The roads didn’t look salty yesterday while I was out,
everything is still kinda frozen,
the weather next week is good enough to wash & detail her again,
she looks so lonely under that cover in the garage.
should I leave her or bring her out for a rip?

its a subaru… it will do one of 3 things for you…
1.) blow up causing you to spend 5k$ to put a built motor in her
2.) catch fire while you are out driving causing you to lose your investment
or
3.) get really dirty like a race bred rally car should and it doesnt fuckin matter the weather…
those are the options. choose wisely

If I ride my bike before you drive your rally because of weather, you got issues.
With that said, rode my bike in every month but January so far. :tongue

I went out yesterday doing some mountain road scouting; The sunny weather is too good to pass up, even if it is still freezing. I can’t wait for April to arrive…

Just got back… that was excellent.
The look on that troopers face when I shot through the round a bout was priceless too.
and she is still pretty clean, odo is up to 520 miles now!
time to put on a down pipe and retune her!

trust me when i say wait til you have a catback to go on with the downpipe. the downpipe helps with spool but feeding it into a stock catback is a true bottleneck…

Thermo-dynamics says other wise:
3" dia, hot gas, PV = nRT, as T drops the other side of the equation needs balance, easier to reduce volume by dropping pipe diameter, keeps pressure and gas velocity constant, helps reduce bacpressure, helps get exhaust away.
Alot of people arque both sides, at one point we made a MatLab flow model that shows the 3" -\> 2.25" step to work better, I gotta find that.
