    I'm setting up for auto cross to better learn the handling of my car "legally"

    Hoping the Subaru guys in NOVA will have a snow auto cross that I can jump in on :D I enjoyed the crap out of a ride along in my friend's 04 STi

    Preparation

    Phase one...

    New Wheels/Tires

    I got a comment from some people I'm going with
    Q: "Why don't you lower it you'll have better handling?"
    A: I need the ground clearance trust me you'll see this summer :D

    Q: "You totally need a better offset you're wide body is making those look rather goofy"
    A: I know, gotta get that taken care of soon :D

    Rally Cross Mods Planned (before rally season starts)
    - Getting a set of Blown 185 Struts/Shocks to make Coil over Insert Set (wanna have stock pair as spares)
    - Cleaning up stock wheels if I don't sell them and getting some dirt/off road bubble tires
    - 4 Point Harness
    - Do something with the rear seats either clean them up/replace them or nuke them.


    Videos and Pictures Will be posted as I make changes and of AX event :D (probably going to mount a camera)

    I hope you fixed your stock seats. Because that is definitely not a safe thing to be doing if they're still off.

    Alright, I'm buying new tires.... WOOO

    Also managed to get 2 tickets! (inspection sticker and BS illegal u turn, but it could have been worse, he could have given me 2 more tickets had I not told him I was waiting on Toyota to get the parts in)

    haven't figured out how much they are yet but I know I can show up for court and get the inspection dismissed and since I don't really have any serious tickets I might get off on the u-turn deal

    But Track side note, I performed well below what I had expected out of the car, but its all in the tires, I went cheap and kept with stock scion tc tires which couldnt hook it so I'm going to talk to a friend of mine who works for Yokohama and get some good track tires cheap :D
