Glad you're ok as well as the car (for the most part). Thanks for posting! I for one hope you don't stop...

Well, shit! Glad it wasn't any worse, and you're okay.

I know the pain! Damn brown tailed rats jump out of nowhere.

Whelp, I can no longer edit my posts after the new "upgrade".

-_-

That is seriously the most annoying part dude.

Looks like we convinced the new Admin to allow editing for journals, so that's back on.... now to get them to enable it elsewhere...

Small update:

Car has the winter wheel/tires back on it and is parked for the winter. We got a foot of snow in the Detroit area and now it's just salt city.

Did some other inspecting and it looks like I needed a turbo inlet, so I bought a brand new OEM "Spec C" one, which is the same as the JDM V8 inlet. I'll swap it out along with the VF42 I have sometime over the winter. I have a whole list of things on the whiteboard in the background to get done this winter... valve cover gaskets, hub bearings, tooooning, etc..

Update on the deer hit: Picked up a brand new door and fender. I'll have to get the USDM moulding holes filled in, but it was a pretty damn good deal. Not SUPER excited to swap every little trim piece over to the new door, but it is what it is.I'm just happy to have the parts. Should be able to kick off that work the week of Thanksgiving.

Unrelated to Subaru update: I bought an RX-8! This will be the new race car. It can be beat up without caring too much, unlike the Impreza. I think I'll still take this to the track, but the focus will be on the RX-8 for racing for now!

RX-8 are cool, they handle really well. Its just too bad they have such a crappy motor, I have heard of some shitting the bed as early as 60K miles. Nothing an LS swap cant fix tho

I heard you on wanting a car to use at the track that you can thrash on and not care.

Oh it will stay a rotary. I have no desire to make custom parts and spend lots of time making something work.

Race it, break it, fix it, repeat. Rotaries are easy to rebuild, easy to work on in car, and love to rev. All things racecars need.
