I dislike firebird... They wouldnt let me run because at the time my windshield had a crack about 2 inches long(on the passenger side)... and they said i needed 4 points... at speedworld i only need my helmet.

Scarier than the fact that you ran 13.7 is the fact that an 06 STi ran 14.5

I'm sure you'll be able to get it down into low 13's on a bone stock car, but with just a tune you're easily in 12's, so consider that as a low-cost option

They require a helmet for 13s? Not here...You don't need a helmet until 12.99 (I think).

find someone with a tactrix cable and a laptop and have them setup a quick 2 step to help with the launches.

Yeah it sucks. Once we break 13.99 helmet is required or you kicked off the track. Also the stock cluth on evos are not that great... Anyways Looking forward to go with some evo friends next time i go. I always end up going with the american muscle guys.

i just replaced my clutch w/a stage 1 excedy about 8k miles ago. i've only launched it twice since. i bought the car w/19k miles & i got 36k miles now. would a stage one clutch go out as quickly as my stock one would?
....i was just planning on about 4/5 runs.
