One other question... My GF has to buy a new car. Her price range isn't over $20,000 right now and we went looking at a lot of cars. She likes the Mazda 3, the Scion TC, and I like the Imprezza 2.5. Any other good cars in that range that are extremely reliable?

lancer!

Yes Justin you can run any clutch in BSP.

Nobody will care if you run in a class with illegal mods until you start beating everyone. And let me tell you from experience. Beating alot of these guys will take alot more then some illegal mods to gain you alittle HP. We have a extremely fast region around here. There are a few National champions, and a few 2-5 place national guys.

Now don't get me wrong, the evo's can do very well around here. And alot of you guys will do great. I think Colin is in the best position. If i were in his boots i'd just put on a set of hoosiers. (new or used) and be able to compete in a tuff class with a few good drivers. AS is great and nodody has ever seen a stock evo perform in it. I think it would do pretty well.

As Justin and I were discussing, I think it would almost be easier with a little less power on the autoX course. Especially with how slick that course was yesterday, I was sliding around under power on my beat A046's the whole time. Not taking anything away from Colin here as his driving was awesome - extremely smooth and great lines - but I almost wish I had his stock power levels. The only time the power benefits you is off the line and in the straighter sections, which are very few. If you don't have traction, you don't have shizzat.

Looks like its back to looking at wheel/tire mods. Need to pick up some lightweight 18's and looking at the Falken RT-615s in 245/40/18. I know they aren't the best, but they aren't bad and they are relatively affordable.

Its like a light bluish gay - hard to describe but def. feminine imo


- I have to say the Elantra does have a nice stock stereo system. I was jamming out to some Rise Against on my way to work and it completely destroys the evo's stock stereo by a mile.

Its actually not a bad commuter car?
