I just spent 10 minutes looking for you and Marc's quotes on subbies breaking down at tracks.

friend wants to build a kit car from factoryfive using a donor wrx car.

 

ok, if you say so.

 

Good to see RCJ back in the thread. Just need to get Doug back in here also.

There must be something in the air with all these autox haters showing up for autox.

 

fyi, there was sti with a massive blown engine at Glen with NARRA a few weeks back. blown subie at track is just trivial, that's why i don't post about it anymore.

 

eff it, imma have to drive two hours to one of these autox event so i can show fineberg the line.

 

My ginger friend wants to build this:
https://www.factoryfive.com/kits/project-818/
it requires a wrx donor car, and I told him how the wrx engine is probably not the best choice for a stout racecar. He wants to build this for mad tyte handlobraesings


I was looking at
https://www.factoryfive.com/kits/gtm-supercar/
cuz it uses vette motor and chassis parts which is more reliable

 

The element tuning STi has been getting FTD and braking records at all the NARRA events recently. not sure what all is done to the motor, but that thing MOVES!!

 

Dover, Sunday... Come at meh!

 

Is Dan coming?












I very well may be on snows for Sunday's autox.

 

He goes out for 4-5 laps at most each session and I think he's on his 3rd motor this year and they are not stock motors.

 

 

I thought I read somewhere on FB they haven't touched the motor all season...

 

LOL! Not true. Curbs don't slow me down.... they slow down the rest of the racers so I look fast

They blew a motor at Road Atlanta and another at NJMP(witnessed that one, warmup lap then BOOM on the straight). I think Element Tuning runs some crazy engine blocks now because the subie ones can't even make 2 laps with the power he's making.

 

Now that you say that, I do remember him blowing up on the first lap at NJMP. thats why he was in that BRZ all weekend instead of the STi.

 

^ alwaysforgetinsh!t and then try to make **** up
