Is there a preferred tool for popping the ball joints on the LCAs? I read through this thread and searched on the forum, but I haven't come up with much. I really don't want to go at it with a pickle fork. I need to purchase a new press to do the adjustable front caster rod bushings, so I...

I've read through this thread and I feel like I should weigh in here. Botti tuned my 2020 with Ecutek about a year ago on the dyno at The Shop CT. He's a really friendly guy and is extremely knowledgeable about our platform. Obviously he's a drag racing guy first and foremost, but he's tuned...

Nice! The last GT I played was GT5 on the PS3 using a Logitech Driving Force GT lol. Thanks for the feedback. I am very impressed with the VR2 (and PS5 for that matter) so far too, but I haven't been playing any serious driving games, mostly Doom Eternal and GTA V. I would like a driving...

I just got my VR2 last week as well, but my wheel does not work with PS5. Seeing how I just spent about $10k on track time and mods on the real life A90, it's pretty low on the list lol. How do you like it? How would you say the vehicle dynamics compare to real life? Any issues with motion...

I'm going to be tackling this install soon, and there's a lot of very useful knowledge here. Thanks for sharing!

@razorlab I'm going to the car control clinic on March 25th at LRP (on DWS-06+ lol), then a novice track day on May 12th, and another car control clinic on August 12th. I'll be at Thompson on June 10th, and July 22nd (if they're able to change it to Saturday). I'm probably going to do Palmer...

This is the way I've always bled brakes too. Works well.

I am really bummed out I missed out on my free track day in 2021 when I purchased the car. I was diagnosed with bladder cancer about 5 weeks after I bought the car and spent the rest of 2021 fighting it. I'm making up for it now though as I just booked my 6th track day for this season with...

That is very cool and hits close to home.

I had an early set of 441s on my STi and really enjoyed them on the street and in AutoX, although they were more valved more for comfort rather than all out performance. They held up to salt and daily driving very well. Odi definitely knows what he's doing. He has a well-earned, positive...

The first time this happened to me I was taking my brother-in-law for a spin and we both nearly had a heart attack. Mine fixed itself after backing into a parking spot, but the second time it happened I had to pull the wheel off and fish it out. I couldn't see any damage from it.

I definitely miss my 2005 STi, but I was so done with Subarus when I sold it and my 2 other Subarus in 2019.

Yes! This thread provides the emotional validation I really needed when I was feeling threatened by the existence of the newest Nissan product that still uses a 30 year old chassis design. ?

I posted this over on the thread I started on the Tracking, Autocross, HPDE, Drifting sub, but I wanted to post it here as well. Mainly for me to keep track of what I've done to the car! So here's a rundown of what I've decided to go with to run 200tw tires. Driver Upgrades (Purchased)...

Ok so a little update. I really want to thank everyone who contributed and offered to share knowledge, especially @razorlab. I have been reading a lot of your posts and threads and it's been immensely helpful. A lot of questions I had have been answered. So here's a rundown of what I've...

It's all behind me, but I have some other health issues from my time in the Army. I was a 19K in the guard, then a 37F in the reserves, then a 11B on active. I was in the 101st on AD, did about 10 years.

That's how I was with Subarus. Went WAY down that rabbit hole, but it feels good to have moved on.

From the GPS data the one joy ride was what looked like a single WOT event on I-95 which passes in front of the dealership. Not a big deal to me. The other was a LONG joyride with multiple 100+ MPH events. This was at the dealership I purchased the car from a few days after the purchase to...

I couldn't afford a Cayman GTS so I bought something faster.

Hello, decodeddiesel here. A little about me: I am a mechanical engineer and I work in automotive engineering on micro hydraulic components. Funny enough, our ZF 8-speed has parts in it I actually designed and now support in production. I was a soldier a very long time ago, and spent some...
