Yeah the R32 would be a monster out there, especially with a different Haldex controller. I would gladly take the Justy and someone else's R32..

The reasons I don't want to rally my R32 are essentially the same reasons that I want a Subaru again. I am hopefully picking up a commuter bike tomorrow, and then the R32 will be up for sale again. I see a bugeye in my future. Don't get me wrong, the R32 is my favorite car I have owned and it is fooking awesome on the road but.. I want something I know I can fix myself if I tear something off.

Oh man, the only downside is driving to/from Sac in the Justy.. Haha... I need to find a helmet for my wife too.

 

4 words: R32 with gravel tires

 

so when is this? who's going? i live just a few miles from livermore.

 

theres another thread floating around, its for the Prairie City RallyX on Sat and Sunday 22nd or 23rd i think.

so like 50 miles from Livermore im guessing

 

Um correction, more like about 93 miles from Livermore.

Sorry....

 

lol no surprise, coming from Santa Cruz, i dont know if its a 150 or 300 mile trip

i just put it on auto pilot and go

 

Yup I estimate around 2.25 hours from San Carlos... 5 hours in a Justy - now THAT is dedication! Oil all changed, and I didn't get to fabbing underbody stuff so I hope I don't toss a (the) belt or something. Hoping I can get some tire pressure tips while there. I plan on bringing pretty much what I bring for a track day, and gotta pick up another helmet today..

 

I ran down at Ridgecrest in Feb. for the first time. As far as tire pressure, MAX is what's required. Otherwise, you end up getting dirt under your bead.

 

Yeah, max will do it for me and my awesome 13" tires. Should I bring a full tool box and stuff? Is there a safe paddock area like for track days? I got a helmet, so I think I am all ready to go. Gonna bring normal stuff but if there is anything that is a must have that anyone can think of, please let me know!

 

So here's a quick vid, and sorry for the choppiness of it, my wife was filming and walking at the same time... She stayed out for 2 runs so she could grab some video.. Also, it looks weird since my camera records in wide-screen. Might have to change that...

Before my runs, I was doing the timing and all the STi's were coming in at 34 seconds. My last run (the last one on the vid) was 31 seconds. I am sure people got better, but we left early in the afternoon to save the car and get home... The old timer in the red Civic wagon was flat out kicking ***...

SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Huge thanks to the folks at FRX, it was a lot of fun...

 

the runs were only 30 seconds???!!! DAMN! def need to add some more track

 

It was pretty short, but it was a great first experience with it. I would really like to find some nice gravel roads somewhere tho because it was SO fun to play around on the roads and such when we were leaving. The Justy's a little animal. Good times..

 

yeah it looks like fun in that thing...lets road trip it up north...i know the perfect place (see my youtube link) about 2:15 away...3 hours going 65 in your justy haha...or 60mph whatever speed youre limited to.

I figure i drive to Tahoe to snowboard and pay an additional $60 FOR A LIFT TICKET...WHY NOT drive to some sick roads only for the price of gas? I got the video camera !
