Before everybody decides to get TOO nuts...
Let's all remember that it's possible to go to the track whistling dixie and get trailered home in pieces without too much effort!

This is a 4G63 (which is noted to be a pretty sturdy engine)...
This is admittedly a car that was running on the ragged edge, but I think there are going to be some WRX's with untuned combos here in the near future (with the Scooby fever/mania just starting to catch on with the underinformed/lazy set) and we may just see this type of thing hit closer to home.
On a happier note, it was my birthday yesterday and I'm officially 1 day closer to dying.

Happy Birthday (belated). I'm glad I found this place. (Thanks Jeff) I could really see myself being one of the people who just "bought what sounded good" and blew the crap out of my motor.
HAPPY BELATED !!
