If it really comes down to it, try calling LIC and ask if they can take it off for you. I know Kevin has a set of keys and stuff and I'm sure he has one for the stock subaru key. It's a little bit of a drive but you can stop off at sears point and see whats going on and walk around it's what I do and some of the shops have gotten to know me from walking around and talking to them

Suspension/Brakes:

- KYB GR2 Struts
- Prodrive P1 Springs
- 20mm Rear Sway Bar
- Whiteline Rear Strut Tower Bar
- Cusco Front Strut Tower Bar
- Whiteline Steering Rack Bushings
- Whiteline Front Endlinks
- Whiteline Heavy Duty Rear Endlinks
- BFG KDW 225/45/16 Tires
- Wilwood 4piston Front Calipers
- Hawk APS Pads
- Hawk Slotted/vented Rotors
When I first started out I had no experience at all. You go out there and they put you with other people that are just starting out. Plus you get a driving coach with you all day long that will help you with any questions you have.

Your car will be just fine out there. To be honest it is better to learn on a completely stock car and make improvements as you go so you get the full effect out of them. I have seen a stock 01 or 02 Honda Accord out there just tearing it up. That guy was having a blast with his car and it had what? Only 120hp or some thing like that and no suspension mods done to it. It was the slowest car on the track but he had a good time.

The track days at Thunderhill are still right around $200. They have hookedondrving.com blocked over here at my work so I can't get to there web site and get you guys exact date or price. The track day at Laguna Sega was around $300 I think. And with that track day at Laguna Sega they highly recommend prior track experience. So if you want to wait until the next Thunderhill track day it will be closer and cheaper.

Cool John. I definently will have to look into it once I get my AP done and over with. I usually mod my suspension to how I like the feel of it when driving on the street (obviously different from how it would be on the track.)

i told him not to go in cuz it was hella dirty..... i was afraid some animal was going to crawl out from under the rug and eat his ***.... then cough up the damn wheel lock key

i think i will call lic and see if they can get it off..... but i might have to hit up a dealer tomarrow morning before we get started.

if you want me to sell your L I got to come take some pics of it, I might be able to part it out for you on RS25 for those rims you got at Sams

I had a change of plans, guys. I won't be able to come to the meet until Jan 12th, instead of the 5th. I'm flying to SoCal to celebrate my B-day with friends&family the first weekend of January. But I'll definitely be there the 12th, and that Sunday I'll also be going to GST's grand opening/dyno day. :banana:
