Life Plaza tech corner for realz its free
Ok my PM box is getting full and I lag like crazy to empty it. So let's try this out.
This will be a tech corner for some of us to answer questions to the best of our knowledge.
You're options of people to ask will be the following:
Me...
Keep the questions towards Chasis, alignment, brakes, cockpit stuff, mild engine bolt ons
Our resident Janitor ichinobu in regards to engine tunes what gets the most power blah blah blah, he really knows how to break it down and helps you understand what a real engine tune is.
Big Mike Sigma Pi keep the question OEM related since he has vast experience in this area
Now in terms of getting parts please contact Ferdie at SouthCoast Subaru to getting OE or performance parts
Here's an example of some of the questions I get:
Yes you will need to get eyebolts to anchor the lap area. You can upgrade the rear to an eye bolt set up, you'll need additional hardware.

if you want to go gangster contact Ferdie in regards to getting a harness bar by Rallyinnovations, you can also hook up a cam to it as well
Now people to stay away from in terms of advice

and shoulder belt to the rear seat belt buckle location in the "X" cross pattern.
that should be ok?
Thanks for this thread...I am one of those guys that PM'ed you and I have hit up Ichi on a few occasions also. This will probably be less intimidating than starting a new thread for some of us noobs that need help.
Thanks,
Ralph

Fresh off the PM box
I've been getting this lately for some reason????
Ok it's still all wheel drive. I mess around with my alignment a lot. I set a little bit of toe in on the front of the wheels and maybe double the toe out in the rear. This will cause massive oversteer when you let off the throttle(in my experiences). I also run higher tire pressue in the back so it gets the rear tires to roll over more. Around 38 cold in the rear, 32 in the front. I never really gas it through a turn, maybe feather it a little. I use a combination of weight shift, brake understeer to get it going. I never power out of a turn.
In terms of my suspension set up, I'm only running springs, adjustable shocks, an anti lift kit, and a rear sway bar.
Try it out an auto X course where it's safe, keep it off the street and keep it realz y0!

Just wondering how you do it. I've been wanting to take my car auto X to see what it does. BTW its a WRX not an STI so no DCCD
Thanks!
