I'm having some problems with my Subi lately: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/dealorship-messed-up-my-cv-joints-150916.html The problem I'm having is that the dealer won't acknowledge that I have a problem with my drivetrain binding up, which was obvious when I had my summer tires on. Since I just had my new snow tires mounted, it doesn't bind up because the tread blocks give more. Does anyone in the Milwaukee/Waukesha area happen to have a set of summer tires on rims (that fit a 2006 legacy) that I could borrow for a few minutes to show the dealer what's wrong? I can compensate you in some way in return. My other option is to pay to have my summer tires re-mounted for a day, and then re-mount my winter tires... again. I'm trying to avoid waiting til spring, when it might be too late to get the dealer to pay for the repair.

A couple questions: 1. How exactly does the auto-detection work? Is it a sharp cut, or does it take a while to kick in/out... I'm thinking along the lines of using it for GPS navigation on my iPhone while listening to AM/FM radio. 2. I currently have mvigneau's aux-in solution. Do I need to uninstall the old one, or can I simply keep both installed? Will having both installed affect the sound quality or anything? 3. How will the two inputs interact with each other, for example if I have a friend's ipod going to the mvigneau input and the gps navigation app on my iPhone going to the lepronix input, will the ipod cut out and the gps nav turn on when the lady tells me to "turn left in one quarter mile" and then go back to the ipod when she's done talking? 4. How long would it take to get to my door if I were to order one today? Do you have any in stock?

Actually, I just tried to register online, and the entry fee would be $80 for both days plus a $40 late fee, so I'm not going to participate in this one considering that I can only go one day. And that's for 3 runs each day since its a national event.

I'll be there at least on Saturday and maybe sunday.

All the corvettes were in heat 1 and 3, so you probably left too early.

I'm be there.

I haven't done it, but the people I've talked to that have, say that its really good. The instructors will really push you no matter how good your driving is and will always insist that there is always room to improve. I've stayed away because of the price, but there is a WAI driving school that costs around $60 on June 28th. The WAI driving school is more focused on beginners (less than 1 or 2 years experience)... I did it last year and was pretty pleased with it.

Your car would compete with an HS (H-Stock) index. Which means that if Living Legacy had a time of 67.491 in his LGT with a D-Stock index, you would need a time of 69.195 to place in front of him for 3rd place. So there is actually a way you could compete against an LGT, because 1.7 seconds is actually quite a bit. Great job last weekend Living Legacy. I was in Denver for the weekend, so I wasn't able to make it. I will be there on the 28th though.

That's when it gets fun... Its about the only time you'll actually have a real chance at spinning an all-wheel-drive car. Plus the all-wheel drive cars will usually clean up when it rains... all the other cars, especially the rear-wheel-drive cars, need to park it in each corner and gain it all back on the straights, while the AWD cars can still power through the corners.

I won't be able to make this weekend since I'm going to be in Denver. I will however make the WAI event on June 29th.

August 2nd and 3rd are the GASS event (Great American Solo Series) and they are sort of one event in that they only give out trophies on the 2nd day for the combined time between the two days, but you can show up for only one of the days if you want to, and still compete like a normal autocross.

There are a few more saturday auto-x's. June 7th, July 19 is day #1 of the SCCA National Tour but you need an SCCA membership, August 2nd is the 1st day of the GASS event which is always a blast, and then SCCA has another event on August 16th. Tri-State also has two saturday events in September (13th and 20th).

Thanks, Both "James" and Eric are really nice guys also, and they usually provide good competition. Its Eric's wife, Katie, that drives the other LGT that was there sunday. I just recently found out why Mitsubishi drivers always use fake names... apparently they'll google your name to see if you do any autocrossing before approving any warranty work. Next events are the WAI#3 event on June 7th, and the SCCA#3 event on June 8th. I'll be trying to make at least one of these, but not sure which one.

Last weekend was probably the most fun I've ever had autocrossing. I took 3rd (of 9), but the lead was changing almost every run. I led most of the morning, had it taken away for a bit, and got the lead back the next run. Then in the afternoon, me and another guy in a Saab 9-2X (basically a WRX sportwagon) were each taking the lead away from each other pretty much every run until the 2nd to last run when he put down an awsome time that beat my best by 0.5 second, only to have an EVO that wasn't doing all that well, drop about 1.5 seconds off his top time to take the lead for good. Here's the results if anyone is interested: http://www.waiautox.org/2008/wai%202008%20event%202_fin.htm#A

You just have to look at the schedules for the clubs that run the events: http://www.scca-milwaukee.org/Solo/2008/08sched.htm http://www.waiautox.org/2008/2008.html http://www.tsscc.org/ - travels all across WI, IL & IN, so usually has 2 or 3 at Miller Park. Are you going to be there tomorrow?
