ctrudel24 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Anyone in the Burlington area looking to do some cruising/meet up type events? Ideally would love to find some local people to go to a track day with. Don't think their is anything in the Burlington area but am willing to drive 4-5 hours for it.

vtbimmer Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 There is a subaru group that meets in Essex jct. Also check out the green mtn. Chapter bmwcca. Good bunch of people and there are some track events at lime rock that we pair up with the ny patroon chapter to run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

massdrewski Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 We're around. I work too much to go to events. Sure you've seen me cruising. Or at least my waffle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctrudel24 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 I was doing some pulls over on Shelburne Road last night around 7. Was going against my room mates RSX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instanced Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 What are you, an idiot? X2 There was even an article in the news about the crackdown towards "aggresive" drivers... I drive through burlington everyday (well around it... 189 to 89)... occasionally you'll see me in b-town but i try to avoid that place... used to go do the track thing, but i can't afford to anymore (and I don't track my subaru... tracked my m3 a little when I had it) lookup 802subaru.com That's the subaru vt forum... they have weekly meetings... I've gone to a few but I kinda stopped goin... winter does that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVT_Dan Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 There are lots of people who hang out and go to tracks in the Burlington area. We tend to go up to Napeirville dragway, or over to SLMP raceway for track sessions. sccv.org also holds a lot of autocrosses. hillclimb.org runs all the Vermont and NH hillclimbs.

massdrewski Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Side issue, but with all the 802 eyes on this thread, figured I wouldn't make a new one. My leggy threw a cel my first one. Anyone in the Burlington/O.N.E, area and have a scanner? Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massdrewski Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Done and done. Thanks for the help . It threw a 304, checked the spark plug and saw that the boot had popped off. That explains the misfire! In the end, 802 pulled through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alegend90 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Although technically in the NE kingdom area of NH, I am still in Burlington/S Burlington a few times per month. I lived over there in 2008-2010 before moving to Nh for work. I might be willing to come over for meets/events if I see some on here. ALSO: I need to get my T-belt/waterpump/thermostat replaced for 105k service and my rear wheel bearing. Anyone know reputable Leggy friendly shops in the area? There is nothing over here in NE Kingdom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

massdrewski Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Check out "twisted wrench". I've heard good things and the techs are pretty knowledgable. It's basically a privately owned dealership, minus the sales crew. And cars for sale. Located in the industrial area near the base entrance in sb.

massdrewski Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I'm just shy of 100k. Anyway to check too see if the dealer would replace them all???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alegend90 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I'm just shy of 100k. Anyway to check too see if the dealer would replace them all???? I called a dealership here in NH that told me I would have to go through SOA to get info about whether or not it would be covered under warranty. I'm not sure that's the normal route to go, but I was given this number to see: 1-800-subaru3. Charlie at Six Star Motors knows his shit. Up in Colchester about 2 minutes once you get off the exit ramp by Costco. Contact info and address found here: I know exactly where this is! I just emailed them about 105k service.

Contact info and address found here: http://www.6starmotors.com/Contact-Us.php I'm already impressed with this shop. I was able to schedule an appointment within a weeks time, and they quoted me a pretty good price for the work I need done. I'd say it's also a good sign of familiarity with Subarus when the guy i spoke to told me that he wont be around much because he will be away at a rally event lol. Thanks again!
