@JJBerk and I have a plan for the wrx but we're lacking a Subaru flag. idk how a fan grrl ends up flagless but its a thing. Anyone have one for sale or loan for the trip up & back to ECM?

Im back .

Prefer someone local to Seattle however shipping is fine. Need it for a week or so for the East Coast meet.

@m sprankwhat's black plastic on roof?

launching engine parts at a racetrack should be a requirement for everyone. Its an experience you just can't walk away from. Its been more than a decade and I still run into ppl asking about it and the resulting fire.

the jdm forester sti 6mt was, theoretically, good for 200mph if you could rev to 8000rpm. 320hp driving as you stated, I'd clean it up, replace the bushings and any wear parts with least resistance parts. @Pleides I would opt for the spec b gearing but make 6th gear as over drive as I could, mpg is mpg. Even on the 86, I skip shift to 6th gear and cruise as soon as I can. Unless Im being irresponsible, then 3rd gear only. Get hardened gears? Micro-finish any parts that add drag? Stretch goal - powder finish the outside sti pink

if im going to drive a wagon again , i want a nice one. Mrs Boxkita is really hammering on me to sell the 86 and buy another Tacoma. The stadium truck feel was fun for awhile until I realized I was more in love with the "no work required before driving" experience than the actual truck.

i have enuf ecm shirts, still haven't worn all the ones from last year. does anyone want xl t-shirt? a sharpie should fix the date problem. Just need a "4" sticker to update the window sticker

idk who brought the Aligash white but I'd have another of those. Isnt @KZJonny working on a special ECM 24 beer? Or was it he was emptying the warehouse again?

tldr; i should have fixed my wagon instead of selling it. my weekly perusal of the cars for sale was frustrating. no 6mt rbp wagons for sale with relatively recent updates. Someone has to have one languishing in their garage... gr86 tires are down to the wear bars. New tires means new wider wheels. then supporting suspension bits. The car has been fun, but it might be time to get an old man pickup and watch from the sidelines.

Next driver skills event happens July 27 at bremerton motorsports park in bremerton. Sponsored by Audi.

@JJBerk says we're thursday to Monday. When yer a passenger, you leave when the boat leaves.

when ads show up, i close 8 million tabs on my phone and log in again. fixes every time. i think its a safari problem as it happens on other sites too

Im old and have back issues. when you lift the tail flap, the space in front of you is the trunk area. In the wagon, its a 1/4 yard of dirt. In the gr86, its 2 small bags of groceries. I'm guessing shoveling dirt in the wagon leads to the absurdly small trunk space in the 86. If my life didn't have drama, i'd be a still life.

speaking of which, i need to book my flight to baltimore.
