I have emailed and PMd with no reply.

4wd4me is the owner of the car that Geoff drove this year I believe... so you already have your answer

check out robispec, good place to start

lot's of good reading here in this, and previous year's "STU discussions" . you'll find all the answers your looking for, and ones you hadn't thought of yet. good luck

Picture in picture from Fostoria:

In Car: Aaron 41.8xx clean
Out of Car: Brian 41.81x dirty (last slalom, drivers side front wobbles cone, stays up.. around second 41-42)

This is a PERMANENT course, cones marked with paint. They keep track records, etc. STU Record is a 41.2xx from a local national champion... so in less than ideal conditions... We were pretty content.

Top Gear Test Track challenge!~!1

Just got back from my first event with the rear diff fixed. That is by far my favorite mod to the car so far

can you guys that have driven the 8 plate refresh and any sort of aftermarket 1.5 way provide input on any behavioral tendency differences? ie on off throttle car behavior

Great Andrew, hope to at least keep you honest if you come run in OVR much... Mike Smith will keep us pushing as well in his budget built 04 STi... I know I will be down quite a bit of power from the IX... but will be good to have another fast driver in STU in the state and OVR/NWOR region(s)...

Hit me up Andrew, curious what year/trim you are going with... I have been pondering a more dedicated autoX evo as well...
