Tried it for the first time yesterday and I can't believe it's taken me this long to do.

Couple of action shots of my 2002 WRX Wagon.

Nice. I had an 05 WRX that I autocrossed a few times. It's a lot of fun, for not much money.

Going to autocross my car once I get proper tires. Also, going to Watkins Glen for Thunder tours. It's gonna be a great summer :D

time for some suspension mods, you leaning way too much. it isn't right until you get one tire off the ground.

race prepped 928 against a somewhat prepped mustang (lots of suspension mods, but has full interior and a car seat for a kid with "french fries under the seat")



This isn't me, but a friend.

@ sc302: Looking at getting some beefier front and rear sway bars. Probably these Eibachs http://jbautosports....20/i-54164.aspx

@Neu B: No real reason to, not doing anything illegal.

My boss does, I keep meaning to go with him, I really want to! One day...

And Neu B, why? We aren't seeing anything we wouldn't see if we drove past him...

I wouldn't go 22 rear on that car. 24F 20R seemed like a nice streetable setup. Also, the stock WRX springs (and struts) are terrible.

Luckily I'm not on the stock springs and struts. Only looking at that kit because it seems to be the most affordable right now.
