Figure of speech...obviously they wouldn't be the RAAF in central WA

oh yea guess that would be I-90 haha

I've mentioned this before, but you can see these guys doing their thing from Interstate 5 just outside of Moses Lake WA. Freaking awesome watching them scream over the freeway towards the YTC.

How are we still surprised by this?! I mean it REALLY shouldn’t surprise anyone that VW can’t make anything that doesn’t burn oil in copious amounts.

I know that many think the warthog is hideous, but I always thought of them as the homely farm girl that was actually pretty good looking if you could get her out of her Carhartt’s and into a dress. Guess I’m overthinking it, haha. Awesome shots!

Ah yes, tomato soup in a bottle. It worked well for the early DOHC ej25d’s. But those engines had an entirely different problem, They would leak coolant externally, then blow the fire ring on the HG and suck coolant into the combustion chamber. The newer cars will leak oil externally for quite a long time before they…

The turbo gasket wont work in any way, totally different. IMO, and I haven’t done much research, I think the problem has more to due with Subaru not properly grounding the heads to the chassis and block. If I'm correct this would cause errant electrical voltage to be transferred through the head gasket causing…

Just nitpic-ing but I would add that turbocharged engines (if stock) and 3.0l engines rarely have head gasket problems

I spent 5yrs as a suby tech. HG failures that most people concern themselves with are leaking NA motors, which go all the way to 09. Turbo motors are mostly bullet proof in stock form. I’ve seen more than a few early WRX’s with 250,000 miles and original hg’s. Almost all of the HG failures I’ve seen on turbo engines…

You don’t know me and have no idea what kind of rider I am. I never stated that I “don’t need TC”, I low-sided my zx6 at the track last year and in that one instance TC probably would have helped me out, but not because I’m a bad rider, but because I was KNOWINGLY and ACTIVLY pushing the bike to it’s limits, and I…

Learning how to safely ride on a Ninja 250 or SV-650 will make any responsible beginner a much better rider than hopping on a S1000rr with race ABS and Traction control, talk to any ride instructor and they will say the same. My wife and I learned how to ride just fine without those electronic systems. 25 years of…

Um..No. These systems are intended to enhance an experienced rider on track or when out having fun on a twisty road. They are not intended to keep an 18 year old from becoming a guard rail ornament. Race ABS and Traction control will still allow you to kill yourself quite easily. Just because you have a brain and know…

It would seem to me that they are mostly trying to weed out the older cars as they are/can be a larger headache to work on. Especially considering the climate in most dealership shops now. By that I mean everything is streamlined to the max in order to make money on warranty repairs. Hell most factory training courses…

I don’t know if its illegal but from my personal experience working as a tech at a dealership, most if not all manufacturers wont allow you to sell their cars if you aren’t able to work on them. Ford, for example, will not allow a dealership to sell diesel powered trucks unless they have a Ford diesel repair certified…

Red Bull is a leach in any kind of activity they participate in. Sure they inject metric tons of cash to get the P.R. they want, but once any one thing goes wrong they get all sorts of pissy pants about it. Usually they get what they want and keep on demolishing whatever sport it is they are competing in. But in an…

I know nothing about how to make a tire but it seems to me that if you are asking someone to build/produce something with such finite limits and very specific characteristics you should let them dictate some of the usage limitations. All this with the almost nonexistent testing that’s allowed and I don’t think that we…

I’m hoping that someone out there in an important position is starting to see that open wheel cars are so safe now that the only real threat to a drivers life is this insistence on open cockpits...I get all the arguments about driver extractions but that’s seriously a bullshit excuse. There are far to many racing…

I'm not trying to silence anyone... I just find it odd that you would take the time to answer a question that is not directed to someone who would never consider owning a 2 owner car...Or from the sounds of it a car that needs any real work at all in the first place...but I guess that's why it's a forum...

IMO if he has documentation of parts and quality instillation, this car sounds like someone’s next track car in waiting. Decent to excellent quality aftermarket performance parts on what many would consider the “right arias” All that’s needed is some cleaning of rough edges and verification of engine health and I see…

So if you are the type to never consider owning an "affordable" performance car that’s had two or three previous owners, why even take the time to reply to this post?? The only people that would consider buying this car or ones like it are people that can either fix it themselves or are negotiating demi gods and can…
