Rallycross Neon: part 3
It survived autocross! It also passed the Fun test with flying colors. Tons of lift-off oversteer, possibly even a little too much. Maybe I just need to learn to drive better, because I spun it once and almost spun it a second time, missing a gate.
Rallycross Neon: part 2
One quick update before I bring the Neon to autocross today. The shifter felt very loose, so I ordered some bushings just to improve the feel. Good thing I did, because one of the bushings was so worn out that one of the shifter cables was just resting loosely on the transmission with only it’s own weight holding it…
Rallycross Neon: Part 1
Thankfully, the Neon I bought is in amazing condition. The only problem in the interior was that the rear-view mirror was in the center console, and not attached to the windshield. Excellent forward visibility, sure, but not ideal.
Rallycross!
So, I tried rallycross, and it was pretty much the best. I drove in my way too new, way too shiny STI:
Sometimes, I get these urges
I kind of want to do drifting. Wouldn’t mind owning a drift missile, either.
Found my twin
wing-brothers, rumble-bros, subi-sisters... “STIsters?” Ok, that’s enough.
Maybe an exchange would help?
Responses to this seem to fall into two categories: 1. My car is too boring, and 2. My car is too interesting (ok, unreliable).
Glorious noise
I was passed today by an E39 M5 with straight pipes. He must have been going over 100mph, and the sound was...
Took the STI off-road last weekend
At least 3 inches off of the road.
I don't know who Frankie Danger is...
...but he’s got a lot of lives in him. It’s not ok to put lives in Frankie Danger.
It seems like there must be a better way to word this:
It’s an email from my bank, not a newsletter about my... nevermind.
Suggestions Appreciated
Between home ownership and car ownership, I have acquired a decent number of tools. Since I bought them over the course of 10 years, I never saw an immediate need for any kind of storage/organization solution. It’s become an issue now, and I’d like to do something about it.
This feels like a trick question...
The menu defaulted to “Ground” and not the free option. Hm.
Battle of the Midsize Liftback Sedans
I’m a fan of this newly popular body style. It’s a similar idea to the CUV, except not lifted, not too fat, and I don’t vomit in my mouth whenever I look at one. The three competitors I could think of are the Kia Stinger, the BMW 4 series Gran Coupe, and the Audi A5/S5 sportback.
Why would you want to sue for getting an STI?
I mean, I guess some people would rather have a Golf R or Civic Type R, but a lawsuit just seems a bit extreme.
