Turbo Miata?

I’m pretty sure I saw the bonnet come up in the first few turns of the hotlap onboard. Around 6:36 in the video you can clearly see it pop up.

The Supra was out before chipped keys were common.

My friend had a SVX with a great sounding exhaust on it. He had someone track him down by our shop sticker he had on the car. The guy was convinced it was some Italian exotic he didn’t know about and wanted an exhaust for his whatever Italian exotic he owned.

Also the door handles aren’t body color, the windshield banner is missing, the headlights are tinted and the wing in the back is yellow along with the different rims. I don’t think they’re the same car.

Is that a side pipe in the top bling picture?

“Upon further review, they did only estimate the driver’s speed and they did not record or measure it on a radar and laser as they indicated on the ticket,” Sturgeon County spokesperson Gwen Wolansky said.

This needs many more stars.

I knew AU got them and EU got their versions as well. I can’t confirm the “special order” status but they did get them. It was only the USDM that didn’t get the turbo until the GD body style. Those that wanted them like me had to swap either a JDM engine or a USDM GD engine. The hardest part was doing the wiring but…

As far as I know from reading and knowing a bunch of people that used to live in europe they had WRX’s and they were not special order.

I’ve been tracking Subarus for 15+ years and working on them for as long. I have a swapped 96 L with a USDM WRX motor in it. There is a 00 RS and 04 FXT and a 99 OBS in the driveway. What’s sad is I didn’t know of the gravel express until today. I want one :(

Throttle all the time or things get really dry and crunchy.

In certain areas it’s also illegal to not be in gear. I can see why as in case you need to take emergency action, having the can in neutral can be the difference between avoiding something and bending metal.

I have fond memories of Flemington racetrack and the enduros. Same deal, shitheads buying a house next to a track then being amazed it’s loud.

I had someone track me down by way of a sticker I had. It was on a SVX that had an exhaust and they needed to know what kind of Italian supercar it was. They didn’t believe me when I told them it was a Subaru.

Inflection is difficult on the computer. I don’t mean any malice and you honestly have no idea how I’m “saying it”. I am aware some do take offense to the term but I don’t understand why.

I’ve been doing track events for 15+ years. Spent the last 2 crewing for a NASA PTD champion. The reason I call it figure skating is because there are judges involved. I know the skill required. It takes balls to go into a turn at triple digit speeds and come out not a mass of bent metal. Drifting is a skill but in…

Hit a bump, run out of travel and bottom out. That’s perfectly safe, right?

I’ve gone out as both pilot and passenger in a drift car. It’s a blast but it’s still figure skating with cars. That’s not a bad thing either.
