I was briefly in one at the Chicago auto show and I didn't notice, I'll keep an eye on that next time I'm in one. It is worth saying that the car I drive normally rather low and could probably be said to have that problem, so maybe I've gotten used to it.

yeah, but after sitting in a BRZ they really are hopelessly impractical (so small, useless back seat) also a lot of dealers want to sell the fancy 28k version, which is WRX territory and makes no sense.

Thanks for the tip!

Well, you've got 2 years on me then ha ha.

Ha ha fair enough, I was just making an excuse for my perhaps unfounded general distaste for the hatched body style.

I would call that a great deal. To me anything under MSRP for what I want will make me happy.

I don't think I'm old enough to appreciate wagons yet. The legacy is a good looking car though, wish they hadn't dropped the MT.

I know, I always half laugh at the prices people want used for them. I really don't want a used one because I know what people do to these them. I'd be happy with MSRP on a WR blue new base model one. Time to start scouring the Midwest...

so, how long do you think it will be before it will be possible to get a decent deal on a 2015 wrx ? My old hooptie is dying a rusty death and that's what I want to move to, fingers crossed for before next winter...

I grew up on a farm in central Illinois, where we grew (they still grow) corn and soy beans, so know that when I talk about farming I'm not just blowing smoke up your ass.

yes, this. The problem with celulossic ethanol is there is no infrastructure for the inputs. which is to say you cannot buy harvested alge or plant residue on the CME like you can with corn (or other grains for that matter). What that means is that if you want to make the stuff you have to go and harvest it yourself…

I doubt the transaxle out of an mr2 would fair very well with the torque from the 427. the same can probably be said for the poor little corvair transaxle they're using, but at least they didn't have to fabricate a custom adapter to blow that up. like someone else on here said you're really gonna need a hewland and…

where are you going to get a cheap transaxle that will bolt to one of those though?

It's called thirsty thursday and it was always my favorite night of the "weekend"

The reporting on this is really unclear it leaves out the important detail of revision number on the part. Good design practice it to have both a part or drawing number and a revision.

yep, a runner and a driver, that's funny and costs little enough to be considered disposable. NP all day

That wheel and tire combination is not appealing

10mm it wouldn't help a great deal, no. Thinking about the 3 forms of heat transfer:

I'm not sure about that, I'd also be concerned about the heat the engine valley is not a cool place and the mechanical properties of cfrp degrade in higher temperature applications

10mm?we're talking one end of the engine block to the other I'm sure it's at least 40cm, though I don't see where the motor/generator is on the engine. Yes, I'm sure they're using a superalloy, this is F1 after all!
