Another great day of autocrossing, hopefully pics will be up on our local WNY site tonight.

I may be getting some Gram Light 57c wheels for an INSANELY low price. Hopefully all goes as planned.

Thanks man. I'm in STX, so I'm up against 2.0 liter WRXs, Integra Type Rs, Minis, R32s, and a few others.

Thanks! I'm not sure if every region has rally, but yea, it's an awesome time.

Here's one pic from the auto-x yesterday, I'm sure there will be more.

Few more pics from the auto-x. The site we were at is awesome. It's the Seneca Army Depot, an old air force base, and we get the runway. It's about 2 miles long, and has a turn around and everything, really bad ass.

Default Bugeye is gone again, 911 is back.

Well, the past few days the car has been making an odd clicking noise when I turn. On my old '97 LGT I had the same problem, turned out to be the front axle. So, I'll be taking it to Albany tomorrow, ordering a new axle, and doing other maintenance (gear oil, oil change, diff fluid, etc.).

So, this means it's Porsche time once again for me!

The 911 is back, and oh boy did I miss it. It doesn't have the Fabspeed headers anymore, but, it's still catless, so it's LOUD. Car seems to be faster for some reason. I'll take pics soon, need to wash it, going to try and wax it.

Did an autocross at a local kart track two weeks ago, was a grand old time. The 911 loves to kick out everywhere. First in ASP, third in bump class.

Word is, my car has been done for quite sometime, and the 911 will be leaving the first weekend of August.

Took the 911 back this past Friday, and came back Saturday with the Subaru. I miss the 911 a little, but don't miss the attention, the noise, or the lack of A/C. 6th autocross of the season was Sunday, huge turnout, 2 accidents. First was a Cobra who slid off the course into a curb blowing his whole rear end out. Next was an Exige, ran into the same curb, oil everywhere, big mess.

I'll get pics up a little later, once I get them uploaded onto the Bucket.

Default Re: ACHA's journal; bye bye Porsche, hello Subaru.

2 weeks ago was another autox event at SeAD. Car is still running strong, and I'm in 4th place in STX class.










This past Friday, I drove to a friend's house-warming party in Doylestown, PA (Philly). Sunday, on the way back, I stopped at an Exxon along I-81. I went to back out after getting gas and hit a large concrete cylinder barrier. Dented the car up pretty well, as well as the bumper. Insurance will take care of it.
