Here are some great NEW STI pics that I took in Palmdale,CA at the SCCA Pro "Rim of the World Rally" May 2nd. Enjoy.

is that u in pic 3?

Canada pricing.

Is it just me, or is that Brembo caliper missing its crossover tube? There doesn't seem to be anything in the lower ports--a tube or a bleeder. What gives? Did they change the design to make the fluid internally routed?

amdmaxx: That's me in Pic 3. 50+ years old. I have deposits at 3 dealerships since November for an STI. We'll see who really comes through with MSRP. I presently own a '89 Mustang GT and a '74 Pantera. You don't have to grow up.

I live in my own little world. It's okay, though, they know me there.

Hey neisius: I WAS THERE MAY 3RD, ALSO. Top of Spunky Canyon Road in the Angeles National Forest. 2.5 mile walk (one way) rain, 35-45 mph wind, temp in the mid 40's. Soaking wet from 1 pm till 5 pm (delayed race) and didn't see one car, as like most people, I finally gave up. It was, uh, . . . . . interesting.

I must have been standing right next to you. I was up the hill to the right of the main road. I had on a cheap clear Acura poncho and white pants/shoes...now a nice muddy color

I found out the reason for the delay

In order to help one of the course workers who suffered from hypothermia because of the cold and rainy weather, the EMT's were forced to go backwards down a stage, resulting in the cancellation of stages four and five for the ClubRally competitors. The downpour and cold temperatures not only caused worker problems, but made the stages that much more slippery and rough. However, spectator area marshall Gary Gooch, a former ProRally champion himself, reported that several hundred hearty fans turned out to watch the cars struggle down stages three and five.
