BTW How did you do at Nationals?

National Championships (aka: nationals) isn't until Sept 2.

I was a ProSolo (national event, not to be confused with nationals, lol) 2 weekends ago. Won the R1 class (race tire class) with a .8sec lead. Not bad for my first time in the car. Co driver (car owner) had some difficulty such as spinning in the rain, red lighting a start, and...oh, yeah.....losing a front wheel. We fixed the damage (minor) the next morning and that's when I came back to win it all.


Some fun numbers from the event:
1.89 peak lateral G's

200 foot sweeper at the start we had a minimum of 1.69G's sustained

longitdinal G's were 1.24 at start

Stopping the car after the burnout before the start we had -1.15 G's.

3.2s 0-60...but the results are skewed as we were already turning at 1G when we hit 60 so we weren't in a straight line anymore.

Fastest straight line speed was 2.5s 0-55

The videos show the motor jumping a lot, I don't want to be rapping my header into the mount but am not ready to go to new mounts just yet... I just noticed my only stock rear arms are the ugly stamped trailing arms... project creep could really get rolling here if I'm not careful

Anyone got a source for the rear sway bar bushings and mounts? I'm having trouble locating mine. I pulled the donor apart a year ago and I can't seem to locate. Perhaps they were rusted to crap?

Stock motor mounts in a stock subaru makes the motor rock back and forth like crazy.

I got my aluminum arms (the 2nd pair) for $20. Every now and again someone on ebay doesn' tknow what they have.

Check local subaru clubs for swaybars. Offer them $25. Most can't sell them and would take almost anything. Brackets will be harder to comeby.

spinning in the rain

Lot's of groans from Team Solo Atlanta as well as Heyward...

Thats a sick deal. I paid $50 or $60 for mine. Beware a lot of them are bent and people don't even know it.
