New car, new brand, same good feeling

RIP STI, we've had some good times together.  Hunting down Audis and stage2 STIs at the track. Lunch, Dinner and Beer runs to wegmans wont be the same anymore,  The new replacement is a 2010 Mitsubishi Evo X.  I got her with 5 miles on the odo.  Still AWD, still turbo and still has 4 doors.  Gas milage is about the same on both(1 mpg diff in favor of the sti).  In many ways it feels the same as the STI but I knew there are key differences. 

The Eco Friendly Choice For Consumers

One of the most annoying things to happen to your car is getting a rock chip on your windshield that slowly but surely grows into a large crack. Most of us will put it off till we can, so as to avoid the expense of having to change the entire windshield. But today things are very different. You need not suffer watching the small rock chip in your windshield grow into a large crack which will eventually require a windshield replacement.

'99 Subaru Impreza RS autocross contender

So far, I'm pretty proud of myself for not getting off track with the development of this car. Pretty much everything I've done has been effective in making it go, stop or turn better.

Can a 73 Duster race like a sports car?

Probably not considering the thing weights 3364 lbs with driver and half fuel, but I intend to show it can be balanced, surprisingly fast, and fun to drive.

The weight of the car is high (near it's stock weight) by design because I left most of the original uni-body structure intact. I come from the school that has learned over the years that engineers really do know what they are doing most of the time.

Suspension Recommendations for the STI

I think after two years of tinkering, I've finally figured out how to make this car exactly to my liking. It's taken a lot of work, trial-and-error, and going counter to popular opinion to get this far. So, I feel obliged to share what I've learned.

Tires are important but what about the air that goes into it?

So after putting new Summer tires on my stock rims this past Sunday, I noticed that the ones I mounted on the front were a little lower than the ones in the rear. Instead of jacking the car up again and rotating the rears to the front I decided to drive to a nearby gas station and just fill up the ones in the front. I drove to to 4 gas stations. All with either no air pump or with and air pump but no hose! Even the one gas station that i knew where you had to pay for air had an out of order sign on the pump.

My 2008.5 Stormtrooper White Mazdaspeed3 Sport

Hey Guys,
My names Greg, and I'm a mod junkie. I had my first mod done to my car by the time I got it back from the dealership. I can't help it.

Current Modifications: 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX STI

Goal: create an STI that handles well enough to be competitive in regional STU autocross while being perfectly comfortable as a daily driver (and to do it as inexpensively as possible)
