Damn, I've been playing Black too much!

I've been driving rFactor instead of GT4 too much... I haven't really put too much time into this challenge... I'll hit it up tonight, assuming I don't spend all evening under the WRX.

Uh oh, what's wrong with it?

Nothing, he's just humping it. :P

I just got it back after 8+ months of shop time... so the motor's finally back together, but I need to swap the rear top mounts, align the suspension, bleed the brakes, install new fender liners, fabricate brake ducts, install a new battery tiedown, wire the DCCD, rewire and plumb the aquamist kit to the trunk, replumb the oil breather system w/ better hoses, install an oil cooler/remote filter, install the skip plate, install the tow hook, and god knows how many other little things need to be done before the season starts April 1st.

WOW.

On the plus side, the go pedal works now :devil:

The car probably has the best power to weight ratio of all the cars in the group now, except maybe for Mike T's evo. Street Mod will be very interesting this year :cool:

What's "the group"? Does our STi racecar count ;)

Sperry, so you're saying that your looking down the barrel of a day and a half of work? :) (says the Tinkerer...)

Well considering I tend to work 10+ hours a day at the paying job, it's not as easy to get a lot done on the car between 10pm and midnight as you might think. :lol:

And if you bring that racecar up to Reno and start running autocross and trials with us, I'd consider it "part of the group". ;) Though I don't want to venture a guess at which class that thing would be in.

That's when I get most of the work done. What's the problem?

Ha! Classing would be tough with the winglets!

So that's your car in SubieSport? I also saw a teaser on the cover of C & D. I haven't read the article yet.

Well, not MY car. It's Easy Street's car. I just drive it.

Well yeah that's what I meant. Wow I'm talking to a celebrity.

hey all. i keep getting a 1.39 and im bored. this car is only fast if you toss it, which is actually slower. :?:

my memory card got thrown away by a serious of misfortune and after letting a fellow subie driver borrow my logictech wheel that is broken. so im stuck in arcade mode with a controller after beating all main races and half endurance....

Hey Marty! A new Challenge will start tommorow evening. :)

Damn you Bemani! :D

1'43.456 was the best I've done after about 40 laps. I'm making mistakes as always, but I dig this car. I feel like everything is slowed down so I have a better chance of driving halfway decent. I can't wait to see some video of Sperry and Outferno.

Don't hold your breath, I'm not even in the neighborhood... I think my best lap is a 1'39.xxx.... Though I have figured out how to drift the shit out of that car.... it's just not fast. :lol:

What, you only post videos when you win? You should post a cinematic vid for this one. All the drifting would look cool. :)

Oh, I thought you were waiting on a video showing how to drive the track fast. :lol: I'll post my lap of course, it's just not going to be as quick as Alan and Gary, unless I figure something out that I haven't yet.

You wouldn't believe how often I say to myself, "Wow, I was doing that wrong" when I see how you tackle a corner Sperry. Even if you don't win, you're still 4 seconds faster than me (so far ;) )

so if i am doing this in arcade mode with sport softs is that the same as what you guys are doing?

Yah, and before you go to run, if you click on the toolbox, you can lower the weight and raise power, as well. All options for the car that are available will be there.

yeah i know but im not allowed to soup it up for these missions right?
