I assume alignment would be off if you put them back to a different place. I guess it doesn't have to go back to the *exact* same place, but I'd want it pretty darn close.

Yeah, alignment will be off if you adjust it at all. Driving in dirt won't affect much with bad alignment, but I wouldn't want to drive on the road very far with bad alignment.

Obviously the people at the top are going to have skill, I think Matt D was probably more referring to your average subaru driver

Even Rally drivers can get beat out. ABV (mark) beat out Mark Uteck in his old Prepped Scoobie with my 1G, basic mods and rally tires. Club/Pro Rally is one thing, Rally Cross is another, if you know you're car well enough, you're gold. I think Dizzle would do just fine. I'm looking forward to the day of being able to get back out on the courses again, maybe with another 1G, maybe with a little something else.

Haha, then I am nowhere near going to win. I couldnt care less though, I am going in with no course racing experience, except for the occasional dirt road racing (which doesnt count anyways)...so yea, who cares if you win or lose, its just about getting dirty...lol

If you had a manual car I'd take up your offer for sure, just not interested in driving an automatic car.

let me just say this at the last race the fastest time of the day was in a automatic 91 turbo t leg its not always the car but it is always the driver...but if your not up for challenges thats fine..I would hate for you to loose in a auto wagon...

She has a point! Nice trash talking.

No shit! I guess the rallyx smack talk threads on MNSubaru pay off!

But seriously Matt D, she does have a point. I've seen your driving first hand, and I know you're good, definitely one of the best drivers I've ever ridden with. But I seriously think that if you can hold yourself so far above a group of drivers that you've never seen or met yet have already stereotyped, on a surface that you've never competitively run your a car on (IIRC), that you will be quite unpleasantly dismounted from your high horse at one of these events.

I'm not trying to tear you down here, I'm just telling it like I see it. Regardless, you should definitely come out, I'm sure everyone would like some more serious competition, especially of the ill-represented Mitsu variety.

nah its just my hatred for all people named matt, they are all way to full of themselves..oh look I can generalize and categorize too! lol...jk...yes it would be nice to have some more serious competition! so my offer still stands this next event is the last time to be able to co drive my car cause come jul i will have a another co driver for the rest of the season who also offered me to co drive in his sti for autocross.

to be fair, i refuse to rallyx the SlowTI this year. the Gravity Park Twin Performance stage rally was enough like a rallyx to convince me that the car's powerband and gearing match up so poorly for low speed stuff it just isn't fun (n/a ej257 using turbo cams and manifold ftl). i'll be back next year at rallyx's though with our extremely overbuilt open class engine lol

Matt D. · 06-10-2009

This seriously makes me want to ditch the coilovers and put better springs on my stock struts just so I can do some rallycross.

10"? Not enough. Also, ditch the sway bars, they just add weight.
