MNSubaru Ice Race pics

[Numbchux]

so, this last weekend was he second annual MNsubaru ice race event. we go way up north, set up a course, and drive on it all weekend. last year, someone was kind enough to time our laps for comparison, but due to some drama, that didn't happen this year.

anyway....some sweet pics of my wagon sideways.

had an awesome time....but found out that the RX tranny is overrated for an EJ-swapped car. locked center diff yielded no advantage over the EJ viscous center. and with the torque of he EJ22, lo-range was pointless....

but we had an awesome time anyway!

Looks like you had a LOT of fun! What wheels are those on your wagon? They look a lot like the ones I used to have on my Nissan!

[Skyline5654]

that would be some fun to do that stuff!

[MADMike]

Looks like a ton of fun, wouls love to try that with my olds alero. Is that on a lake??

[DRFTKO]

**** that looks so fun too bad we never have snow here and I have two honda civics:nodno: think i may end up buying an impreza of some sort in the future!!!

[BlackSky909]

Dude you have an old waggon.

[Numbchux]

^^ lol, it's only a '92....

the wheels are just stock wheel covers. I've got some neat steelies under there, but the wheel covers keep the snow out. alot of the guys with bit open-spoked alloys were having problems with stuff freezing to the inside of their rims and causing vibrations.

yes, it's on a lake. we'd set up a course in the mornings, and run it all day. alot like autocross, but on the lake. and with snow tires instead of slicks...

[spanx]

that looks like fun we always use to go and goof off in my brothers 88 camry or my freinds prelude one the lake out just outside of town

[BlackSky909]

Dude your crazy driving on a frozen lake, I wouldnt step foot on one of those, just terrified of it breaking.

in january during ice fishing tournaoments the sponsors drive semis with trailers out into the middle of the lake

[BlackSky909]

[bestdragon2001]

Looks really fun!!! I have never seen a lake frozen like that in real life because of where I live.

normally its between 1 1/2 to 4 feet thick in the middle of winter and it olny takes 8 inches for a full size truck.

[BlackSky909]

Thats kinda scary knowing some trucks fell through.

[Skyline5654]

I was watching the discovery channel once and they talked about the trucks going across lake and they showed trucks falling through and some that made it

Global warming ftw.

[ravevolution]

:nod: Thats looks like friggin fun.

Too bad I live in Cali it doenst snow here except in the sierra, and it only gets as cold as maybe low 30's if that and its still sunny

[vietazndude]

that looks really fun. too bad i cant drive and in cali theres no snow... =D

[musclecars4life]

OMFG!!!!! that looks like so much fun!!! i would go NUTS with drifting, if i was out there

[Skyline5654]

Imo I think the 3rd pic is the best out of showing just the wagon not the impreza

[civic_guy]

That looks like tons of fun....I wish I had an AWD car :( I wouldn't touch the snow with my fwd si....cuz i'd def get pwned :lol:

[MADMike]

try driving in snow with a RWD 2.2L s10, fun stuff, especialy if you don't value your life too much.

[DRFTKO]

Global warming ftw.



tell me about it, the temp got up to 79 this past weekend here in North Carolina, it broke a record for January:nodno:

[Numbchux]

we went out with a ice fishing auger and measured 14" in the middle of the bay. and almost 20" near the shore. he was out with a 3/4 ton 4x4 chevy pickup plowing the course on the first day. I wasn't really worried about my little 2500 lb wagon.


yea, it's pretty much the most fun you can have on 4 wheels. you don't know the meaning of the phrase car control until you get it sideways going into a hairpin turn on ice, and make it :nod:

[BlackSky909]

Dude that thing weighs 2500 pounds? Looks like a boat.

[kidZim]

fun pics! Maybe i should buy your subie and try that out!

[thrillbilly]

holy **** that looks like so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i would do that in my pickup hahaha its not 4x4 but i dont care, anyways cool driving and pics!!!

[Numbchux]

fun pics! Maybe i should buy your subie and try that out!

this subaru is not for sale...and my lifted one's been sold for a couple months...

but yes, you should get a subaru, and come. there's another one in mid-february....although I doubt I'll be able to go.

[viggy92]
