Rallycross this saturday.

So I haven't gotten everything I wanted this month to upgrade the car, so reliability stuff was done. Mostly getting all my gas tank problems sorted out from the AWD tank/suspension swap. Getting a working sending unit, solving the fuel starving problems, and next up is getting the right filler neck in so that it can be filled with a regular gas pump.

In the meantime, some 16" Legacy tarbo wheels with Goodyear Eagle tires, taken off our parts Legacy tarbo were bolted on as street tires. No more dorky, tiny, useless 14" tires!

It survives a day at rallycross in College Station. 2nd place in R2.





However, on the street, that's when things get dangerous. A kid wasn't paying attention, and didn't signal when he decided to change lanes into me. Pushed the Subaru into a curb at 40 mph, and caused some ruckus.






Front-passenger fender took the hit. His bumper caught my bumper cover, and tore it off. Both passenger wheels hit the curb, wouldn't be surprised if the front-pass was bent. Front-pass control arm might be tweaked. Tore up one tire. None too happy, and this insurance company is full of lazy M-Fs. The last two times I was hit were fun experiences in comparison.
