 Hello, YouTube's long time for an autocross at least Right now I'm at an event Third for me this year I'm gonna kind of quickly show the track. All right, so start Keep to left around And you can see first time I just got here first time walking the track and you can see kind of a slalom It's gonna be quick. I'm not gonna, you know, show the whole race day. I Probably don't even have enough battery for that Anyways, my car The 06 STI went through some changes. I got a new seat Racing seat that is because I was all over the place inside the car had to brace myself with my push myself against the No left side footrest Yeah, it wasn't comfortable My leg would get tired pretty quickly So that was a good investment four-point harness nothing crazy Both made by Sparko New setup on the suspension same call over just rebuilt or brand new inserts But you know kind of a new new setup more camber I believe I'm running minus about almost minus three in the front and about two and a half in the rear Transmission was rebuilt That's why it took so long for me to get back Into the gate. Well with the STI at least I did I was driving with my buddy the 06 Impressa That went through some changes coming up soon Hopefully see we're still doing some changes to the track over here So what's going on man, so you can see a pretty quick Sweeper over here Go, you know got to keep to the left so actually the first time I I So the first time I got to a not across In the STI was about a month and a half ago with the new setup new tires new tires falcon 660s and some of you may know Brand new tires have no traction. They got to go through a few heat cycles to actually You know have some traction. So I was all over the place But I ended up out of 74 cars. I ended up being fifth overall Also did an event second two weeks ago and also out of about 75 cars. I ended up sixth so Pretty proud of myself there. I gotta say The Impressa is not doing too bad either. Usually it ends up at about 20th overall But you know, that's about that's against all kinds of cars, you know, I mean Corvettes BMWs Porsches Miara civics You name it, right? I mean you can see All those cars there cheating Got to get me one of those or something To get around the track faster. Anyway, so I'm not paying to the track attention to the track so I've got to go come around make a sharp left slow down here make a sharp left and and Probably keep tight on the second cone keep it tight or maybe not not so tight here, but tight on the next cone to make be able to Get out quickly and then right where those two guys are make a left Keep it tight there. Well, we'll see, you know the first three Three goals are usually kind of confusing learning the track kind of deal, you know So obviously I'm gonna walk this track two more times. I did get laid here today It is 830 or 88 40 I usually get here just after eight To be able to you know unpack whatever get ready Check tire pressures Take the spare out out of the trunk There's a plane Put my number up on the car So God because I have about 30 minutes left. I think the driver's meeting is at 915. So 25 minutes to do all that and then walk the track two more times at least So we're gonna go actually pretty easy so far Pretty easy track to learn so far It can get confusing people do get lost Especially the newbies but looks like a fun track So obviously we're gonna go this way. So last time I was I Took the STI out was three years ago, and it was I believe was a track day in Ginger Man, Michigan, and we had some issues One of the catchkins were was overflowing the the driver's side left Was overflowing with oil because I do run E85 that may be You know the main reason why but I Was still running the WRX O2 WRX oil pen So that's changed that that oil pen got changed to a Competition I AG competition oil pen with buffling and all that good stuff So that's there. So I did notice the first time I was out here. I Didn't notice a bit of oil now, but maybe this much Inside the catch can same catch can same side So I guess that oil pen well it's doing what it's doing But you know I would have to go to a track and see if it was if it's gonna overflow or not But I may be able to do one track This year still just no time. Okay, so this is that this is the end So I gotta stop here and listen to my time on the walkie-talkies. There's also a clock up there by the tent So this is it Pretty cool. Let's let's look at the car or maybe some of these cars But are here This is a Mazda Miara Club. By the way, if you didn't notice yet Miara Miara Miara Miara This is cool to more Miara's there more Miara Miara A light bit civic good times with us in that civic Good driver Guess what more Miara's Okay, that's the coaching walk for newbies That's cool Miara oh My STI that's the seat. That's the tires. Let's pop the hood quick See check if the engine still there It's still here. All right guys, I'm gonna walk the track Unpack walk the track and then I'll see you on the track or the parking lot It's hot. It's like seriously hot that there's a 77 but it feels like 90. So this is a track start and And done Driver's meaning they mentioned that it's hot and humid. Let me explain as you can see It's still hot as at one point when I as I was coming back The event was cut short, but I'll explain why in a minute as I was coming back going home It on the thing inside the outside temperature showed 101 and humid It is enough So I was in second group, which means I was resting while the first group was out driving Then come group two, which is me. I had to go work. Then it came My turn to drive. So my first time was a forty three point two My second was a forty Point three, I believe then The second or third I did not record The fourth I think was this pinout or maybe I forgot I forgot to press record a few times my fault I did spin out and did almost the same doughnut That I did the first time just didn't decide to continue with the doughnut because Another issue because of the heat I had another camera right from the side rear glass side glass on the Inside the car and that phone that camera just died because of the heat So basically I was talking to myself to that camera for about five minutes Anyways, now I had a 39 Nine or something can remember then someone actually people wouldn't get with me, you know Some, you know, if you're at an event, you know, usually the guys Don't have issues the drivers if you're a newbie or you're just, you know, watching whatever they don't mind you getting into the passenger seat for one run and You know, see how it is take a take a ride with them, you know, so I have two guys like that and While with one guy, I I don't know if the weight of the guy helped me because I was all over the place I mean that car is just tail happy. It's ridiculous. I need to change the setting on the rear sway bar make it a more More loose. I was running 28 maybe even 26 psi on the rear 33 34 in the front lowered the softest dampening on the Rear car lovers as possible and still just couldn't it's gotta be the sway bar. Okay, so anyways, so the guy You know, I had a passenger and I did a 39.5 which is at that time was FTD, which is fastest of the day Then come group three One guy had a 39 flat other guy had a 39 Four another guy had a 39 also lower than 39 five. So I ended up being fourth Then while that third group was running actually one of those cars that beat me by by you know Whatever it was 0.3. Whatever It was a Mazda On the back part of the course as you go, you know, you You start with take that left and you do the slalom halfway through the slalom. He started having an oil leak and all the way Back all the way to the end of the parking lot basically the whole back is Part of the course was covered in oil about this wide. Okay So we had two choices either change the the course you know Move the cones around or go home we had a vault and I don't know what happened to the car. Why was it leaking? I mean it was a lot of probably all of the oil came out. Hopefully the guy didn't mess up his engine Anyway, you know, didn't spin the bearing or anything like that oil starvation Anyways, we had a vote and it was hot as hell too. People were not feeling well and whatever It felt like 105 or even more crazy We had a vote and we had a few more votes People that wanted to stop I was one of them. I left basically and the people that stayed they changed the course And they're still running I guess because that happened about an hour and a half ago So I don't know if that's gonna count for the new track is gonna count for points or not I don't care. Okay. If they're having just having fun Too hot if it was not that hot, I'll probably stay Anyways, my best was 395 ended up as of as of the old course. I ended up being fourth Which is you know, bro, which is pretty good second in my group all your drive group And a fourth overall car It's great. It's just tail happy. I gotta do something about it But you know so much work and I I know I haven't put up a video of the STI. I did a lot of work to it Sometime I will you probably some of you may remember this beast Well right now it's resting we do have plans for that. Let's look at it. Oh Six in preza this thing is stripped There's gonna be a video on it of the you know the stripping and all that stuff, but Barry has been moved in the Where the spare spare wheel used to be? I think the spare is right here It's not lowered or anything Everything else is stuck stuck engine stuck power Nothing special Just lightness and traction this thing believe it or not Think stock is like 150 160 160 horsepower So to the wheels, I'd say maybe 120 you probably lose 20% on an all-wheel-drive vehicle This thing usually ends up overall at a out of 75 cars at a an event out across ends up From 15th to about 20 seconds. Okay Which still it's pretty good Kind of kind of shows you your needs a lot or even a turbo to have fun and be You know competitive. Okay. Anyways guys, that's it I'm gonna go faint now And I'll catch you in the next one. See ya
