Subarutex Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Thats right. After 3 years of seriously showing my car, this weekend, I took home my first trophy (non-WCSS). At Battle of the Imports@Pacific Raceways in WA I won Best Overall Truck/SUV.

carfreak85 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Great job Chris, but I still am left with a question. When was the last time that poor subaru was driven hard offroad? Show the URX, not the wag man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarutex Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 Great job Chris, but I still am left with a question. When was the last time that poor subaru was driven hard offroad? Show the URX, not the wag man! Last time was more than a year ago... However I did take it up that little hill climb at this years WCSS. The big problem is after RIPPING the front drivers side radius rod plate out multiple times offroading it just won't hold up to the abuse anymore. Even after through bolting it into the body with custom fatty washers. If I had enough motivation, I probally could re-engineer some portions, and do some welding straight to the unibody that may help... But then i'd just be out there being left behind by Toyota's. I don't want to be that guy that everyone is waiting on and making fun of, or worse... I don't want to be that guy that nobody waits for. Ultimate is no where near show quality. Reason 1 - Paint... needs a wet sand atleast, but i'm doubting it will ever be "glossy" Reason 2 - Questionable build quality (example: the shift linkage just broke where it had been cut, sleeved for extra length, and rewelded.) Reason 3 - No WOW factor. Nobody knows what the car is, most walk right by it without thinking twice. Reason 4 - 75% of the work isn't mine. I don't like taking credit for other peoples work (good or bad) and thus, have a problem really standing behind it and trying to show it off. That being said, I immensely enjoy the car for doing what I bought it for. Driving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
