Cal Club Autocross Forums

I've learned something. Last week, after my little incident, I called and upgraded my AAA membership from Classic to Premier. It cost like $35 for me and the wife (our renewal is in May). But here is what I learned. New members can only get the Classic. In order to qualify for an upgrade to Plus or ...

Hey Pete, thanks for not saying "I told you so."

I would like to know, why is this link available without any sort of login or password? I literally googled my name and there it is...

Ramin, I spoke to "Subaru Steve" about your deal. He suggested contacting Subaru of America regarding you situation. He has seen it happen where they will do some type of split of the repairs. It doesnt cost anything to try. Let me know if you would like some help on this deal. Tom Tom, t...

Thanks to every one of you for your advice, rest assured I am considering all of it very seriously. Tom D., I live in Signal Hill. I know about Pete's rebuild. In fact this is one main reason I'm afraid of "settling" for a rebuild. Who's to say I go through all that, save a couple grand as...

Tom D, I notice you are from Long Beach. Do you know of a good Subie shop in the area that could do a solid rebuild? The only good Subie shop I am aware of is Subie Specialties in Monrovia, which is faaaar...

I would have to agree based on my experience... Well, it did run great while it ran but sheesh, so fragile. Or maybe, doomed to failure from the start?

Thanks for all the replies. No, as far as I know there isn't a hole in my motor. Apparently they just dropped the oil pan, found bearing material, and concluded new long block, and maybe new turbo. I don't have any pics - I'm told the motor is still in the car. The reason I'm leaning toward having i...

I'm typically not one to accept defeat on an issue like this. I assume they denied warranty coverage. What was the reason? They say they found evidence of a tuning device on my car, via a control number mismatch on the ECU. This is true but the car was running stock tune, as required in STU, and th...

I want to thank everyone who made my 1 year of autocross so much fun. As some of you know, I spun a bearing in my 08 STI during the last event. Subaru googled me and found me on this forum, and promptly denied any warranty coverage. So, I have a car that has been meticulously maintained for 46000 mi...

Mako, actually you and Karen saved me over 500 bucks! I hope I can return the good deed sometime.

It was a good novice class this year, for sure. I had a great time. Who knows, once Subaru puts my motor back together, I may be back.

Wow. I'm glad you're okay dude.

Hey Art, I DNF'd at exactly the same spot on my first run too. Boy I really liked that section of the course though, there was a lesson in it for me as far as paying more attention during course walks and keeping my eyes up while driving.

Mako, go to my.subaru.com and enter in and backdate an oil change in the service history section. Then print it out and take it to them.

This is the air tank I have: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00915200000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; The Craftsman was actually cheaper than the Harbor Freight special. It much quicker than any portable electric pump. I f...

Thanks for the info Jason.

I work for a Fortune 500 company that is interested in becoming a contingency sponsor. At this point we don't know much about the topic - we just know we have a brand we'd like to promote to amateur racers (SCCA and others). We have made no determinations as to the scope of the program, the budget, ...

Are late fees being assesed also for a single-day entry? I'd like to sign up for a one-day but not if it's 90 bucks instead of 40...
