No no, then the car will smell like crappy beer.

They just nodded and replaced the whole clutch assembly...not a problem since even after multiple launches of my near 300hp wagon.

I cruise at the flow of traffic (70~X5) and my car sees reline about 2 times a day. On local roads I drive quite slow.
How are those higher mileage cars doing?
Don
70 mph is a good speed to cruise at. RPMs are just below 3000. You should be able to get excellent gas mileage at that speed!
Was able to get 26 cruising between 74-84 mph.
CA gas will always return lower economy for me...by 1-2mpg at least. I commute between Sacto (CA) and Reno (NV) frequently and the difference in economy between the tanks filled in CA and the ones in Nevada are noticable.

Also, I think I have noticed the clutch "judder" I see mentioned everywhere but it seems to be only on very cold mornings which we don't really have very often in Los Angeles. Has anyone had any problem getting theirs replaced b/c of dealers not wanting to fix it? Thanks.

I am a firm believer in ext warranties but always get the manufacturers and not an aftermarket.This is esp true for less reliable makes but even for my 98 Legacy I got my money back double from my 6/100 warranty as I essentially got a new a/c out of Subaru plus various other stuff. Most decent dealers treat you much better too with a factory warranty - I had my timing belt replaced under warranty as the delaer told SOA it was "damaged" by the oil leak they were fixing under the warranty. There are websites where dealers will sell you a Subaru ext warranty for 30% + off "MSRP".
Given the grief I got from subaru about my stupid mirror problem I can't really see them giving a hoot about my clutch problems.
I also just got a recall notice about the cruise control cable falling out of its track and pulling on the accelarator cable and not letting go, thus causing the audi accelaration problem.
hasn't happened to me. Anybody experience this yet?
Mitsu will soon sell an MR version with more power and a 6 speed, to better match the STi.

Sounds like an Evo my friend, can't beleive you don't know of it. Given a certain street-race glorifying film, you'll find more people who know the particulars of that pocket rocket than a WRX or STi.
It's probably the one true apples to apples competitor of the STi, so get over it. Of course this is coming from a guy who is still trying to come to grips with a Ford Focus dominating the Subie in WRC.

Assuming they remain in business that long... ;-)

Just so I get it straight.
Maybe I should lower the sarcasm a little and suggest you retrace the thread and its origins. Methinks you have a little more tidying to do if the rules are being applied.
Nicholas
As I said before KEEP IT ON THE TRACK. 4th gear at redline = well over 100mph in a populated area. Hopefully the host and the person posting that in the first place never has their family injured or killed by such street racing/displays of speed.

Glad that EVERYONE on here knows that I HAVEN'T reformed.
When was the last time anyone on this board was in my car or in my presence driving? I can count 2 people on here who have seen me driving lately and both will attest that it's not excessively over the limit.
Why is it always acceptable for others to post up about antics that are DANGEROUS yet whenever I point out how dangerous it is, everyone say "Oh mike let it go, leave him be"
May none of YOUR FAMILY get hurt by these psychos out there doing over 100mph....
I don't want to hear anyone on here post up "oh my kid was injured in an accident due to excessive speed of another, please feel bad for me, please help them" When you sit here and condone it by NOT pointing out the dangers.
-mike
Mike this not about the "message," but about the "messenger;" sort of a fox in the henhouse kind of thing. So don't be surprised if you hear some Internet chuckling among the Crew...
If you're sincere, then great; but please don't patronize us.
Bob
For the last time... Mike, no one is condoning reckless driving. We're merely pointing out that there are better ways to point out the dangers and that you're not in the best position to criticize others.
-Frank P
I think I'm more in shock that paisan was brazen enough to repost his flames than I am that nixomose's original post that drew paisan's ire was allowed to stand.
~c
ps, I remember the posts about doing 90 in the trooper while towing something. LOL
-mike
PS: I don't believe I've ever posted up that I have raced on the road, cause I don't street race.

Guess no one believes in being a reformed speeder, but as I said before it's more the RACING than the speeding per-say.
-mike
You know a truly mature individual should be able to take constructive criticism and would not continue to argue a lost cause.
-Frank P
Good show Mike!

Are you racing?
You're just cruising in your WRX at 90+ mph on a highway with not a care if a Civic passes you. Are you racing? If that is, then I'm guilty as everyone, but we aren't. Aren't we?
paisan reformed?
I've seen the way paisan driven and experienced diaper moments riding shotgun with him in both our cars. Still remember the Cape May meet where he almost got me crashing. But that's the paisan of yore; there's indeed a difference in the way he drives post HPDE. He has shown wisdom and restrain from engaging in races with others or kamikaze feats, on public roads that is ;-)
-Dave
p/s seriously thinking of plopping the 5EAT into my WRX.
That said, I'll claim imperfection on this. If you have an issue, feel free to email the Host or myself and we'll review the situation and work with you to make it more comfortable.
Back to the WRX.
For the record, I try not to think of how some TH members drive. Doh!
-Dennis
5 speed automatics are niiiiice though. (still prefer a manual!)
~c
But that's prolly another year or two down the road. Looking to get the 5EAT and/or 2.5l with subie bucks subsidy.
-Dave
The rep said they were coming out with a 280hp version of it. If that's the case, I can see upgrading from my WRX wagon someday.
Everyone else: Sorry for dragging it out, I've just seen too many people hurt/killed not to let it go sometimes. Appologies all around.

Anyone know of reputable Subie Wrx upgrade mechanics in the Northern Va. area?
Thanks.
