Next time I will know to say high better. I really liked the car especially the wheel setup.

Awesome I'll see you next time

Here is my video from the last auto cross event. First run ended up being my best run, 69.2. Second run I was sliding around and was slower because of it at almost a 70 flat. My fastest run was a 67.358, if my memory is correct, but clipped one of the cones on the third gate. Waiting on the results to get posted.

On another note, I FINALLY received a call from the shop I ordered my exhaust from. They have just received it from Japan. So hopefully I will have it near the middle of next week. It has only been 7 months of waiting! Will make a install + comparison video when I get it.

Have I got a screen shot for you!

Clearly that front plate is good for a couple seconds!

WrxFuze · « **Reply #29 on:** July 09, 2018, 08:19:30 pm »

Haha awesome thanks Grant! It must be the front plate! I just checked that results that were posted and I lead the cone count.

Front plate attracts speed and cones! haha

Fixed, so that Stephen can stop being defensive about his cone count.

Haha well I'm still in a tie for second most. You're hitting considerably less cones, compared to the first event.

10secdream · « **Reply #33 on:** July 17, 2018, 11:19:40 am »

I just had to kill cones the first event.

Haha send them a message at the first event.

On another note. My exhaust has completed it's journey. 7 Month wait, being on back order, shipped from Japan over to the US and then driven from California up to my door! Super excited to change out the stock exhaust for my new J's Racing Dual 70RS exhaust. The box took a bit of a beating on shipping, but thankfully the exhaust hasn't taken any damage.

Here's the current look of the exhaust.

And the new a shiny exhaust:

Installation and comparison video will follow, probably along with some more pictures

Welcome to the J's racing exhaust club! We don't have cookies or jackets.
I'd be interested to hear a side by side of my 60rs dual vs your 70rs dual. That is, if I'm ever in Edmonton (area), or you're ever in Calgary.

10secdream · « **Reply #36 on:** July 18, 2018, 09:28:52 am »

Love the exhaust. Excited to see/hear a comparison.

Haha thank you! Darn, I was at least hoping for a cookie. If I'm ever heading to Calgary I'll let you know. I might go to a auto cross event later this summer.

Thanks! I'm sure I'll see you at the track soon enough, can't make the one this weekend but I should be at the next one.

WrxFuze · « **Reply #38 on:** July 29, 2018, 04:42:44 pm »

Well. Took some time this week to install my new J's Racing Exhaust.
It took a super long time to get here but I definitely think the wait was worth it.

Will post the video up that I have, before and after with the exhaust. Can't wait for the next autocross event!

LilDrunkenSmurf · « **Reply #39 on:** July 29, 2018, 05:51:21 pm »

Oh wow, your's is much different than mine.

Mine is essentially a single with a port on the side of the pipe for the second muffler.

WrxFuze · « **Reply #40 on:** July 29, 2018, 09:21:07 pm »

Oh okay, so on yours there is just the single exit and the other side of the bumper is empty?

I was looking at single exhausts but I couldn't get used to the look of having the one side of the bumper empty where the cut out for the stock exhaust is.
It probably would save weight though.

LilDrunkenSmurf · « **Reply #41 on:** July 30, 2018, 08:32:19 am »

Nope, it's a dual, but it doesn't have the same Y-pipe yours does. Mine's like this:

WrxFuze · « **Reply #42 on:** July 30, 2018, 03:05:04 pm »

Oh wow that is a bit different from mine, more of a straight shot it looks like from the picture.

same lovely tips though

WrxFuze · « **Reply #43 on:** July 31, 2018, 08:01:08 pm »

A video I made of the unboxing, installing, testing, and comparison to the stock parts.
installed the J's exhaust and a Berk 70mm test pipe!

Now what to mod next...

10secdream · « **Reply #44 on:** August 01, 2018, 09:29:47 am »

Can't wait to hear it in person. You going to be out lapping this weekend?

WrxFuze · « **Reply #45 on:** August 01, 2018, 11:29:04 pm »

No unfortunately. I am told I need a roll bar for lapping events. Definitely going to be out the next weekend for autocross though!

10secdream · « **Reply #46 on:** August 02, 2018, 10:40:10 am »

Are you sure you need a rollbar? I thought the factory rollbar was sufficient assuming you pass the broomstick test with a helmet on.

I was told ASA has different rules, and besides, I'm not positive but I am pretty sure I wouldn't pass the broom stick test lol

WrxFuze · « **Reply #48 on:** August 14, 2018, 03:14:26 pm »

Here's my video for the event, took a few runs find some grip and keep in control. As the evening went on the rain fizzled out and my last two runs were my best running in the second run group. The first two runs I did were fun but not fast, sliding around and then spinning out on the second run. Wish we had more runs as I was getting faster and faster and definitely could have made up more time. Came in 2nd by half a second with a 82.9 at the end of the day.

Video from the last autocross, and the Fastech Performance Tire Formula Festival. Was at the track all weekend helping out and finished with a rainy autox. Hope the weather improves for the last two events.
