BRR-SCCA Test'n'Tune and Championship #1 March 19/20th

Unfortunately I've decided not to go to this event I Finally got the STi running 100% bone stock (after 2 weeks being on jackstands), so I dont want to take a long road trip + autox when Im 120 miles from home if something goes wrong. had to sort out a few issues in the past few days which I want/need to monitor for a while. should be a fun event considering the large amount of ppl I know are attending

Kyle,

I decided ill just be trailering my car down. If yours breaks, I still have valid plates and inspection on the m3 and we can just load up the trailer with your car.

I appreciate the offer, but the powersteering is still acting up. Nothing is leaking visibly (ive checked everywhere), but I cant get all of the air out of the system. Every cold start, the car whines, not very loud, but its silent once the car warms up. The pump was perfect before I replaced the SS line with the stock line so I know its not the pump.

Thanks again dj, goodluck this weekend.

Have you tried the standard bleed method (jack front of car up, start engine, crank wheels a bunch of times to full / opposite lock?) Belt for PS pump too tight?

This dinner is from 4-7:30 on Saturday March 19. At Mt. Pleasant Church of the Brethren, 2788 Taylor Springs Road, Harrisonburg, VA. I have saved tickets for myself, Rex, DJ, Cassie and maybe Evan. I will need to know, no later than Friday if anyone else is coming. The tickets are $14.

Thanks everyone.

Good showing by all MMers, it was great to see such a good turnout for an early season event, hopefully we'll see some more people come out in May!

Looking forward to a rematch w/ Ken once I get the star specs mounted back up (maybe a smaller tighter course so his turbo can't stretch its legs (Ray, I'm looking at you!))

[flintster55]

I had a great time as well. Felt like I did well considering I hadn't even had the car 24 hours by Sunday morning. Looking forward to the one in May as well!

[DavidL]

Great time both Saturday and Sunday--- starting to feel more comfortable with the STi and finally nearing where I want to be with times. Still have some work to do but I was happier with results.

Awesome to see everyone- thanks for the help DJ, congrats on the new car Adam!

[Jake]

It was great seeing everyone out there! I wish I could have driven, but honestly, even making it there on time was an accomplishment. Props to Cody for suggesting the crazy idea of driving through the night, and to Chris for driving ALL the way from NC to Verona so we could sleep.

Add Justin Lingenfelter's 3rd place STS trophy and that puts us at 7! Crazy fast driving out there DJ!
Had a good time talking to Andrew and David Lonnquest. I think David's just about got the hang of that STi.

If any of you have ever used garageband before, you may realize that it does this annoying "click" noise between each set of two clips. Other than that, I'm pretty proud of how this presentation turned out. Jake recommended I post it here and I agreed. Here's the basics: I had a media project to put a SoundSlides presentation together with at least three interviews...so I just did it on the autocross and interviewed Ben Williams, Peyton Canary and Shane Anderson. The project isn't being graded yet so if you think you have any helpful suggestions let me know. Other than that, enjoy! <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://smad.jmu.edu/smad210/Reiman/Reiman2/">http://smad.jmu.edu/smad210/Reiman/Reiman2/</a><!-- m -->
