Newk Rally

**DISCLAIMER** this was copied from DI since i'm lazy and didn't want to re-write it some dates or times may be off due to the fact that i started the other journal a while ago
Alright so i thought it was about time to start my journal

So I bought my first suby July of 2007 it was a 2002 wrx came with a HKS Carbon-ti cat back sitting on 17" Racing Heart Evolutions.





I had bought a suby planning on getting into rally bought it was so nice i didn't want to mess it up. and did a couple auto-x with it



Then one faithful weekend i went to bullhead city and right behind my friends place they where building a new neighborhood so i went for a drive out there it was my first time getting my suby dirty





a couple months later i had a Toyota Tacoma cut me off and i slide right under the back of him.



No more then 6 months later the car was stolen right in front of my new apartment.

Then i ended up buying my 2.5 rs and couldn't be happier I bought it on a Saturday then on Sunday i took her directly to Gorman to see what she could do and i couldn't find anything short of the monster hill climbs that could stop her.









That was Oct. of 2008 then in April of 2009 i entered in my first rally-x at Glen Helen







I was hooked! since i've competed at Johnson Valley and the infamous Cal-City event !









The work I've done to the car so far is replacing the passenger rear strut which i bent at the cal city meet last July. (Thanks again Louie)

Then last Thursday i took the car to Gorman and had my first "off" went into a turn and hit some silt on the out side ...slide wide into a pole

When i bought the car the back was striped of side panels and seat bealts i bought both of them but didn't install the seat belts until maybe 8 months later when i took off the rear door card this is what i found



i then realized that i didn't have all the hardware and i'm now in search for this bolt:



so i called Subaru and they said if i wanted that bolt i would have to buy the whole assembly

recently my car start to bog out during heavy acceleration so today i took out my entire intake system and cleaned it and the K&N drop in i have.

oh i forgot one post at the end of october my car was losing power under heavy acceleration i thought it might be my plugs or wires so i went and bought some ngk iridiums when we pulled the plugs they where covered in oil so i took it to my friends house and we replaced th valve cover gaskets and i haven't had anyproblems since (this is why i had the disclaimer up)

i'm not 100% but my best guess is since one of the clips is broken and my driver side window was stuck down for about a month at some point when the car was parked it flew in there and then somebody got in back and leaned against the panel but this is just to most logical explanation i could come up with
