Another Subaru, a girl, and you race autocross!
THAT is AWESOME!
Welcome! I may be bugging you about the whole CT autocross thing in the future as I am interested in trying it out.

Thanks for posting the picture Noah. Autocross is so much fun and super addicting. Everyone is so friendly and it's a blast! I don't think I can make it this Sunday, unless I can make it to the Mill on the River for 4.

First rule of "Fun Run" you don't talk about Fun Run!

lol... At Autocross, you get anywhere from 5-7 timed runs depending on amount of people / smoothness of the day... Then afterwards, for about an hour, they do Fun Runs, which are $2 each, and you can do as many as you want. They don't count for competition, but they are LOTS of fun.

Noah, I'll take you up on it but it won't be this weekend. The car just died on me today on the way home from work. I'm hoping no serious engine damage was done. It seems like the oil pump might have let go. The oil temp spiked up to 140C and the car started knocking like a bugger. I nursed it home but it wasn't pretty. No smoke, no CELs, No oil loss however...strange stuff

dont waste your money on trunk bracing... It does nothing other than looking like a jungle gym... Trust me... Been there... if you want true trunk bracing, cage it.

Speaking of speeding tickets... lol We're heading to Connecticut to pay Sean's speeding ticket tomorrow! Hopefully we'll find all sorts of rice for me to video along the way.

Cage would be nice... except that its a daily driver... so my daughter needs to be in the back of it.
No offense man but The ITR has a factory location for the trunk brace, so i'd take honda's word over yours.
