Yeah... can't wait to actually drive the car. Ordering suspension for the 7 this week... should have it all in the car before the 1st local which is in about a month. Couple other bits done early on... this car's going to be a good STS contender... I hope.

Good luck with the STS car!
N/A FC's can be had for cheap, so if the car does prove to be a contender, I'm sure many will follow. It would also be nice to see another car in the mix at the top of STS.

I have a lot of confidence in the FC, but I know those STS CRX Si's and Miatas are uber fast. It'll be tough.
Agreed. The FC has the hp and tq advantage over the Miatas & CRXs, and isn't much wider. It should also be able fit the full 225 sized tires w/o taking a gearing hit.
The real unknown is just how light an FC can get in STS trim. I think KC mentioned ~2,600lbs in another thread. The CRX's are ~1,900-2,000 while the miatas are around 2,000-2,150lbs iirc. The lighter the FC can get the better the odds.

I'll be camping with a couple other autoxers. Site: SAMP3125. I think that means loop 3 site 125. Stop by for some drinks. Look for the blue subaru or blue S2000 CR.
EDIT: there will probably be 10 blue subarus at sampson. Mine will be the one with the diecast 1:22 scale STi spoiler on the trunk (gotta stay STU legal, you know).
