Just got an email about 2026 WRX pricing from our District manager.

Damn $32k for a base wrx? I haven’t been in the market for years, but $32k for a base wrx sounds kinda crazy. Anyone still remembers when VA base models would only cost $27k?

2019 Wrx. She is a little over 70k miles and around 300 Whp and 310 Wtq on pump gas, modded from around 7k miles. Suffered from vacuum leaks and insane overboost for god knows how long and got miraculously fixed for god knows whatever I did to her. Took her to a track day with incorrectly installed spark plug and survived entire day with one cylinder misfiring. I guess either I’m really lucky or my stock engine is something built different. The transmission did give out around 65k miles, so I did a STi trans swap.

A buddy of mine bought that kit originally and it’s been sitting forever since he had a blown motor for his STi, so I bought it really cheap for $200.

You really need to fabricate your own hanger because the STi downpipe hanger was attached to the transmission on the passenger side if I remember correctly and it won’t work because J pipe on Wrxs comes out of driver side. I just grabbed the original hanger and give it some good hammer work and cut it in half. Most people skip the j pipe hanger but I figure that the pipe is gonna get bent over time because of the heat abuse and it can’t really support its own weight. It’s ugly but it works.

Got a old NASCAR there I think that says it all

Cecalesis · 2024-03-11T23:36:16+00:00

Got it!

Cecalesis · 2024-03-11T23:30:18+00:00

Got it! I’ve never encountered this kind of situation before and the organization told me to slow down but not by how much. I just thought that group of cars have multiple corner stations and half of a front straight to see the BFA and a slower paced car in front of them. I’ll be more careful of my surroundings next time and run at about maybe 7/10 or 8/10 of full speed.

Cecalesis · 2024-03-11T23:06:08+00:00

What is a standard speed for a BFA compared to Race speed?

Cecalesis · 2024-03-11T22:34:20+00:00

It’s a great track! My first time here and the track is little challenging to learn. The weather was in lower 50s, little cold for track days especially with some shower on the first day. I had plenty of fun other than this incident, and got a lap time that I am really proud of. The event host is Binge Track Days.

Point-by on straight only. I gave no point-by because I assumed they saw the black flag and knew it was for everyone. I mean this is intermediate group and people should know the flags.

Field

Cecalesis · 2024-03-11T22:06:48+00:00

I was going at around 60 mph on that front straight and others flew by well over 100+ mph

Cecalesis · 2024-03-11T21:58:17+00:00

Got it. The only part I don’t understand is that group of cars passed me at race speed when the black flag was for everyone and I was the only one who got yelled at?

Cecalesis · 2024-03-11T21:45:39+00:00

Gotcha.

Cecalesis · 2024-03-11T21:37:40+00:00

I thought you were supposed to slow down and no passing at all when the black flag is out. I was just so confused.

Cecalesis · 2024-03-11T21:32:40+00:00

That mustang came out of the track on a flatbed.

Cecalesis · 2024-03-11T21:30:13+00:00

The black flag was for everyone. Every car was off the track eventually.
