Autocross Podium Battle! (WRX Wagon NYR SCCA)

[@lugoobre]

Great job, always fun battling!

[@WagonForceMotorsports]

Thanks, you too! I love how competitive this field is 😎

[@Stanleyguy101]

Great job pushing dude! Seems like you could still push a little harder in the large right hand sweep but I know it’s a knife-edge feeling😂. It felt like you were correct left as you were entering the pinched radius section. That tight left hander after looked really tough.

[@WagonForceMotorsports]

Thanks! Yeah it is always funny seeing it in the camera after and realizing what I left on the table lol. It's a good way for me to learn and hopefully next time I keep it in the gas a bit more. The wagon drags so much when I take a tight turn so I went left in the slalom but I was surprised when I saw people go right. Definitely makes sense for some other cars though. And that last section had me changing steering direction so much it felt like an old movie where they just steer randomly in front of a rear projection screen 😂

that turbo sounds angelic 😆🤞

[@WagonForceMotorsports]

Thank you! It's still the stock turbo but between the intake upgrade and the tune running slightly higher pressures, you can really hear it go

[@shadowracer2311]

That’s awesome, I’ve seen the event at the Coliseum looks amazing!

[@WagonForceMotorsports]

It is a ton of fun and it's a friendly group of people willing to teach! Check out the Autocross Long Island Facebook page if you ever have any questions or want to give it a shot. 😎

@@WagonForceMotorsports thanks for the encouragement, is the Wagon your daily?

[@WagonForceMotorsports]

No, I had decided I wanted to learn about modifying cars with this one so I picked up a separate daily because I didn't want to rush installing parts I've never done before and sacrifice my daily for it. The street and novice classes have more people that drive their dailies and its not uncommon from what I understand. Look into it a bit, if you decide to try it out, join the novice class and see how you like it! My WRX Wagon though is able to be a daily driver though easily, it just isn't right now.

Wagonlife!! Subd immidiately lol.

[@WagonForceMotorsports]

Haha thanks bud! Out here proving wagons can do anything 😂

[@Gunma_garage]

@@WagonForceMotorsports I was happy to see one being ring out alittle. She sounds so good, that camera angle was ideal. I’m curious what affects the larger Sti front control arms would do for us Gg guys at the auto-x, but you piloted well! Awesome stuff 👌🤘

[@WagonForceMotorsports]

Yeah I love the way these sound when they are up in the rev range. I tried to pick a camera angle where you could see through the windshield to see what is upcoming on the right and it feels like it is in the right place now. I'm thinking about doing a rear cam to see where I'm hitting cones lol. Maybe next time! I think changing out the control arms bumps you up into a higher class but I'm sure it helps out having the extra front width. I'd love to see what someone could do with one of the wagons in one of the even more modified classes!

[@prismaxx4504]

Hey how are the whiteline sway bars and endlinks holding up? I remember looming at buying some one day. Btw the Turbo sounds so nice!

[@WagonForceMotorsports]

They are holding up good from what I can see. I may have to mess around with the adjustments to see if I can get the handling even better, but I'll run another event and see. Definitely feels better in autocross from stock though. Thanks!
