HIGH MILEAGE WRX goes to the track!

[@Specter57]

It was a great event, and from what I saw you did pretty well. Hope to see you out there on track next year.

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

Saw your car as well, too bad we didn’t get to drive in the same session. I’m down to come out to more events next year! Gingerman is a track I can never get enough of

[@paulmarsdensr1095]

Man the car did well @the track. Good job 👏 brother. A great video. Stay safe.

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

It had great handling to my aggressive alignment. -3.2 camber front and -2.7 rear. Felt planted during the high speed turns!

[@SubiSpeed]

Fortune Auto coilovers are a great choice for the street or the track!

[@jonathantaylor3373]

Awesome bro! I plan on doing some very similar mods to my 15' wrx for autocross and track days as well. Keep it up!

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

Glad you are liking it! It’s slowly becoming a nice car and it certainly drives much better already 🤙

[@KevinVo]

It held together!!! Can't wait to get back out to Gingerman next year!

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

We should do a GR86 vs WRX battle sometime with our daily drivers!

[@BadCoreyMedia]

Hey thanks for grabbing a couple cool shots of my Legacy @2:13! If you happen to have any other footage it's in, I'd love if you could send it to me. I had a broken lug key keep me from running the morning sessions, and sadly only got to run in the Time trial Baseline and Attack sessions before an oiling issue put me out of commission, so I ended up in barely any media from the event. Great video!

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

I’ll check to see if I have any more of your legacy. Nice build btw, cool to see an uncommon platform out at the track!

[@BadCoreyMedia]

@@FosterJohnsonMedia That would be awesome! And thank you so much! It’s a blast to drive but it definitely comes with some unique challenges haha.

[@CLNracing]

Awesome video Foster, liked and subscribed🤙🏻Nice meeting you and Morgan.. Hope to see you guys out there again soon!

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

It was nice meeting you guys too. I’ll be back out next year!

[@OvernightCrew]

Damn dude you killed it! the parts with Morgan was super fun to watch too, i wish my gf was into car stuff lmao

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

Haha yeah she’s pretty chill about doing car stuff so I really can’t complain ☺️ I want to do more track/autocross videos with the WRX

[@morganelrod1326]

Your wife is a trooper!

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

😂 the best reaction to the ride-alongs! hahaha

[@c.j.cameron1820]

Looks like fun! I wanna get into Time Attack but up until recent I haven’t had a car that I felt comfortable putting on a track. Talked to a guy at a local meet he said I should try autocross first.

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

Yeah autocross is where I started to learn car control, the good part about starting that way is that it’s way cheaper on consumables and you don’t need to prep your car nearly as much to get started. You can basically just show up with a street car and have fun!

[@XeroDash0]

I can’t wait to get this car for myself

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

You won’t regret it! They make a great daily driver but obviously they are fun to drive and have great handling

[@ALLANG12]

Hey Foster! Do you know of any track days near the council bluffs/des moines area for someone who has never even been on a track? Slowly building my car up and would love to track it at some point but have zero experience..

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

Raceway park of the midlands is the closest track to Des Moines and it’s a pretty safe track to learn on. Follow them on FB they have random open track days. If you want to take lessons or get your license look into High Rev driving school. They go to RPM a lot

[@NormalGuy]

Did you ever mention how many miles it had?

[@Jaxon_Steele]

Are wrx reliable daily and possible track cars? I’ve always to own one but a lot of people saying nothing but headaches. People who have & had em.

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

They are nice reliable cars as long as you don’t try and ask too much of them. 350 ish is about the sweet spot before you start having issues

[@redStaplerRacing]

Thanks for catching a few shots of that sweet 911,😂😂😂

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

It was a beauty for sure 😍 awesome to see it out at the track where it belongs

[@redStaplerRacing]

@@FosterJohnsonMedia thanks bud! And yeah, i don't see a reason to have a Porsche and not track it. They were made for it.

[@RevMatchTrackDays]

Thanks for joining us!

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

Thanks for hosting the Subaru speed expo! I’ll definitely be back next year and with some better brake pads next time 😅

[@bairdtownsend6546]

When I discovered the Invidia R400 on my 17 WRX was too quiet, I found that a downpipe freed up the sound nicely 😉

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

That’s good news, I have a Grimmspeed J pipe just waiting to go on the car so I’m hoping it will turn things up a notch!

[@davidbeauvais1364]

@Miltm 25 there’s no down pipe … FA20 uses j-pipe then your mid pipe then y pipe that’s the whole exhaust.

[@K03sport]

Holy 44psi batman! My daily pressure doesn't go above 36f/35r psi (10% over door sticker). Not to mention the rougher ride on city streets/hwy. Better than any roller-coaster, even if you were in the Red Fit. Did you do any adjustments to the rebound/compression to the coilivers prior to going out on track?

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

I adjusted the Fortunes to 10 clicks from stiff and left it there for most the day, the car felt pretty balanced. Next step would be to soften the front for better turn in but I didn’t get enough sessions to try that out

[@nixwrx]

WILL IT? WE WILL FINDOUT SHORTLY

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

You never know when you track a Subaru, let’s be honest 😆

[@samiginonacerdepaoli2413]

how many miles does it have?

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

It has 147k so it’s getting up there. My plan is to do some maintenance items soon like walnut blasting

[@natecrx88]

What are we considering high mileage here?

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

About 146k is what it’s got at the moment

[@brother_maleik]

Y r u in advanced I'd you're not fast? Just curious

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

Yeah you can be in advanced even if you are not the fastest, main thing is you have to be good about getting out of other peoples way and watch your mirrors

[@rebelliousgoat1557]

Rice because of the wing 🍚

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

I bought it like that. Wasn’t done very well and will be replaced. But for now I’m enjoying my fake STI😄

[@davidbeauvais1364]

Mine is same year but way further along. get a catted j-pipe intake and solid billet trans crossmember bushings. I got extra Cobb Big SF intake Id let go dirt cheap. With these trust me it’s loud enough for pulse racing satisfaction.

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

All those mods will be happening eventually! It is slowly becoming a really nice car 🤙

[@davidbeauvais1364]

Remember the stock j-pipe has a cat and a mini muffler in it. That’s hugely killing sound

[@Dr.Ticklebum69]

Nice car. Looks like it was a lot of fun. I wish that track was closer to my area lol. What kind of mileage does it have? I didn't hear it mentioned. Also as a side note. Enkei is pronounced NK like the letters.

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

It has 146K so pretty high mileage for its age. Yeah my buddy told me I was pronouncing Enkei wrong, whoopsie! Haha
