Ground clearance...

[Srt4eric]

Really wishing I had more ground clearance. This Subaru is going to have a fun time trying to make it to the top of the mountain behind me.

Unless you want to do more than 3 laps on a track...ask me how I know

a car wash afterwards will be very satisfying.

You'd never believe the places i got my 06 GTI into and out of. Mind your oil pan, go slow, and watch for tire pinching rocks.

Having a vehicle with high ground clearance is fantastic, although I have to say, going slow and being very cautious has gotten me really far in my minivan and other low clearance not off road vehicles on some non paved roads.
Even with a high clearance 4x4 you can end up like I did yesterday by hauling ass thinking you’re hot shit passing sedans on desert dirt roads only to get a flat and have them pass you later

That was my reasoning behind why I should be racing all the people who didn’t know I was racing them

Was that a WRX or BRZ?

Was that a WRX or BRZ?

I am on my second motor on my '13 sti. So the wrx with a tune, and a beefier suspension, brakes, and transmission off the factory. Now I have too many parts to count working on keeping that engine and its oil cool.

So get a camper/vehicle with more ground clearance.
Dually F350 can go most anywhere in total comfort.

Cables! "Laughs in AWD"

 

[H2OPlayar]

why are you on your second motor? EJ25 is a stout motor. Usually I see this when someone turns up boost to high and gets detonation and it’s bye bye stock pistons. Usually the result of a poor tune.

you should for sure have a wideband to ensure this doesn’t happen.

That sucks a few dollar part causing major engine failure. I had the second year introduction new body style wrx (2016) that continually failed the hydraulic throw out bearing. Subaru tried 3 times to fix it before giving up.

Yes, I admit to being quite annoyed putting on chains on highway 80 going to Tahoe as the AWD types go fast.

But it is dangerous overconfidence.
AWD does almost nothing for ice.
AWD does almost nothing to help you stop.
Especially AWD without lockers.
