A cannonball record has been set at 13 days, 15 hours, and 19 minutes for a solar powered vehicle. Several young men from Michigan built their own machine called The Cannonball Sun and proceeded to create a new class of competition for the infamous cannonball run...
After completion of the break-in period for the new engine, my 2002 WRX build was ready for a dyno session and a proper tune. After doing some serious research on Subaru performance shops all over Colorado, I decided to get my bugeye tuned at 5250 Performance in...
My lifted WRX wagon became lifted in 2017. The 2002 WRX desperately needed new struts and I decided to throw on a 1-inch lift while I had the struts out. I debated using the suspension from a Forester, but I decided that was too high for what I wanted. The plan wasn’t...
