Got this from Toronto subaru club site. Im really tempted to go even though the price is a bit high. Should be fun IF they are gonna have lots of snow. This more for RWD & AWD cars but a couple of my buddies with FWD cars are gonna come out still to have some fun.

With a heavy storm moving through the Cayuga area we are expecting 25-30 cm of snow today trough Thursday. Fllowed by 3 - 5 cm each day after. The track will be in great condition.
Example of great track conditions This was only 10 cm!!

I plan on bringing the rally car out as I had a early end to my rally Perce Neige and need more snow practice

Don't miss out this could be the only good snowfall we get here this year come out and enjoy the SNOW!!!

Morning bump you motor heads.

NefCanuk, come out and test that AWD Fusion.

Sry I'd love to go but I'm going to the Autoshow that day.

Set one up for the summer time and I'm there for sure. Watching your vids makes me jealous. <_<

Not like I care if I cook the brakes (brakes are soon getting an "Extreme Makeover" EBC rotors and Hawk HP pads all the way around :D)

those Sti BBS rims are gonna be my track rims with Toyo R888 tires.
Currently looking for some 17x9" rims. Probably Rota G-Force or Grid.

Hawk HP is what I have right now and I don't like that for track. HP Plus this season.

Morning bump you car show lovers.

Yeah well, I look at it this way, the Hawk HP's are better than stock Ford pads for track use but are still streetable since I'm not mechanically inclined enough to be able to swap pads for track events :P

Hell, after this the limiting factor is going to be the tires now anyways (running the stock Michelins in the summer until they are dead, dead, DEAD)

I'm kinda lazy to switch brake pads at the track......I know the right way is to switch them but meh
HP Plus might be too squicky for you anyway

Heck, I was warned that the EBC rotors are gonna "hiss like a snake" anyways ;)

Meh, I figure that's what the stereo is for :P

Frankly if the car stops better I don't care if the car sounds like I had beans for dinner when I hit the brakes :D

As you know from the "demo" drive you had in my car last year the EBC rotors and EBC pads on my Fusion have plenty of stopping power (which does not fade based on dozens of track days last summer) ... and this combo has remained smooth and quiet throughout. I'm now on my second set of pads but still plenty of meat left on the rotors.

I don't know about the Hawk pads, but the EBC rotors are fantastic IMHO.

I have to say that you guys really missed out. Could of have a chance to ride in a real rally subi.
Ended up being there all day. Pics and vids to follow.

True, that was a rather enlightening test drive last year and seeing you at Mosport was what finally pushed me over the edge to doing a serious brake upgrade.

The Hawk pads were fantastic once they had a good stop in 'em (lucky me that I have to deal with a two level parking garage with several stops needed ;))

I figure I'll get at least a few years out of the Hawk pads, unless I find a source of cash that gives me access to more than a couple of supervised track days.

A couple pics that my buddy took.

This is the rally '97 Subi, runs on 109 octane makes 330whp/540wtq...The ride in it around the track was insane.


Inside of it. Hydraulic E-brake is the bomb.


My buddy's Forester (Low Life / Hood Rides whatever you want to call it :-)), my car and the beast

only got like 25sec of vid when i was getting a ride in rally subi cause my stupid card got full......faaaail

Subi ride

You didn't even make it into the fisrt corner Nik. That is full of FAIL.

here's the camera in my car.....i love that first turn, can do some nice good drift ....also shows my buddy's ghetto forester spinning out in front of me
YouTube- Subaru Impreza winter lapping

i took ABS fuse out so the braking felt very raw....different animal

photos that i took






had a fun ride in this Bimmer as well


lol
