The Family Grows

The Valenzuela Motor Sports family Has once again grown. This time its a 2008 Subaru WRX! Other than the painted hood scoop and wheels it was 100% stock. Kind of a rare find since every one that  seems gets a WRX has some crazy dream of building "the great of all time" out of their little Subie. 

Since getting the WRX home not much has happened. The only thing of real note was adding an Invidia N1 cat back system. Its gone from sounding like a corolla to sounding like a real Subaru. The only other thing so far has been getting it in to Ralph over at Underground Motorsports in Orem for the 90K Mile service and timing belt.

Hopefully we will slowly be making little changes to personalize it but likely will avoid any major changes to the engine.

Rally Utah?

Just in case you didn't already hear... Rally Utah in Cedar City didn't happen. Its hard to tell exactly, a lot of he said she said going on, but some one dropped the ball big time. As far as I'm concerned Cedar City "Festival City USA" is really missing out on a great chance to bring more people/money into their city. Hopefully the event organizers won't completely give up on Utah and we will have a rally in the future.

July Update

Event up dates:
June 27th- We made the URG event at the Jordan OHV. This was the first time out with the Mx-3. This was definitely a learning experience. The car handled well. It was great off the line and rotated well around turns. The biggest issue was tires. While I wasn't slipping all over the place a good set of either snow or gravel tires could make a huge difference. As the day progressed and some corners got chewed up I could feel the car really struggling for grip.

Build Update:
Harness bar was ordered, waiting on delivery
Radiator was cracked at the last event, ordering new brass and copper radiator from performance radiator
KYB struts installed to replace 20+ year old original struts
