Brendan's 2014 Solid Red STU Autocross Build Thread
I had a long thread about buying the car back in 2015 but that car got smashed and I bought another identical one. Lots of pretty pictures will go in the main post as the car changes. I'll update the thread periodically with progress.

Not really. That was an issue years ago caused from what I understand to be people putting them together incorrectly. The ball joint now come pre assembled and is partially sealed. I'll still keep an eye on it and will report back with any issues.

photos the last event. I switched up brake pads to get a bit more bite and consistency and removed the rear bar. Almost got an elusive tire lift on corner exit. Maybe with more grip

Unfortunately my car was totaled out in a hail storm on the way back from spring nationals in Nebraska.

That's horrible to hear especially since you just started enjoying it
I would ask to buy it back from the insurance company if i were you!
