does no one read whole threads anymore
Don't mind me to lazy to read all posts. But had something somewhat similar turned out to be worn bushing in suspension

Yea could be worn bushing but only started happening after that curb tap..also had Peter Major at WW look under it to check if there was any signs of damage to the mounts/bushes he couldn't spot anything at all.

I'm positive Doug will know what it is if its not normal behaviour :-)

Big thanks to Doug at STechnic for checking it out for me this morning... they know every millimetre of a Subaru

Turns out to be completely normal and nothing to worry about...It's the DCCD compensating by adding more lock to the front left wheel in a hard 180 turn as the rear right wheel lifts off the ground with the 22mm sway bar F&R...

Sharpy -- btw I was kind of right about the coilover setup as it takes much more speed(or fanging or sideways rally type g-forces LOL) to lift that rear wheel off the ground as the car sits flat, and thats why those cars don't really feel it the same way.

Thanks Nick,Duke,Sharpy,Tony for tips and pushing me to get it checked out -- Now I have peace of mind and ready for the track attack

btw what am I looking at for Collie in terms of budget after the entry fee?

Never been down there before...there would be hotel, tank of fuel to get there and back, how many tanks for two days driving on the track (assuming its two days on the track as people are staying overnight?) etc...

1 day on the track I'll likely drive down Saturday morning then back that night. 2-4 tanks would be my guess depending on how you drive and how many laps you do during the day. It was around 125 for the day plus a cams license.

Plus long pants and a long sleeve shirt. I know its a small thing but judging by the people who come into my workplace its not a given that everyone has them.

Got helmet already, done a few track days at RAC... will need extinguisher so quick $100 visit to Russ for that... all adding up
I'll see how I go after this weekend

EDIT: just worked it all out... fuel+cams+entry fee+extinguisher(+2days of drunken munting at stereo ) coming to too much in this pay run, will have to pass this time, didn't plan for it :-( ...Full track joined with skidpans at RAC on that Friday will have to do for now as my track attack! So in for the next episode though.
