t the last SASCA autocross (12-7-2008) I met Paul, who is just getting started in autocross.  But unlike most people just starting, he’s already made some significant investment in modifications to his car, a 2007 Subaru WRX 2.5. Here’s a list of mods/additions paul has made (from a list he provided): COBB AP v2 programmer [...]
