Question Anybody play with their STi in the dirt yet?

Just wanted to know if anybody has drove their STi in dirt, and how it performed? I know that it's setup as a street car, but just for kicks.

I've had mine on gravel with two other people and lugauge in car. Car was amazing. A little tail happy at first with the Diff set to auto. With the diff locked it was amazing. The tires seemed to grip really well on the gravel, but it wasn't deep gravel.

hey man
those are the only two action shots i have of my driving through the mud. i got a couple pics of the aftermath when my car is paddocked covered in mud. lots of other people came up to me and asked to take pics too. my friend got video of me driving through it, so maybe we can take a still and see if it comes out nice.

the re070's werent the best thing for mud, but i never got stuck. i did punch it a few times and just kept the same velocity even though all 4 wheels were probably spinning much faster. it was lots of fun though.

Cool Man after my own heart


It's not an STi (yet), but it's in the dirt.

One time on the way to a friends house I found an unfinished subdivision where the road was not yet paved. It had rained the day before and the entire side street looked a lot like that pic of yours. I couldn't resist either. I pulled up to my friends house covered with mud and dropped a big mud turd on right on his driveway.

You, my friend, have a different definition of a "big mud puddle"
That's more like a lake of mud. BRAVO!!!
