Default Transition:

So, 2010 was the year that the pieces fell into place. At the start of the year, I was concentrating on what changes I would be making to my Lotus for the up-coming autocross season. With increased competitiveness in my blood, the first event in late March made me realize what a beating I take with that car from an indexed time standpoint and how fast I would need to be in “raw” times to take FTD from the likes of the AWD Sti Subarus and Evos. I just didn’t feel like the advantage was in favor of my current ride, so I started making plans to return the Lotus to stock, sell my aftermarket stuff, and join the boosted Subaru ranks. But little did I know there was another wrinkle coming up. In Mid May, the annual Carlisle Import and Replica show hit the calendar and to my surprise, there were a couple of ERA FIA cars in the show field separate from ERA’s normal vendor stand. One of them was in fact for sale. While at the show, I briefly looked the car over, but took little serious interest as the owner didn’t have an asking price on the car and I was convinced I was a STi Subaru owner to-be, anyway. It wasn’t until the ride home that it hit me and I wished I would have gotten more information on the car. That’s when I posted this thread:

ERA FIA for sale at Carlisle this past weekend..
