The 2006 STi Motor that Blew Bits @ the EQ T-Hill Track Day! ...huh?

Most of the cars were heating up at the track event. Although we have no idea what caused this. The oil could have thined out or a rod bolt let loose due to stress and heat. Wait till the teardown and we will know.

I can say that perhaps the greatest investment for any STi wanting to go to the track is GET AN OILCOOLER!!!!111ONE!!! I went from Track temps of 130C to about 100~110C and daily driving of 100C to about 80~90C.
I know alot of people say that the subaru engine can have oil starvation issues too; but at least keeping the oil cool will go a long ways.
Best of luck on the rebuild.
