Yes, I searched!

The HPI project R34 ended up pulling a high 11 from memory, and I'm curious to know what mods were done to achieve it.

Does anyone have a list of what was done??

(I have a mate with a 2-door STi which I suspect is now pulling 12s, and I want to teach him a lesson!! lol)

(I have a mate with a 2-door STi which I suspect is now pulling 12s, and I want to teach him a lesson!! lol)

suspect? he got any actual timeslips? Whenever I've seen an STI at the strip I haven't been overly impressed.. i.e. a $60k AWD car + $10k worth of mods.. still doing high 12's..

The old shape sti's are quicker because they are very light .

Very easy to get the 2door ( v6) to do mid 12's , all you need is a power f/c and exhaust . The current shape sti's have to lug an extra 150 kg !!

With an exhaust and remap, this thing is spinning all fours in the dry (I know, I did it lol) - thats with the clutch out and planting it in first, not a big clutch dump. 173kW at the wheels.

And it's an MY99 2 door STi. My estimate is flat 13/ high 12 based on my seat of the pants experience (and previously owning cars quicker than it!!)

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
