everyone on THIS forum should know that aye ?

his comparing something new with his own ride?

if you get in someone elses ride, go for a blat, its kinda natural you flick up your own stick and take measure eh ?

It's a shame there an absolutely horrible looking car. I would rather not be caught driving a car that looks like an Alfa. But the Libertys however... are nice looking cars

hes just comparing to to his 33 to give ppl an idea of the differences, most ppl know what a 33 is like for the most part.

nothing wrong with that.

we have an sti lib in our house, its mums, great car, but its boaring as bat shit to drive, absolutly no driver involvement, and you have to fang the ass out of it just to have fun, has lots of grip and is very consistant, but much prefer driving my r32 it feels alive, stis get the mcintosh soundsystem, quite nice!

IMO The new wrx's are fantastic, only down side is theyre damn expensive for parts atm because theyre so new! My dads mate ran into a bird and stuffed his light on his STi, $2200 for a new one!!!

hmmm the 06 is one ugly mofo, wonder if the 06 still has a piss weak gb,

the 2.5L would be helpful for hte daily, mod the thing a little and replace the nose with a bit of kit an get a park bench rally wing, fun.

anyone know if the 06 sti has forged internals or if it went the way of the yank 2.5 and is cast.

aparently the 02-05 sti's were all forged internals so a exhuast mod and a cooler and your pumping max octance boost..... food for thought

      Anti Squat Kit

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      What are you doing with the car? street car or race car? People get hung up on the squat of the s/r chassis rears. There is positives to the squat if a car is setup and driven correctly for it (correct ride height, spring rate, alignment, damper valving). Generally just lengthen the rear traction arm by 5-10mm and that will help the squat and bump steer too. You are also correct with the roll centre too. This too also needs to be adjustable if you start messing with suspension geometry.   Having done quiet a bit of testing on race cars this year in regards to rear squat, I've seen some big positives from it in regards to drive off corners and traction.

      I find I am using the MX5 for everything except long overnight cruises with Jackie, or, if picking up the kids to go somewhere, the SS has so much more room inside, and is much more comfortable if your going to be doing Hwy driving for 6-8 hours And the MX5 isn't bad in stop go traffic for a manual transmission car, whilst the clutch kit has been upgraded from stock, it is still light, and also not having a stupidly light flywheel in it helps as well, I've spent alot of time sitting on the M5, M4 and M7 stuck in traffic when plodding around the Greater Sydney Region in it Another benefit is MX5's are not really a car that gets stolen, you can pretty much park it anywhere, and it will still be there when you return

      I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8

      People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.
