Not trying to be a smart ass but, you did mention STI right?

most people dont know how to pick the difference between STI and Non-STI

Firslty there were no four door blue sti in the old shape (pre bug eye)

only white and wrc blue 2 doors (400 of these)

and then gun metal grey and white 4 doors (400 of these)

so if your racing a blue 4 door wrx then it wont be an STI, if your racing a white or gun metal grey WRX it will be harder to tell the difference if its a real Sti

recently best motoring test drive the Evo 8 and comepare to a Evo 7, the Evo7 has shorter 3 & 4 gear than Evo 8, but the 0-400 time are similar

AYC & ACD used to be scary thing in Evo 4,5,6, most of owner disconnect them and use a LSD instead. Then they improve it and the super AYC seems to be a VERY nice things.

I have a question.

Where are all you people with the super quick GTS-Ts. I must say, can't find em on the streets, can't find em at the drags.

One has not 'yet' come close to me on the streets. And my car isnt really all that heavily modified. Maybe the guys with the fast GTS-Ts don't want to waste their time on me.

But seriously, I know they exist, but it seems like every bloke here has a GTS-T weapon.

I got to drive a private-owned Evo VIII and it's snappier than a MY03 STi and quicker round Wakefield by quite a margin (at least 5seconds). Could be drivers but I don't think i'm that good.

Evo vs STi in Best Motoring 7 is a VERY interesting comparo. It really depends on how humid the ambient temp. is. I've seen some Rexes pick up quite a bit of time, while Evos seem to favour cold, crisp air (similar to RX-7s).

The Evo VI ACD was a pretty tricky thing but when drivers learnt to trust it they were so much faster than the ones who'd put LSDs in

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By R3N3 · Posted

      Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.

      Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
