Recommended Posts

my boss has an 08 Sti with MRT ecutek chip and full turbo back exhaust

you would have to pour a lot of money into a R32 GTR to keep up with this thing

mind you all up hes spent about 90 grand on the car just with these two mods and purchase price. pour 90 grand into a GTR and you have one serious machine

i reckon stay tuned for the WRX in the next 2-3 years.

the brand new 09 "Sedan" and "Hatch" WRX ($39,990) is already quicker out of the box than every single sti up to 2008 model (0-100 5.3 seconds STOCK). and it has the same suspension as the 08 Sti.

in a few years when subaru make their car finally look right the base model WRX will be the car to buy. and it will be dirt cheap too for a brand new performance car.

If your boss paid 80K for the STi which looks like a hair dressers car - FAIL!

Jeremy Clarkson drove the new STi (08) on Top Gear, he bagged the hell out of it. Said it looked crap and didnt handle much better. He said the evo 10 runs rings around it, he then did dougnut rings around the STi which was parked, it was a crack up!

Other driving tests showed that some drivers thought the new WRX was not as good as an EVO X but then when the times were tested the new WRX was doing better!

Top gear's a great show but its not the ultimate show for car comparisons, there's plenty of bias on the non-driving side of the car :)

yeh i was going to say Top Gear is definetely not a show to be basing every opinion on. you really need to make them for yourself.

iv driven my boss's sti. its fkn hauls ass. does low 4 second 0-100 times. its making 240kw at all 4 wheels !!!

and the 08 Sti also beat the evo 10 around the Top Gear track. so who cares. im not saying i like it. but i will tell you this.

it goes like the wind with the chip and exhaust it is extremely quick.

i still wouldnt buy one.

Ive had a go of the new evo ix on a skidpan and well, the subaru couldnt be much worse in the understeering department. Other than that its a great car

As far as that actual subaru vs an r32 gtr - id be *very* suprised if i couldnt put a few car lengths on him by 3rd/4th, or even 2nd depending on standing start/roll on.

I've had both a GC8 V6 Sti Four Door and an R32 GT-R. The GT-R is 5 seconds a lap faster for less money - and more reliable as everything is off the shelf. 1/4 mile times would be the same, GT-R would be a flat 11 and the Sti mid to low 12's - no contest.

STi's came in a V6?

lol @ the biased opinions on here.

Assuming both cars are stock, you're should get done on paper, but as is often the case, it will come down more to the skills of the driver than the abilities of the car. If you know your shit, you may well knock him off. Dial up some serious revs off the line...

If you're in Adelaide by any chance, let me know if he ends up beating you and I'll come round and tear him a new arsehole in my car lol. Nothing worse than a cocky Subaru owner...

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
