well the track car has gone.will miss the fun i had in it (2wd)
out with the old i suppose


got good money in the end


new project in the makin, i know its not ford

an RA light weight scooby

 

Shame, i love your Saph, looked great!


but great replacement

 

is a shame always looked forward to seeing this at coombe

 

yeah man your saff looked awesome

 

is it a wrx ra ?

welcome to the Elite club

 

yes mate

 

ps looks good might i also add

i just bought a roof vent for my impreza for its grand return to the road

 

is it an RA vent and have you any pics

 

Nice new motor matey

Shame about the Saff, but hey times change.

Is that the one that was also out at Mallory? I think I overtook a similar car a few times while I was there

Not tracking the Evo then?

Either way, new car looks awesome

 

yeah its a RA vent, no pics yet though as it aint fitted, the car aint even been started on tbh as im trying to get a fucking bonnet

 

no mate it has,nt seen a track yet
just orded some 285 20 19,s for it super stickies, bring it on si

 

where did you get that from ginge ,they.re like chikens lips

 

Poor little car's in for shock then! When I first glanced at the pic I though for a minute you'd bought the Gobstopper

285/20/19s? Always one upman ship with you

I'm going for some 24" spinners just to totally out do you!
Forest arches as a next mod for the Evo, so I get some 305 wide rubber on.

I will not be beaten!!!

Look forward to seeing it a track near me soon - when is the first outing?

 

15th of march at donny si
some issues first exhaust is way to loud so got to sort that.and with it being an RA it has a short ratio box so top end will be poo..

look forward to seeing your spinner,s

 

thanks for the pm ginge,will bell them later

 

Always liked your saph,nice replacement though,the ra's are amazing point to point cars.

 

all imprezas are nice cars mate, i LOVE my sti, its not a RA ill admit but i like having aircon,electric windows and remote central locking

though i will also be fitting a DCCD but with a 6 speed when i kill the gearbox

 

this might be a stupid question but what is a DCCD???

 

its a electronic centre diff,you can set it to all 4wd or dial in less fwd and more rwd, some people just stick it to almost rwd all the time

 

driver controlled centre differential.

 

thats what the name means,, but i explained what it done

 

nice replacement

 

cheers guys

 

cool,


whats the top speed?

power??? and thats the weight

 

about 130ish i hope
280 ish at the mo
1150 ish kg fully seated(soon to be gutted)

its not that quick at the mo but it should handle,and i dont are if it rains on the day now

 

looks great with the decals........

very tempted to keep my type r impreza and decal it like that

 

did the cambelt and pump this morning
then out for a wash

 

Not a big impreza fan but i like the look of yours Basky !!

 

we should be close on track then (when ki have mt ITB's fitted)

as you have 243 BHP per ton
and i will have a 241 (when i have 200bhp)

i only have 200 BHP per ton at the moment

 

where does the intercooler pipe work go ??

does it go through the inner wing like normal kits ?

 

a very capable car to take on track.

JC's RA is awesome on the track.

 

yes mate up the inner wing

 

is JC still running the RA box dave

 

both sweet motors mate

think I prefer the scoob though!

 

jc has a long ration box mated to the rear end of a RA box to allow him to keep the DCCD

its the reason why i never went for a RA,,, then JC told me how to do it and said it aint that hard

why you not like motorways pmsl

jc's one has a few mods to it, its a fooking quick car !!!

 

as Ginge said.

well better for the long trips to the 'ring' etc...

 

Ha Bask how,s things fella??

Great cars mate the RA, ihad a V6 V-LIMITED, had it mapped by Bob rawle it it made 337bhp/329 ft/lb, ok not the ost power ever BUT with it,s lack of weight and close ratio box it was absolutly mental mate, it got to 130 mph in no time at all...

You,ll enjoy it fella.

Got myself a nice V3 TYPE-R now running 350bhp/349ft/lb and again it,s just a hoot of a car, the guy i bought it off ran a 12.3 quarter @110.9mph @ Scooby shootout so it,s not shy..

I paid 5.5k for it, it,s running Motec Ecu, AP 6 Pots, EXE-TC suspension, BLA BLA, i,ve fitted a FMIC since buying it cus 350 on the top mount is really pushing it..

 

hows things staffi,will be lookin at more power ,allredy got fmic,255 pump,s/s headers,downpipe and exhaust,paddle clutch so the base is there
15 march at donny will be first outing

 

Mate, what ECU are you planning on running in it??

 

thers a guy in blakpool who maps rally cars who is going to map the ecu that in
when i get the right injectors
only want 330 ish,do they have a gate or baffled sump
