here is a graph of my car running its power at the moment of 1.5bar ???






and a couple of pics of my car


this one, the ferari f430 wouldn't pull over when we nailed it and we were hitting 130mph in the bends



This car I wanted to beat at scoobyshootout as he just kept beating me at the last minute, I beat him thru 2nd and 3rd gear but when I went for 4th he left me his biggest gap was 2 car lengths at one point we were half a car lenght



here is my car after I entered it into a show and snine competition with the most popular "show and shine impreza" in the UK, I didn't win but when you see how clean that engine bay is ??? The day before it was on fire!!! Yes I was standing on the A1 next to a fire engine and I spent most of the time getting smoke off the bonnet



The car still looks a little different to those pics but supporting the person who has done my mods, the sticker will be off this year as they have only been on 1 month now .

Re: My car

cars looking good !! should be a little more lively with the proper heads on.



on that blue scooby id assume he has more power ??? pulling 1st and 2nd you can put a little down to traction and driver and 3rd to an extent but even in 3rd your talking power in a 4x4 car

but if he was just pulling away in 4th he deff had more power as by then its down to te power of the car.

get some gas in there and go back surprise him

Could be the fact it's a classic and is therefore 1/3 tonne lighter too

Very nice car mate

edit: how much was the sleeving work if you don't mind me asking?

Re: My car

I think the car was about 390 at the wheels ?? That blue impreza is a fully stipped out car and it ran on team 22b in TOTB He will have about 300kilo's weight advantage as compared to my car. My car was only making 450bhp at the time and I noticed when I went into 4th gear the car didn't really seem to have much power topend. Its improved a lot since getting an extra 40bhp but I won't have another go at 1/4 my car till my other mods are done.

I'm also considering getting the anti lag mapped in as well but I don't know if its worth it ??

Re: My car

tathan the engine was already built and had sti5 heads on it so it was just dropped stright into my car for ease. So the sleeving would of been sorted by the previous owner. I think chy sells his complete block on ebay for around £3500 ???
