Does that mean you now have de-restricted carpets?

Nice mod, coupled with your uprated rear anti roll bar I'm guessing your mpg will improve by few more miles..

He has actually. Very briefly came and went again under a new username! He's enjoying a slower pace of life in his Slowda VRS now.

So is 93bhp with just a decat.

...And so is 330bhp on a prehistoric TD05 with 1 bar. Are you using Svalbard as an intercooler?

Ah, bless, Matt tried to do a funny.

The dyno sheet is there for anyone to see, to be fair my friends didn't think the power was right when it was on the rollers, but, my drag race times back it up.

Other than myself, the only companies/people that have done ANY work other than any MOT work, are AS Performance, Revolution, SD Motorsport. My mate Alan helped me fit the front mount, and lends a hand when needed.

No mapper has been anywhere near the ECU in my car. The engine has never been out since I bought the car, Jap import so can't guarantee that it'd never been pulled out over there. Gearbox has been replaced a few times.

Feel free to ask around, I've nothing to hide.

Just because it's cost you god knows how much money, to finally beat a time I set in 2008 having spent about a grand achieving........

Finally got around to removing the carpet and roof lining, didn't realise the fuel lines are in the car!! found a quid under the air feed to the rear lol, might give it to Micky so he can hit 500hp.

My car pulled 0-60 in 3.8 secs at the strip and since 3.5 secs with the far better tyres on data logging.... Which is Porsche Carrera GT take off lol. The 5 speed scoobs are seriously quick. Would love to run 450bhp 350lbft through one, seriously the 0-60 would be insane

3.5 seconds? This could be the fastest sub-350bhp WRX in the history of the world.... ever!


Always amazes me how much these interior things like carpet actually weigh. You gonna chip away at the sound deadening too or is that a step too far?

Matt has been chasing my quarter mile time that I set in 2008, Peter. Matt has finally bettered it, fair play to him. Matt probably still doesn't realise that I've never raced for times. Matt seems to think that I'm full of shit.

Just for a look down memory lane, here's a video of me lashing a 440BHP, 2.5L Type R, mapped by Andy Forrest. It might also be a video of my best 1/4 mile time. It was also a heavier car then, it had foglights and stuff.

The sound deadening is a pita, I removed half in the boot and gave up. There's lose fitting rubber like material covering the centre console and footwells, I'll probably remove that, doesn't seem to get too hot when I've felt under them. There's an aluminium foot rest in the passenger well but I believe it may cover the ECU?

I suspect there are faster sub 350bhp/350lbft Newages to 60mph as it stands (lightweight with anti-lag etc) but it'd be a personal achievement to get there eventually. I've been on a lot of forums/drag race videos and seen times but nothing suggests there's a quicker Newage to 60.

Not at all mate, I think your ECU may have a piggy back or false boost reading from the dyno or something as 93 bhp gain from an unmapped decat and FMIC @1bar is a bit extreme.

Aren't your fuel pump or injectors close to maxed out?
