Another great one, I quite like the music (headphone on). Although Im not sure if the car actually made it on the road/track, and 1200bhp might be a little optomistic? The body styling is not my cup of tea, but hey

Whats your set up?
Thanks for comments.
I bought the car off ebay about 18months ago as modded WRX that the bloke reckoned he'd spent about 30k on.The intention was to take it to take to the Ring and sell it when I finished rebuilding my other car that was taking longer than I wanted.
I took it to the Ring and Spar fell in love with it but a rod came out the original engine at Castle Combe in a big way so i fitted a STI8 engine and had it re-mapped at Simtek and it made 367bhp on the vf34 which I was dead chuffed with.
I also got one of my mates involved in sorting the suspension who's a touring car set-up guru. We moved the wishbones forward 20mm and fitted spherical bearings at the pivot pionts plus made new top mounts to help achieve the caster we wanted. All the spring rates and ARB's were changed and we also had to re-bend the front ARB and re-locate it due to the position of the wishbones changing.
After doing this work we had a day at Donington with Lee Paterson who's a Clio cup champion and a current Ginetta G50/55 driver fine tuning the set-up.
I did my first race at the end of last year which was the last round of the Nippon and qualified on pole then won all three races so I'm working on a bit more power now,some more suspension tweeks and 125kg diet which I reckon should make the car competitive in classic thunder and perhaps the LMA.
Thanks again for the comments

Would love to see a project thread of this and more details on the suspension setup. It seems to be completely different to the normal setups on here.
Simaler to the spec-c set up as the front wishbones are 20mm further forward or encroach 20mm further towards the front pf the car(cant remember which) with more camber than the STi or wrx.
Looks good in the corners and exiting as well

Forgot to mention, I've modded the struts front and rear so the cambers adjustable with a dowl system similar I'm told to what was run on the Mk1 Clio Cup race cars.
I'm running 4deg neg on front and 3neg on rear.
