Project P1 600bhp +
Had photo shoot today and was real interesting. I took some pics of them all set up but I don't think I will be allowed to put them in this thread until the mag has been released.
The feature will appear in Octobers. SleeperSy's was in the August issue that is available now. So the next Redline released on 1st Aug will be the Sept issue, then we are in the next one.
Six - seven page feature so we were informed today.
Over 500 pics taken.
Thanks to Dazzler for coming with me and keeping it looking nice
This is how the car arrived for the shoot & when I got home !
Had more fly's than SleeperSy's pants !
Got 2 huge stone chips on the bonnet from RCM's to there new premises for the shoot 15 mins away

Thanks mate, yes there is. I am putting the issue down boost problems now, it just will not hit peak boost quick enough with quick changes on the strip (fine on the road) Solaris will solve that problem when it goes in though

Been busy today getting stuff sorted for TOTB. Had a little trip out and picked up some very light seats and a fibreglass boot.
Also started removing sound deadening, what a pain this job is
Anyone want my old Recaros ? No runners as I have used these but nice seats

Yep, that's it now. I said previously I would not strip totally but being picked for TOTB has changed that view, even the radio is coming out
It's off to Zen next Monday for the week to have Solaris fitted and mapped too, so LC, AL and flat shift for TOTB !

I have done an run in the 11's in my car with 450bhp 
Paul didn't finish my car till late today and the hot weather for mapping meant 4 degrees timing were pulled I'll head back down for a tweak when its cooler. It still made more power but I don't think I will bother updating my user profile as it was only 551bhp

Was a long day and didn't leave RCM until 6:45pm but it was interesting.
I am not sure how they will edit the feature. It's pretty much two P1's with very similar engines, with Marti's stripped out and purely used for drag racing against a street car with similar spec.
I have been told the October issue will be available within the last days of August.
How is your beast coming on mate ?
Good result will have to make sure I go buy a copy. Have RCM moved then or is that a work in progress ? booked in for FEB for a new rcm lump the waiting is killing me especially when i keep reading your threads.

CJ RCM have not moved into their new unit yet. Some bits & pieces to do first. They are hoping to be in there within the next couple of months.
Bet you cant wait for the new engine CJ
.What spec are you going up to matey ?
My head gasket went a few weeks back and the service I had from RCM was 110% they really looked after me (more than I can say for Subaru) made me decided to get the work done as one big job rather than the stages and dramas that I had planned for.
500bhp is the goal but the final spec is going to be sorted in December going to sit down with olly and figure it out. are you glad you went with the 2l rather than 2.5l? Is your 6 speed a standard box/ uk or jap ?

Nice
I can't remember CJ do u have a new age or classic?.
It could be something like 30bhp??? I have just found out today that paul didn't pull the timing as it was the ecu doing it
It may only be 4bhp more but its a TOTALLY different car now. I had never noticed it before but since its new tweak my suspension seems very poor and it looks like I need to upgrade this to help the car cope with the power. Had to back off at 4000rpm in low gears yesterday on the country roads as its was getting a bit mental

Cool, nice car
If you are going for a 500Bhp it will be similar to mine CJ. RCM will build your motor to withstand a lot more than 500 I guess
.A genuine 500+ is really quick in an Impreza.
Many of my mates have said to me "if you come around my house mate I will pretend I am out"
They not like

Yes, really glad it's a 2.0 opposed to a 2.5.
A 2.5 obviously has more torque but you gain much weight.
I drove my mates 2.5, running just over 400 and it boosted well quick & with the torque was good at lower rpm, but seemed to run out of power quicker.
My 2.0 pulls hard from 4K up to 8K. At 4K my boost gauge will go from zero - 2.1 bar in less that one second. The rate of acceleration in 4th,5th & 6th is awesome. Doing 102mph in 6th is at the point of boosting and if I floor it the car is doing 150 in no time at all.
Gearbox I think is UK?
