surely it would be 500cc lighter

Now that IS tractability!

I bet other road users look on wide-eyed, with their jaws having hit the floor?

 

Meaning new age is heavier than classic ?

I feel you would gain more "over all" by spending money on power when owning a classic opposed to a new age, unless one intends to go all the way ie Team Ice car.

 

Ahh, i see. Thought you were talking about a 257 as opposed to a 207 engine.

 

No, sorry I should have worded it better

 

SteveBT: what turbo you running mate?

Do you find impressive power from 4th to 6th ? and what rpm do you start boosting?

You running a .65 or .82 or larger ?

 

Steve is a running a GT35 with a 0.63 housing

PM for more details

 

I have no experience but fancy a career change. I'm bored as **** lately.

Do you do an ageing apprentice scheme? LOL

 

I may not have beaten Sy's time but I have bettered his terminal RWYB - Street Challenge - Tables 2009

 

I do have training schemes but they work out hugely expensive as it takes a long time to achieve and we cannot charge for the trainee.

To meet current trading standards newly imposed regulations we also have a full training programme for "people with special needs", individuals with learning difficulties, former offenders and adults that have been refused numerous job offers due to having an unstable manner, but unfortunately Daz you live too far away mate.

 

Good figures Clive!.....

Watch out for SleeperSy when the new transmission is fitted though mate!

I shall need to do some more runs and improve my dismal rating

 

Yes I know but that is a way off yet so I will take the glory now Also I have a new little ECU to go in which will give me those fancy features like launch control etc next week

 

Bugger! I meet all of the above requirements apart from location 'twas worth a shot

 

I realise that matey.

Lets all have a guess at Madhammers best time when next on drag strip.

I predict your best run at the next meet at 10.88 at 129 .

SleeperSY will be donating the prizes.

1st prize. An AK47 (7.62mm) with 500 armour piecing rounds.
2nd prize. Bulletproof glass & armour plating for an Impreza.
3rd prize. Three years subscription to BUPA.

 

I have resigned myself to the fact that I will never do a good time in my car. I had ago at york raceway on sunday and I was averaging 11.9secs with 125mph terminals. I did those kind of runs 3 times. The car lifts even more at the front on launch now and it does like to go sideways even more A friend has told me if I fitted an anti lift kit to my car it would solve my problems, well that was until I told him it was already fitted

 

not entirely true there clive
my lardy newage was 1404 on corner weights iirc at 30/130 day b4 interior came out
would be interesting to see what yours (fully trimmed classic) with mods and six speed weighs?
remember your car prob weighs more now that manufactured weight

 

I think the 6 speed is 60 kg more Steve.
The new engine has lightweight bits, but other things are bigger so it will probably even out regarding engine?

The P1 is 1295 kerb weight so I reckon it weighs around 1355.

The 2'5 Sti has a kerb weight of 1495 I think.

At 500Bhp the P1 worked out at 423Bhp per ton.

 

sorry mate think you missed the point 2.5 weighs more because its in a newage not cos its a 2.5
what is the difference in weight from a 2.0 newage sti compared to a 2.5 newage sti i wonder?

what bits are lightweight in your engine then clive?

 

Just found a picture of my car for sunday I'm about 20ft past the start line??? But look how much the front arches are still lifting Pity I'm sooo crap at gear changing.

 

Quality pic Steve, what suspension do you have? Are you running DCCD?

I think I read somewhere that the 6 speed is circa 30KG heaver than the six speed

 

Daz I'm on stadard JDM STI suspension with anti lift and front and rear roll bars. IT was always good enough for me till my last tweak!!!! The car made FOUR bhp more but its not the same car!!!! Its now evident that I need new suspesion as when I drive normally the car doesn't feel as safe. I let steven darley drive it and even he came back with a smile on his face It was nice before but its friggin mint now

 

It certainly shifts Steve

The quicker you can shift gear, the less time there is for body dive and rise. Watch this from me 4 and half years ago against Paul of Zen. You should see very little dive and rise between changes.

The clip is full weight STi5, 555bhp, bridgestone S02 tyres.

Nice pic Steve. 11.9 is a good start, practice is the key as I have found out.

I've been busy tonight again, managed to finally get all the sound deadening out. Also all of stereo and speakers. I reckon that's 20-25kg gone there, 20kg on seats at least also, just got to get new boot sprayed and fitted and I reckon on nearly 60kg down from previous

 

I watched it 3 times and it looked flat all the time??? I didnt see the final time! Well the car is always there for you if you have time Paul can also have ago as well

 

10.92, Paul did a 10.62.

 

???

The point I was trying to make Steve is that I believe it pays to mod a classic opposed to a newage as the benefits are greater.

 

Cool, that's better than 60KG
