^^^ Nice pics - looks like you had some fun there

 

That does look like a serious road trip

 

 

Did he say twin turbo in the Cossie hatch? (2.5l)

 

 

I thought I heard that too, twice actually!

Then Dom the hooligan arrives with no mention of modifications...

So the point of the clip was a 400 bhp Evo versus a 400 bhp Subie! are pretty much on point with little difference, however we all know there are a vast in difference that wasn't mentioned, so pretty dull really.

 

It was pretty dull yes - we usually get a decent Tiff car ragging, which would highlight better the real world differences, but presume the owners of these rather nice examples declined...?

 

 

 

The only winner is the person who owns both

 

Great film, enjoyed that. Doubt that the little un dedicated at the end will be much of a petrolhead , more an electric head.

 

Excellent. Where did you get fuel? There seems to be sweet fa up there

 

Here's the pics from the return trip in Wales. It was stunning, so Wales leapt ahead of Scotland

Highest road in Wales


Above the Elan valley
I had an interesting run with a driver under instruction in an unmarked Volo near Brecon; 3 up with mirrors everywhere, not shy of pushing on, until he hit town

 

Absolutely stunning

 

Thought the hoonigan at the end was you Domino!

Also the pics of the engine bays were wrong, didn't CS400 have the cosie FMIC not a top mount!

 

nope it run a standard STI top mount

 

2009 wrx's

 

as has been said they came with a top mount ,, the pic is of the actual engine bay of the car

 

Fine.

Must have got mixed up with the aftermarket cosworth FMIC for the hatch and fitting problems ... cheers!

 

Well done Dom

 

thanks rob ,, was a really good laugh to film and got to meet some really nice blokes so Allin all a really good day out in the motors

 

Yet another reason to love the hatch, so practical when needed, front splitter..... no problem.

 

I agree. Four 18\"x8.5 with tyres.

 

 

I think you win Charly

 

wouldn't make a habit of it , but know its possible. More a weight issue than anything, flaps and skirts scuffed a couple times.

 

Rally spec

 

they do look good ,, nice to see a change from the rotas lol ,,, ,been looking for a set for my classic aswell lol,,, like the window vent ,, might have to get a set as save me dropping the rear windows when my roof vent is open lol

 

they should come with a pair of earplugs , wind noise is shocking. Definitely for show only (or actual race days obviously). I was all dissapointed , hoped to listen to my exhaust the whole journey. Instead once i got above 40 all i wanted to do was wind my windows up. Suppose thats where wind deflectors are the better option. I've seen people with both but not keen on the look.

 

Best looking aftermarket alloy there is IMO.


Those window vents must be a nightmare. I know when my kids open the rears only a few inches down the back draft is unbearable.
