I do, well I have alot more but who cares

 

Bigger wheels are not neccesarily heavier. My OZ Ultraleggera are much lighter than the standard Subaru ones I replaced.

I also suspect some alloy calipers will be lighter than standard.

 

To be honest pal,ive only had my sti a couple of month and i said i wouldnt get into any daft antics on the road,But some other drivers ive had in all different types of cars even big spec mercs,and old people driving with kids in,just wanting a race i dont even drive my car everyday but cant believe how close ive had cars behind me wanting me to boot it,yeah you could say dont lower your self to that level,but when it happens i get pissed off and have to hand em there **** anyway.,there is a time and place for this kind of thing though and on a public road is not the one.

 

Are you sure,you have been drinking alot of cider


Have you had the map tweeked steve,do you know exactly what it is running?

 

Yours is broken isn't it

TX.

 

Work out your Hp per ton here

http://www.letstorquebhp.com/calculator.asp



My classic is somewhere between 377 - 393hp per ton

I really need to get it weighed on a weigh bridge.

 

My problem is Stu, its ********* like this who put my family at risk whilst out in the car, its ********* like this who if cause an accident are the ones to walk away whilst others suffer, its ********* like this who make my insurance premiums rise, its ********* like who think they have god given of talent behind of the wheel of a car when in reality cant drive for $hit!

 

I have been drinking a lot of cider

mapping was abandoned as a problem with the fuel pump meant it only made 1.8bar. Steven thinks its slightly quicker than the 1.5bar it was running

Proper power will be ressumed shortly

 

So you drive below the limit then Jay?

TX.

 

say's the man who's never been above the speed limit

 

Mine is 100% the only way mine is broken is its only running 1.5bar due to fueling issues

 

That's nothing. I had a race with a 2.0 dti vectra earlier apparently. I saw the driver in town after he overtook me telling his mate how he owned me

 

jayallen. You seem to be the first to take offence? Come on we all do it from time to time i just thought id share my story because i thought the m3 was quicker than it was.
Note how i didnt state the high mph i was traveling and 'racing through the gears' is something you cant help with the type r's gearbox how iever fast i was going.
I dont drive fast normaly especially in and around town, only because i had a t**t on my rear bumper and i was out in the sticks with no houses or people around what so ever that i took action.
Are you one of the blokes that go on youtube and comment on street racing vids saying how dangerous it is? if not maybe you should aim your anger at them and not a little story on snet.
I dont want to arque about it, i can 'sort of' see where you are coming from.

 

I break speed limits on a reqular basis, there is a pic in my avatar of me doing such a thing...

 

Are you telling us you've never had a spirited drive on a public road ?

 

Mate who's pisser you trying to pull

 

Define spirited drive?

 

I get loads of people beating me but who cares? I got a Nova pull a big gap from me as we were doing say 30mph and he was in front of me then floored his car. I virtually caught him up in 6th gear but I bet he was in 2nd gear the way he moved away and I bet he still tells his mates how he left my Impreza

 

Ah you have fallen into that trap
Your tyres will be heavier, your brake discs will be heavier, the alloy calipers will actually be heavier because they are larger (weigh a set of AP 4 pots against a set of subaru 4 pots, they are heavier even though they are alloy) discs, well cast iron will be heavier due to it being bigger, you "may" try to save weight but you dont save anywhere near as much as you think

Tony

 

How much do blob s weigh

 

The world is full of ********* Jay,not just motorists

I think you need to sell your car,and buy a flat cap,and a metro

 

Dude, you can wrap it up how you like but there is a difference between nudging the speed limit and and racing.

 

Few hundred kg's heavier than a classic ... 1400-1450kg?

TX.

 

WRX is 1370-1390kg, sti is 1450kg

Tony

 

Driving in a manner which could be construed dangerous or wreckless by the boys in blue .

 

Because i wont take the bate of some **** jockey who wants to race in a straight line?....because lets face it thats where all this takes place.

 

DUDE lets be fair here,there are numerous people including myself/yourself who have spent alot of money building some pretty serious cars and from time to time will let the hammer drop and also enjoy smoking cars that should be quicker than there own if it was standard.

 

this is going to be a long thread

 

Ive got my beer ready here dad

 

True nick........iam off to bed,fancy joining me
