anyone on ere

 

Nope, was round at arf's surveying the damage....

dunx

 

Went on sunday

Banny

 

may have seen my black bugeye in the parking lot lol

 

I did a few runs in a black blob Sti! Couldn't get carried away though because the clutch is on the edge of letting go And I kept dumping it every time ! Old habits !

 

may have seen ur runs lol

 

Not the best times i've run up there! A near dead on 13 was the lowest it run But I wasn't expecting much more with its weight and Bhp figure! but next time I head up there it will be loaded with a new turbo and some paint thinners in the tank

 

yeah i saw you run turboturner, some launches were a bit bad but the times were good, think you car is same spec as mine.

hopefully next time im there i'll have a new turbo on too lol what turbo you going for? n what injectors/supporting mods?

 

p.s. i think my mate caught one of your early runs against the tt rs, i'll get it off him today and upload it

 

Reaction times were good less than the 1sec mark! Losing time in the 1st to 2nd change my perrin short shift is a real bitch at times! Got a 20g hybrid to try out with some methonal!if it gets near the 400 mark i'll be happy for now
The Audi-rs is nippy little thing was mapped to 360bhp but weighs only 1350kg thats 16 stone less than a new age scooby!

 

nice choice of turbo.. ive got a VF48 ready to go on alongside some 650cc injectors, i'll be happy with 380 from them

as for reaction times, in that case yours are better than mine, lol mine end up being 1.4secs

as for that rs , ive seen it perform a few times, it is nippy! owner is only 23 too , lucky sod lol

as for the weight of a newage, what is the coirrect weight for the bugeye sti's / blob stis? with full trim and no passengers?

 

Your looking at a kerb weight of around 1470-80kg and even higher gross weight! I think I'm gonna get on the Subaru weight loss program but don't wanna get it to stripped as it's used as a Daily driver for now! Plus I'm building a rx7 v8 (pictured in my garage)at the moment so I can't hammer loads of cash into the scoob;(

what can the bugeye sti block take! I've read you need to be careful with the early newage lumps above that mark! There not as tough as the later block/pistons!

If I had 45k plus sat around for a motor the tt-rs would be the last thing on my list!!

 

heres the video my mate got of your car, not very good, but sures your quick start

as for the weight bloody hell they are heavy! i thought they were jsut 1450kg
stripping the car spoils the car for daily driver use

as for the rx8 looks mint! and a better place to spend your money , leave the scoob for fast road, no point chucking money at 2 cars.

lol and yeah the tt-rs wouldnt be my choice either but each to their own i guess

as for the bugeye sti block, dont scare me lol , i thought they were good for 450? hence me limiting my mods to 400bhp max and then doing suspension. thought that would be comfortable. is that not the case? i thought all newage blocks were the same?

 

I think they Made changes in the engines on later blobs! But I'm sure there good for 450 with all the right supporting mods on all sti newages! Best to make sure though if your gonna go into the 400's!
I think I could cope without rear seats/belts and replace them with the carbon style parcel/firewall they use in rally cars and maybe some nice light buckets! In the front! That's it! And all the boot cleared of trim and the works!
