I have a measly UK Impreza Turbo MY99 ~250bhp.

The two cars mentioned above are a mates and he wants to do some jap-slaying.

If anyone is up for the challenge, he is more than willing to meet up...

I'll give him a run for his money, get him to bring his camaro along,in couple of months i'll have a go if he likes,

as far as this one is concerned:
Sylva Fury,
Vauxhall/Cosworth XE 2 litre 16 valve, QED Cams, SBD Dry Sump, 2x Weber
45DCOEs, Highpower Nitrous, BTB Exhaust, 3.89:1 LSD, Caterham R500 magnesium
wheels, Avon ACB10 tyres, BGH Close ratio gearbox, Paddle Clutch, Racelogic
traction & launch control (professional version), 250bhp+ / 620kg = 420bhp /
ton
.............
.............
Its not a proper car, its like getting a Lada stripping it off and stick a 400bhp engine in it, or get a m o p e d and stick a nitrous engine in it,not fair thus i won't get any pleasure racing a banger

Car for car fair battle

Does he fancy a trip to the Ring?

I'm sure someone with a Jap car (probably a standard STI V Type RA V Limited) would like to meet him, as would I in my 1.4 16V Skoda . Assumes both his cars are road legal.

Question

Supra460, can u give details of where you will be (offical trackday-type event and not a 'private' road!)?

I'll pass details to him and he'll attend (has an on board vid camera too, so maybe he can post some cool vids)
