So come on then matt, the gauntlet has been put down, totb 16, put up or shut up?

Are you going to be there to show everyone how quick a wrx is?

I get the impression that it isn't going to happen....

Of course he will, he's only about 40 miles away...he'd easily get there on a fiver if he kept that rear anti roll bar on :lol1:

I'll be there anyway....messing in between the cones ;)

In that slow ass sti of. Yours? Could probably walk the course faster.... ;)

Very much doubt Matt will go and race, in fact this is probably when he'll disappear of SN for a few months...

Gaz's car goes quite well, for an STI.

It does go quite well for a standard turbo'd car with a remap :D

Top 10 at JGM day and 18th at TOTB...with a remap and a few handling tweeks :lol1:

A robin reliant is the greatest car on earth with handling mods and big stoppers. It'll beat a 918 around the Nurburgring.

Carfolio and Parkers list the 316bhp WR1 at 4.1/4.2 for it's 0-60 time. I wonder what it'd register being 200kg lighter, 18bhp more powerful and with ratios more suited for 0-60?

The Evo IV RS was a whopping 0.6 seconds faster without too drastic changes from the Evo IV GSR. Same power levels and just a 102kg lighter.

Food for thought.

I'll go whip a few MX5's and RX8's to remind myself that handling isn't the be all and end all on UK roads. Then top it off by beating the car of the year, the 380bhp Porsche GT4, at the lights. The German car driver can console himself in the fact he manages a sporty 27mpg and could have overtaken me on a corner if the roads in Wakefield weren't so eroded.

WRX beats STIO every time, and I mean every time.


Even Parkers are getting in on the "trolling"

LMFAO - "Should have bought an STI" should be changed to "Should have bought the heavier, slower & less efficient car."

Matt you're so full of sh*t I actually feel embarrassed for you fella.

Either rock up at TOTB ready to prove everyone wrong or hush you gums about your one off world beating 55mpg WRX with his magical rear anti roll bar.

I'd even be prepared to chip in and help pay the entrance fee!

The WR1 times are bull$hit...and that a well known fact ;)

The bottom half of totb last year...you'll be fine Matt! :lol1:

I'd even contribute to matts entry fee to see this 2.9 0-60....

My pal did a 2.9 in 530bhp stripped out classic against the banana and got annihilated :lol1:

This guys on a different planet :lol1:

To be fair, the 'nana is a bit fcuking swift, and Steven is a hooligan. He's broke more 6 speeds than I have 5 speeds.

Dunno what my time was or 60ft etc was, but, Andy F annihilated me in his shopping car. :lol1:

It's funny isn't it...you think you have a fast car and then :lol1:

Me too...! Knowing what it actually takes to do a 2.9 0-60 and how much it costs, tells anyone with at least 1 brain cell 300hp is not going to cut it lol

Just read some of this thread and would hope its mostly tongue in cheek.

Couple of questions tho whay have you added the following is you are keen to keep the car a WRX?

STI boot spoiler
STI bonnet scoop
STI scoop undertray
STI strut brace
STI side skirts

Also what weight figure were you using to get the 260 BHP per tonne at the wheels, I calculate the car would need to be 1280kg ish,

Why are you running such low boost, a 16G will take more boost than 1.35 bar or are you concerned that the 5 speed will not take the torque on launch ?

So make that around 1200kg kerb weight with no driver

It needs to be less than that. aRSe-Matt is confident he will get into the 11s with 330bhp level so will need under 1000kg total to do that!

I think Matt might well be able to do it (get into the 11s that is) but he's just being very weird with the way he's going about it.

Stop comparing to the STi, tell us all your mods (for interest not slating) get your car weighed at "racing" weight and at the next available opportunity go set some times. Video proof with the slips too. Or invest in a Vbox or similar.

Otherwise stop with the 0-60 in 2.9 and 11s 1/4 quotes when you haven't done better than 12.6.

Personally I want to see you get into the 11s. Why? Because I enjoy it when people exceed expectations, but just not when they're gloating about goals they've yet to get near achieving!

He's targeting my time that I set in 2008 first. :lol1:

Be in the 10's now with those rims :lol1:

Gary where's the rest of the totb times?

Top half is here Rob ;)

Some seriously good drivers in that list, and then there's Dave. :D

Made the car a little bit lighter. 1.15kg!
