Which one will you choose for track?? :)
|
Out of the box the STI, because the 22B brakes are pants.
But...Upgrade the brakes and I'll take the 22B. But then...Upgrade the suspension on the STI and I'll take that. But then...Upgrade the suspension on the 22B and I'm back in that. But then..Upgrade the power in the STI to > 276 and I'm back in that, thinking the front lsd will let me get the power on earlier in the corners. It's a nonsense question. I'll keep my 22B. Chuck |

22B - Goes well, looks the nuts!
STi7 prodrive - Goes well, looks FUGLY! NO contest ;) Jacko (fat AR5E lover!) |
You are P1 WRX and I claim my prize? ;)
|
My P1 seems well suited on track....the gearing on the new STi may not be as track friendly ?
|
I thought it was P1 WR?
|
Aaah yes! You're right. I think you should claim the prize :) :D
|
Agree with mellow re the gearing, the first 3 gears are normally kept the same then they chop the next 3 down so your higher up the range, gives you good power on the roads but probably too much changing to do on a track :(
the 22B is probably the better car for the track as its got a wider track due to the wheels etc, but as said, brakes are naff and no ABS so will make things quite interesting in the wet :eek: I'd just get a 205 gti, shove a 2ltr engine in it and go for glory ;) much cheaper and your going to scare a few people too! (including yourself!) ;) Tony:D |
thanks tony.
I hve a 22b and a 205 gti. just need this 2 litre thingy now. where do I get that from? |
I think 22B will do better when it is dry but when it comes to wet STI shows itself.
When will EVO mag do a 4*4 supertest 2???Do you have any ideas?? |
highly modded 205 very scary! I had two of them?
but now have a modded p1 amd want nothing peugot except the new sports car spades, club or something? |
MkII Escort with 2.1Pinto and LSD, roll cage, plumbed in fire extinguiser, RAC log book, RAC Stage rally licence, Heart of England Championship + some change from either car + you get to compete in a real drivers atmosphere..
Go Rallying.... |
But then you have to get your hands dirty. Regularly break something. Work your bollox off in all weathers. Spend a fortune on tyres.
Bloody brilliant. :D As to original question. 22B for towing the westie would work for me. Keep the STi Type UK for comuting. :D |
22B for towing the westie :p You're just a little stirrer aren't you :D :D :D |
Adam,
Just find a breakers or find one of the 1.9 16v engines from a BX gti 16v, should make quite an interesting track car ;) Tony:D oh just dont use that french parts place in stockport ;) |
Bugger richard, you spotted that. :D LOL

Prize for funniest post this year goes to Chuckster. LOL :D
Runners up prizes for everyone who posted between that post and this post. :D |
4th gear on the STI UK = 3rd in the UK WRX.
So its BETTER for track days than the 5 speed - not worse!!!!! Try harder next time you P1 guys!!! Jza |
I dont think so jza.
on my last rtack day I rarely left 4the gear, certainly didnt go any lower than third. Such is the 22B sprint gering of the jap cars at least. More gears generally mean narrower power band. I would rather use the torque and concentrate on the braking/steering. |
What's the cornering like?
|
Cheeky one Nick. You corner like a pro.
