    0-60 times impreza

    a rolling start would help a great deal, the 4x4 means that if hes willing to do it he could be well ahead off the start, side stepping the clutch at 4-5k gives spectacular starts on 4x4s and theres no way our humble FWD clio can compeat, but if hes a bottler or you get a rolling start you stand...

    A Bit Of Advice Please....

    i had alot of trouble getting my magnex back box to fit properly, i feel this would be the same with any aftermarket exhaust, its a very tight fit under there, especialy where it comes over the torsion bar, its also more difficult again if the cars is lowered

    2nd gear at 80mph...damage

    i had a mate who blew up a MG metro turbo doing that, and another lad i heard of doing the same thing in a calibra turbo, But in theory the clutch would have slipped and saved to worst of the damage, and maybe just possible the black smoke was from the burning clutch, its a very distinct...

    Rear Pads odd

    I fitted some new pads to the rear of my 16v about 6,000 miles ago and i noticed on saturday that they are already over 2/3rds worn, i didnt expect them to wear hardly at all, and they are only cheapy pads, but it seems alarmingly fast, but when the cars is jacked up the rear wheels spin freely...

    think I have found my track day car :)

    i meant to say numerous as opposed to taking advice from comedy people, as far as the medalion man motor, i thought they ran a gnats fart of boost so an increase in boost up in line with the fueling should give spectacular results (in theory, i dont know much about Jap cra... stuff!)

    think I have found my track day car :)

    ive heard from humerous people that the head gaskets are weak and are very expensive to repair if blown, beware when turning the boosts up that its not going to go pop straight away, but i agree it would be an animal

    Refurbed Wheels

    make sure they dont scratch them when you have the tyres fitted and of course ask for stick on weights on the inside, they look the bollox mate, far better then mine when i had a go at doing them my self, steer clear of curbs though!
