Play with an Sti

Martin · Mar 25, 2006

Following on from a little doo I had with an evo at oulton I had a little play with a Impreza Sti at cadwell...would have been more fun if it was piloted by a decent driver but nevermind.

makavelli · Mar 25, 2006

every1 else seems to be going well slow in comparison

Guy · Mar 25, 2006

midge · Mar 25, 2006

Naughty Boy · Mar 25, 2006

tbh most cars that i saw on track were'nt being driven that well especially the caterhams/elise which really should be owning everything....

its my home circuit, never driven there but seen a huge amount of accidents!!!

would love ago.

Guy · Mar 25, 2006

i can vouch for his driving being scary/nice/fun/mental.. he he

he's probably still got finger impressions on his dashboard (or whats left of it) as i was trying to hold on flying round corners at 90+.. lol

rory182 · Mar 25, 2006

Love the circuit ....much better 2nd time round.I don't know why there would be alot of accidents really it's not as bad as it's made out to be imo. Some nice high speed corners and the section under the trees is fun too this and oulton are my favourite circuit i think...

M1TCH · Mar 25, 2006

ben_p · Mar 25, 2006

Nice driving.

pecan · Mar 26, 2006

GuyS, how do you get that info on the STI? Is it a DVLA check or somethin? Is it on the site?

MarkM · Mar 26, 2006

nice one Martin I always like watching your track vids.

PS. I am always surprised how quickly your car accellerates. That sti didnt even jump away from you accellerating down the straights

I am sure alot is down to the driver though.

Iain C · Mar 26, 2006

i love the way your clio falls apart on its own to try and shed the extra lbs.
The first vid the light falls down and on this 1 half the dash is missing!
That imp should have moved over way before he did

Stevie · Mar 26, 2006

Nice driving mate. I need to get myself to some track days.

Russ_16v · Mar 26, 2006

its soooo good to see my old car still terrorising lol

mini ripper · Mar 26, 2006

Sweet track vid. I might just have to get me track car!!

why do people rekon the STi is the fastest thing on earth. power to weight on a UK STi = 180bhp per tonne

power to weight on a 182 = 169bhp per tonne , 172cup =170bhp pertonne
put a few breathing mods as mentioned (simply a few hundred quid on a car that costs nothing to start with) and you have UK STi pace.

dont forget 180bhp pertonne on impreza doesnt take into account transmission loss also. when you see and STi pull away its the suddern turbo torque pull but its not impossible to keep pace with one even if they guy was driving crappy in the vid.

fwd cars understeer but a well setup coiloverd one like on the vid wont understeer as much as a stock wrx i bet, only in the wet can it have an advantage (which unfortunatley is most of the year lol )

Phill1978 · Mar 26, 2006

ohh and dont forget astra vxr`s come with 240hp alfa gta with 250 so the UK sti isnt really far ahed in terms of straight line (considering weight, trans loss) to any current powerfull hatchback imo, still fast but a remapped golf gti could easliy keep with one on the straights or just a stripped cup/williams with a few mods and a good driver

Tucks · Mar 26, 2006

Good vid Martin
Your cars running really well by the looks of it!

kully · Mar 26, 2006

nice 1 .......:race:

Christopher · Mar 26, 2006

owned.

all day long.

nice driving.

Dean · Mar 26, 2006

nice driving mate!

clio rocks!

Remedi · Mar 26, 2006

Quite a narrow track!

Looks like great fun with all the undulations.

Quality driving again:race:

MarkCup · Mar 26, 2006

Love it!

Push the "big boys" out the way all day long - I live for that on track days

Nice driving fella, got get meself to Cadwell at some point this year.

jonnyboy · Mar 26, 2006

awsome stuff, bit hairy near the beginning looks like you almost rear ended him where that mini span off maybe that looked worse on the vid than it was. A good leason taught to the Sti driver lol no point going to a track day and tickling the car round the track like he looked to be, top vid anyway usually find track vids mind numbingly boring but that was ace

Woodentop · Mar 26, 2006

excellent driving

jay s · Mar 26, 2006

please don't drive like that at fcs, most of us still want a chance

, quality driving mate, good vid too

Martin · Mar 26, 2006

cheers guys... i think it takes a couple of visits to really get the hang of cadwell...I was going a good 5 secs faster this time over the first time i drove the track. Car is running sweet...not sure whether cams are needed? lol

Play with an Sti

Brembo! Brembo! Brembo!
