IHI is an old conversion now but it is still very effective and would seem safe on stnd internals so far. My clutch has started to slip and is being replaced next week. But it has done 10k standard, 10k chipped, 20k with ko3s and 25k on the ihi vf34 so a 65k total on a stock clutch and 5 years motoring. The new clutch supplied and fitted is £410 so its not to bad at all really. The game has to move on now as the vf34 at 340bhp is flat out this is the reason why i have a new spec turbo which i hope will get me around the 380-390bhp mark but retain good driveability. Having a lot of lag would make it a waste of time so my max aim is 390bhp. Subaru really need to be pushing the new sti's with PPP into the 340-360bhp area to match the Evo's etc and move the game on. I dont dislike any car but if you snooze you lose and a Sti with a PP pack kicking out 340-360bhp would do the marque wonders.

I used to race ALL the exotic stuff and go looking for standard (Pretty much all there was) Subaru's 6-7 years ago when I have a 230bhp 5GTT set up for the track (did 13.66 1/4mile).
BUT, the conditions had to be right to benefit the Renault otherwise they could catch me back up, or I would start understeering etc...

It used to please me immensly to catch a Scoob as I viewed those as the 'yard stick' to measure my car against (things have not changed I see!).

When I decided to buy spmething more reliable I found all the 215bhp UK stuff to be slower that i expected and ended up with a Modded Type R. I now have around 400bhp more torque, minimal lag and can carry the whole family without worrying about reliability.

I call it progress myself.

is this all the performance we are talking about here ,i thought we were talking proper fast ,ive done 13.9 at 101 .5 mph at santa pod in my old mg zs 180 .

Vtec-Abuser

Oh cause that'll be standard, won't it?
Either it was fairly heavily modded, or seriously stripped.. Or both?

mg driver

no but the leon isnt standard either is it and my car barely makes the bhp the leon has as standard

Vtec-Abuser

I never said it was.. But you made out as though your's was, that's all.. A Nova can do a 11 sec 1/4, with the right mods, if you see my point..
So you managed a 13 sec 1/4 @ over 100 mph, with a car that weighs 1235kgs and has less than 220bhp...? Either there's something you're not telling us, or there was a catapult at the start line..
You got the slip to hand? Be interested to compare..

lmao......yeah right.....whatever.....now that i would love to see proof of....

i dont just talk the talk i actually get out there !

mg driver

video hopefully
Video - a stunning day out for the mg zs as this machine ran 13.9 and the other ran 14.1 ( but also ran 13.9 on this day) well done guys.

is that proof enough ,mines the grey one

p.s no supercharger here

Vtec-Abuser

Spec? Any chance?

hectic

cant argue with that
good on ya

scoobygez

all this trying to compare a inferior seat to a website dedicated to scoobs!!! all the "my front wheel drive" is way quicker than yours!! my scooby sti type r will eat the lot of ya seats and esp rovers!!!!!! could be stage 10 tune with this and that added but it dont get traction your not going anywere fast and when you do the likes of me in type r are well gone!!!! face reality and brag on a forum dedicated to seats and rovers!! look under oap or flatcap sites??? or even sunday drivers?? grandad racers league??? eat some humble pie and except the scoob is better in std form or tuned like for like. SIMPLE EH. And when i mean that i mean a std type r or std lcr, ctr or grandad mg or modded of either ie you ad 100bhp scoob adds 100bhp. scoob is winner hands down.

mg driver

theres always one,well actually theres usually more than one on here


My sisters ex hubbys cousins dead dogs auntie drives a track prepped evo with 550 bhp and it would tiddle on your type r

scoobygez

if my weener is small you aint even got one.
go out and buy a decent car its just really silly to slate a scooby on aa scooby site isnt it?? i dont go on mg sites to slate them, now that would be silly!!! and its just gone 9pm so night night little boy.

mg driver

could you please point out were i slated scoobies on this thread
i dont need to compare with scoobies you see i used to have one
i would say you show more traits of a little boy as you constantly feel the need to point out that your papap is faster than everyone elses and then spit your dummy out if anyone objects.

scoobygez

so you should know how good/capable they are?? did you have sti type r then as they are a differant ballgame all together. should of made my post clearer wasnt aimed directly at you but all the other raveing loonies who are slateing scoob on scoobynet!!!!

hectic

Gez... think if you read the thread in its entirety, youll find no one is realy slating scoob.. even the thread starter, who by her own admission drives a Leon, plays in her hubby's scoob and likes the two for totally differing reasons. I have stated that there are a few Seats out there that would 'scare' scoobs.. not Pi$$ all over them , just 'scare them'..

scoobygez

ok ok i shall come off the defense but scoobs are still number 1

hectic

in your opinion
