I hope thats weighed down with recording instrumentation, because it's badly underdamped. The way it lands at Pflanzgarten 1 reminds me of my STi5 RA with the stock STi dampers, by that point on the lap they were boiling the fluid so didnt work at all.

I hope it goes really well. It would be a great shame to loose the Impreza brand in the UK after so many years. Its no longer for me, I've grown out of hatchbacks. but i'll duck in on the bbs.

Nice to see you are still here John. I remember being at Donnington when you had the cosworth. Not sure how many years ago that was. Dam I'm getting old.

How are you, long time no see?

I took my 02 STi to the Ring with wrx Eibach's (too firm on front) and later with the "softer" Prodrive STi springs, I noticed a vast improvement in exit corning grip. yet i would have expected the reverse

My AST's from Road to Track I go 2 clicks softer front and 3-4 clicks harder rear

Whoops drifting of Topic

That could be 9 or 10 years ago now, it's frightening how it flies by!

Hi Tony, OK thanks, just very busy building and running historic racecars all over Europe these days. Good to see you are still having a blast on track.

Bought myself another STi5 RA Ltd though, nice car now, it was a shed when i bought it. I just dont get to use it enough. I havn't driven a lap at the 'ring this year, which is disgusting. Hopefully i'll whip the car in the transporter next time at the 'ring/Spa and give it a run then.

Keep well
