Looks like a monster !!

Did 126.9mph average,

Bikes do 133 odd

Don't think it will match the bikes this week but still a great achievement

Certainly is a great achievement, amazing that the WRC tech is still being used, shows how good it was / is.

 

Great stuff.

 

Would love to know exact specs,

What block, cams, turbo, everything haha !

Suspension looks mental i think is that an external reservoir in the engine bay ?

Manifolds ?

Has to be the ultimate road weapon !

 

Yes external reservoirs mounted on the wheel arches.

Manifolds will be a low mount conversion, allows for a straighter exhaust path as the turbo is minted down next to the manifolds

 

its based on matt's wrx, mystery solved

 

 

I thought it had linglong tyres on it. It all makes sense now!!!!

 

if thats the case it would be quicker with a 5 speed

 

It also averaged 65 mpg over the run....

Very impressive this afternoon. 128.73mph lap.

Not at all popular with the marshalls though. If it crashed into the crowd....

 

Not bad for the crappy 2.5 lump !! Lol

 

Its not a 2.5 lol....

 

That's why it survived till the end
Subaru knew better than to use that turd when reliability was needed.

 

My mistake lol , should of read the spec first ! What a machine that is !

 

If anyone follows rallying , Peter Lloyd had the last 2008 hatch WRC S14 built , and it was bought by Prodrive earlier this year , and that car has been stripped to build this car , although it will have some engine changes as it doesn't have a turbo restrictor fitted now

 

I was speaking to a chap from Prodrive. Although it's a highly modified set up they dropped it on to the chassis from the next impreza model.

 

 

wow that evo looks fast in the last video

 

Turbo is in the stock location and running a FMIC. The turbo uses a filter mounted where the TMIC would normally sit!

 

Doesn't sound too bad either

 

That's not wrc spec then?

 

Could well be part of the anti lag system. The earlier Subaru WRC cars used a considerably more interesting method than most.

Its not a full WRC spec car. It's heavily based on one but certain parts are unique to this car. Whatever spec it is its a monster!

 

You can just make out the turbo in this pic

 

Anyone know what dampers they are?

EXE-TC?

 

Certainly not off the shelf stuff, I bet the suspension setup would cost minimum £10k,

Sure the full specs will be released at the end of week when they know their best time.

 

From other pictures i have seen it is running AP racing 6 pots with g pattern discs which look awesome.

 

Yes EXE-TC , I have these on my WRC car , they are very good , I took mine to Exeter to have mine rebuilt 2 years ago , was told my car set would be £14k new !

The rebuild cost of £1350 wasn't so bad lol

 

Thanks Ian - might have to let that option go then
