I did get beat by an STI in the previous race, messed 3rd up, but I then badly beat his time in my next run. |

Its the same engine but I thought the WRX didnt suffer in standard form due to it being less stressed?

Hey if I was lying I'd say things like... "My wife does all my modding whilst an EJ25 engine lays in the bedroom."

Whats with the infighting anyway? There all great cars. We're all on the same side.
There's always going to be a faster/better car than yours. Can't we pick on focus st's or civic type r's? Lol. |

Oi! I own a Civic Type R as well as my New Age Wagon :) To tell you the truth I was looking at type r's before getting the impreza, it was the AWD that swung it in the end. Love the high revving engine in the civic. |
civic Type r ,omg I bought one (fn2 ) with vetch controller , full milltek , induction
etc got the train to wales , didn't test drive it , bought it , 3miles down the road it was up for sale the most boaring car iv ever drove payed 7200 for it , took all the mods off, and swapped it for a 54 plate m3 running 367bhp silly of me not to test drive , but I wasn't going all that way not to get it , and I knew I'd make a nice profit from it sold the m3 for 9400 3 months later stu |

Watch out Stu, the VTEC-loving lynchmob will be along in a minute to tell you how the Vtec is there to make up for the complete lack of torque and how you must not have been driving the car properly otherwise you'd have loved it (I.e thrashing the complete bollock$ out of it constantly). :thumb: :Whatever_

If you don't like thrashing an engine don't buy a Honda VTEC. Only a subnormal gibbon with cotton wool for brains would ever buy a car without test driving it so it's hardly a fair criticism saying you have to rev it as you know that within 5 minutes of the test drive FFS! P.S. Honda S2000 - best car I ever owned :thumb: |
I would have thought the long engine friendly ratios on the WRX would mean the engine can take in excess of the 350bhp max STI owners usually quote.
I've read several accounts of WRX's running 400 now without issues, I think in the notorious mapper thread a mapper was saying he'd reluctantly mapped a few to 400 too, I'd like to know if they are still running. I'd also like to know if saving 300lb of weight puts more, negligable or less strain on an engine/gearbox. |

unless you have modded for a very low spool its not like your impreza is going anywhere under 3k anyway lol. not exatly that diffrent from a vtec. vtec is just variable cam timing except it kicks in sharply
AVCS on scoobys is the same thing really edit: actually wikipedia lied its not the same at all! |

I'd like to see how fast a CTR is vs a impreza on a motorway, flooring it in top gear at 70 mph. Though I doubt that I will as I, like most impreza owners, will be long gone by the time the vtec comes in....

F1fan , cotton wool for brains ?? me
mmm made about £3500 profit , so hardly cotton wool inside my head mate |
