the fact is emma is manually better than You to:norty:
I know You did not fit roof flap and aerocatches -nothing on Your car btw Yes we never met and I have no Ginger friends don't see nothing wrong with looking on fuel consumption- put a race fuel than why you buy cheap race seats instead some proper from sparco or better brands if money is no issue And where did I say money is no issue? |

yes now compare the pictures as remember it was bought already modded. ill start you off one has fmic,one doesnt. one has aerocatches,one doesnt. one has black headlights,one has chrome so if matt and his mate are correct the car was bought ready modded so surely it cant be same car :thumb: so either someone is making stuff up to suit the argument or its not the same car |

but to be fair he is so thick he had to pay sc to fit a crank pulley so not very mechanically minded, |

Just wondered why only 60 in 2nd,do you change a little early for better power in the next gear or does your car only do 60 in 2nd I usually change just before I hit the limiter around 7500 and whenever I've had a quick look at the dash it reads just over 60 which means around 58 gps speed due to my MPH reading being slightly out. |
This thread is so daft it defies belief.
The WRX trolls arguing their cars are superior to the STI is plain embarassing. Sorry guys, it's the half fat version, the compromise, the daily driver. It'd be like arguing 335s are superior to M3s, or that the base 911 is superior to the Turbo. |

Yeah UK, I just wish I'd done my research before buying and got a JDM V-Limited WRX. I usually change just before I hit the limiter around 7500 and whenever I've had a quick look at the dash it reads just over 60 which means around 58 gps speed due to my MPH reading being slightly out. (Maybe my speedo is out but I'm pretty sure its not) |

Its like the evo fq400 being unbearable to live with but it you get the fq360 its more everyday and with a tune,faster! |

I change just before 68mph cause 70mph is on the limiter. What size wheels do you have? Mine are 18s.
(Maybe my speedo is out but I'm pretty sure its not) Best way to tell is use a GPS tracker to measure your speed or go past one of those electric signs that tell you your speed. |

They dont5 work over about 40mph just a sad face. I think it would encourage people to go fast if they showed you a proper read out lol

It should do. Unless you are running crazy low profiles that mean the diameter is the same as the OE 17" set-up.

Part of that is because the 40 profile you have used has made your speed incorrect by an extra 3.5% compared to the 45 profile tyre
Actually you're wrong. A 225/40/18 will read less than 2% lower than the original wheel/tyre combination. This would mean he would have slightly more profile than you have :thumb: |

I think the OE might actually be 16" come to think of it.

What a bloody snore fest. Why don't you start your own thread?

I was just talking speedo reading rather than actual speed http://www.fastwrx.com/pages/subaru-...el-information This states 17" though and relates to the UK http://www.subaru-impreza.org/forum/...eza-specs.html Interesting to note extra-urban MPG for both the Bugeyes in that link WRX 35.8 MPG STI 29.7 MPG Looks like we've all got bad driving techniques. With the weight saving I've done, removal of parasitics and mods to reduce rotational mass, I should be bettering my 32.5 mpg average by a long way. :( Has anyone noticed a MPG improvement from fitting a lightweight flywheel? I know there's less work for the engine but there's also the fact revs drop quicker and the crank may loose a bit of momentum when cruising on and off light throttle? |

I tend to get 28-32mpg around town and 32-40mpg rural. 11mpg is ludicrously bad. |

This states 16". The info may be for the american market Scoobs though. :confused:

Of course it's American, look at the spelling and shopping 'cart'. No standard 'performance' Impreza came with 16" wheels in the UK, not even the poverty spec ones. I thought you would know that being a WRX fan!?

My Missus' Audi claims she should get around 60MPG on a run but she rarely sees over 45MPG On the Audi A2 forums they don't ever seem to be getting the 70 odd MPG Audi claim, mid 50's seems to be the norm. I suppose when they test cars it's done on even ground in idyllic conditions. That's why I did 40mpg on a sunny day on a flat quiet back road to Bridlington. |
