I used Alan's cuscos and left them at the height he suggested and it worked very well. Then added a little more negative camber and the car handled better than i could have expected.

Smellyvag, with all those mods and track day/road driving, have you had any probs with the AP clutch?
I hill climb my Stiv3 and my new AP is not right!
Any comments?
That car is worth a ton more, but nobody seems interested in tuned Imprza's now?
Crazy, as I know the work involved.....

911,
Not a single problem with the AP which has only done 1000 or so miles. But to be fair, track use is not that heavy on the clutch. I would think yours has not been fitted properly.

SV, Silly question maybe, how do you run a 4.4 plated rear diff with a P1 gearbox? P1's are 3.9 or have you changed the front ratio too?

David,
Grade A gave me the complete gearbox and rear diff, which they claim to be 4.4. We had the cover off the diff last week and rally colin confirmed that it was 4.4. You checked the number the other day and told me it was a 3.9. So to be honest i dont really know

David,
Well it certainly didnt do that. It drove fine in a straight line and round bends. I presume the front diff came complete with the gearbox. To be honest i dont even think grade A know wtf they sold me LOL. Your the one that confirmed it was a P1 gearbox by the numbers i gave you. The mystery continues.................

Steveo, i dont think smelly has put it on the rollers properly. I know he has bought nearly everything brand new and this is a pure beast. He wanted to leave outside std so it looks like a normal scoob, its only when you try and race it that you realise its not! lol
YOu could easily do a few things outside and its deffo a show car.
All the mods are there to go for big bhp - all depends who maps it and how far you want to map it. It could be a 300bhp/300lbsft baby or could be a full blown 400bhp beast!

Whitey,
Yes m8 i have run it on the rollers several times, making 340 ft lb torque on powerstations rollers at 1.4 bar. I have now mapped the car to 1.1 bar boost for reliability and it sits around 300bhp. Personally for track use i prefer it at these boost levels, really the handling/brakes make the main difference on this car. Its a very balanced car that neither under or over steers but just sticks
