Re: Blew away a WRX today
STI's are NOT meant to be taken offroad. No car is. It just so happens to be a good platform to go offroad, seeing as it's AWD and what not. It takes a lot to make these cars 'rally ready.' Go launch it like those guys do and I bet it wont turn out good.

dude, it understeers because it is awd.... it has a **** in the middle, that will transfer percentages of power to front or rear. you wanna see it over steer, put that ***** majority to the back.
just because it understeers does not mean the suspension sucks, get a clue man. all cars understeer, even f1 cars, drift cars, etc. you need a car to understeer... if it didnt, oversteer would kill alot of people.

yea... i have seen many people custom some pretty incredible setups, but nothing has been mass produced like that oldschool HKS setup.
i bet the velocity on that vehicle is amazing!

Re: Blew away a WRX today
hey SYTFU R6 i just sold my built to the hilt FC. what all is done to yours? ill post up some pics of my setup. Last dyno i had i cranked out 450rwhp on pump and 1bar. interested to your setup. My roomate is just about to finish up his race prepped FC. Mostly setup for auto-x but well take her to the drags now and again to **** up some ppl.
And to all you ppl who claim that you have to spend 50k in order to make a car fast enough to beat a 600 you obviously have never been around "seriously" fast cars and obviously base your opinions off of your everyday hondas with huge exhausts that make alot of noise and go no-where. As stated b4 i made almost 500hp in a 2800 lb street car that was driven almost every day. Trust me, that was plenty to give 600's a bad day from a roll on the freeway.
And to the guy who said hulk hogan has like 20 supras and one of them makes 1700hp or something, your mistaken my friend. Ive met Hulk a handfull of times when i still lived in tampa at the quaker steak and lube meets and granted him and his son are huge supra fans, and his green supra does make great power its not n e where near 1700. However, Marco Djuric has a white supra that makes over 1500hp that he is capable of driving to the track and then running 8's in the quarter. But i doubt that would beat a 600, right guys?
And oddly enough there actually is a wrx here in phoenix who thought it would be cool to supercharge his already turboed boxer. However afterwords, when all the money was spent, and time invested, he still ran a super shitty 14 flat at the track and was laughed at. Im not even gonna go into some of the stuff i want to after reading some of these posts.
