emts

I think your overestimating a stock cars speed.. and under estimating it's reliability Whilst a STI is very quick on a road a stock one on the track just does not have the tyres/suspension to be corning hard enough to really carry enough speed to cause a problem. plenty of people run STI's on the track and they have no probs car mags run them all the time. your just going to do a few 200 -> 60 slow downs, and a set of brembos will handle it fine. your not going to be pulling low 20's or anything. monitor your temps adjust your tyre pressure during the day (I assume STI have TPS as the stock imprezza does) and you will be fine, Sandown is normally 5 lap sessions I would be doing 2 hot 1 cool down and then 2 hot to finish (you then get a cool down coming into the pits) couple laps of the pits and don't put the handbrake on in the pit. you are going to have lots of fun.

is it the NA or the TT though. mate had both and whilst the newer TT was faster the NA sounds and looks much better. and with way too much power to use on the street anyhow he took me for a lap of sandown in the NA and we were still touching 250 on the front straight with very low corner exit speed.

he ran over a bump and it was written off...

I remember doing driver instruction for him at I think Phillip island, (might have been sandown) that thing had way too much power for the rubber on it.

ute went from 1500 to 300 by moving, no other change. I didn't put a KM restriction as I actually thought I would be doing more km now things are further away. But it just makes you better at planning and doing bigger bunnings shops and such so doing less. (super market and most food is within 1.5 km so works well)

wife just bought a new Impreza 2.0 S yesterday, 412 full comp.... I pay 300ish full comp on the ute

think that was only on the later 2.5L ones.

was discussing that with a mate the other day, he wants a cheap car till the next 911 comes out...(one extreme to the other) best we could agree on was a Liberty GT STI edition. https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Subaru-Liberty-2006/SSE-AD-5372081/?Cr=0

yeah what have they sold now 17 thousand, and now hitting the 3 year trade in, might be fun in a couple years time. (even if every-one bought the damn Autos.)

interestingly Motor magazine just did their Bang for Bucks challenge.. RS and Golf R both in top 3, sti was 10th or so.

so a couple of things on that. 1 it's NSW so DEZZ is still safe. 2, those hourly rates are how much it costs, not earnings. remembering in most cases they need tools, insurance, a vehicle to travel in advertising blah blah blah so the real take home salary is not going to be that high. (not saying they are broke or anything but that is hiding some info) 3. the big issue I see with friends who are trades, is now they are getting past the 40 mark they are looking at what next. it's hard to think of climbing though roofs and things when your late 60s, where as I can comfortably sit on my ass behind a desk to retirement age.

wow gone for a week and you all geeked out on me...

i actually fund this very easy to use...pity they removed it from our work laptops.

you mean good day apart of all the volunteers freezing to death in the rain.

yeah the Pan results were the last I entered, you were not looking good prior to that... that said Pat WTF....the only time out of the bottom 10 off the pan was when I said I wanted some Neo Limiter skids...

If the eastern suburbs one is not Chequered Tuning then try them as they have great feedback from most people on these forums. If they are then that's also why they are so busy ;) I personally used Chasers Motorsport in West Melbourne. (would make it a bit easier for you to get to as well) was very happy with the work they did (plus lots more I have had them do) http://www.chasers.com.au/tuning/

when I was desktop support dell onsite support was great. I'll call them once a week to tell them how many machines had died that week (usually 5-7%) and they would come out the next day to replace them. (I kept enough spares to swap out a HDD and get my end users fixed quickly) within 18 months all systems had been replaced at least once some more than that.. Easy to be good at something when you do the exact same thing every week. (in same time I had one service call for our IBM thinkpads. as some-one dropped one off a balcony onto tiles so needed a new screen)

So those results eh...

I think there must have been a couple of different lines through there. the few that scrapped we could hear from the start line. yet the fastest car for the 2nd pass had the lowest front lip that I saw and no scrape.

would explain why would not restart and sound was coming from that area. glad it was a cheap fix.

we hired it for a week day on the cheap a while ago to work out maps. no idea why not posted.

done.

thats where the $$$ are.

ah and we are hiring... https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/cap/view/690451771/?pathWildcard=690451771&trk=job_capjs
