Yes, I searched!

The HPI project R34 ended up pulling a high 11 from memory, and I'm curious to know what mods were done to achieve it.

Does anyone have a list of what was done??

(I have a mate with a 2-door STi which I suspect is now pulling 12s, and I want to teach him a lesson!! lol)

suspect? he got any actual timeslips? Whenever I've seen an STI at the strip I haven't been overly impressed.. i.e. a $60k AWD car + $10k worth of mods.. still doing high 12's..

The old shape sti's are quicker because they are very light .

Very easy to get the 2door ( v6) to do mid 12's , all you need is a power f/c and exhaust . The current shape sti's have to lug an extra 150 kg !!

With an exhaust and remap, this thing is spinning all fours in the dry (I know, I did it lol) - thats with the clutch out and planting it in first, not a big clutch dump. 173kW at the wheels.

And it's an MY99 2 door STi. My estimate is flat 13/ high 12 based on my seat of the pants experience (and previously owning cars quicker than it!!)

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
