LOL :w00t::):laugh:

Coming from someone who drives a N/A r33... slowest skylin ever made that is a bit harsh. I really think you need to wake up to yourself before you make silly comments like that, i have a lot of time/respect for skylines, but any wrx would be better then your car. The new WRX is definetly not something thats easy on the eye, but i dont think it will be that bad once everyone gets used to it/sees it in person.

- He was talking about looks, not power.

- Even though he has a NA skyline, he can go sidways (and you dont need big power and dont need to go fast to get a little sideways), WRX cant = less fun IMO.

- to have fun in a WRX and feel their real handling capability - you need a race track..... how many people have their CAMS licence?? not many, and to go fast on the streets, not exactly the best idea.

Everyone has their own views and opinions which is fair enough (I still love r31's), i just thought i'd put in my 2c worth. :sorcerer:

back on topic - in my opinion, the nicest WRX's were the first ones, and the 2006 model, the new one about to come out, i dont like.

This car is the US version, and you know how ugly they like their cars. You can see full photos at www.subaru.com .

Apparently ugly is in right now, with cars like Ssanyong Stavic, Honda CR-V, Peugeot 207. It seems like no car maker can get it right.

But that Subaru looks like a Kia got raped by a Hyundai. It's probably a superior car to the current one in terms of quality and performance, but who wan't to park an ugmo like that is their driveway no matter how good it is.

Yeah, I agree, that thing isn't just ugly, it is a bloody monstrosity!!! Looks a Suzuki and a Hyundai fused into one and taken to the cleaners with a ten foot ugly stick!

When are performance car designers going to get that "smiley face" front end design is WRONG!

A performance car face should look "MEAN & ANGRY" in general terms!

Girly cars smile!

Mens cars scowl! :bunny:

i hope the STi which will be relelased in late 2008 early 2009 will look a lot better.

If it doesnt I'll get an evo10.

The real problem I face with both these new cars STI and Evo10 is the narrow looks of the whole package.

If I sit on the drivers side I am able to touch the passenger side windows without leaning across.

I know that in England and Japan there are width restrictions so I wonder if this is the problem with the look of these new cars today.

Some one with photo shop......could you please post up the same pic...but wider body...this I believe will shed some light on the

current design problems engineers are having to work around.

Anyhoo.....I would never buy that ugly thing....but have always liked WRX STi's.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
