hey everyone, a rather hilarious event occured coming home from stadium drift on the gold coast a couple of weeks back and i think it needs to be shared. The two cars in question is my friends ($20k) '03 subaru impreza RS and my other friends '88 ($3.3k) front-wheel drive corolla. we went the long way home through labrador and pulled up next to each other at a set of lights. mate in corolla starts revvin the guts out of the shtbox, im a passenger in the subaru and mate starts revvin back...its on! the corolla absolutely blew the subie away, it eventually made some sort of effort to catch up but it was well over by then. what i wanna know is could this be put down to shit driving or are the n/a impreza's just that slow?

*bump* - it's a RS... I would rather not get a Suburu then get a RS... it's like saying.... Ok, I'll go for a Cheese burger but minus the meat and cheese!! LOL ... but hey, Corollas have potential... actually a good platform to work on...

theyve both got poxy little 4 cylinder engines, and the corolla is waaay lighter.. not suprising if you ask me..

Your mates are dumb asses for racing on a public roads.. thats how people get killed.. Im not saint but I dont race on the rd!

*DECIM8 pulls out his GAYDAR, and reads its sencing of surrounding users.. +1000000 of gayness for all 3 persons in the story*

*DECIM8 pulls out his RADAR n cuts up licences*

My view on life is this .. If it aint a nissan its worth dissin ..

actually my brother just bought an RS (2.5L). no doubt its not the fastest car in a straight line, but for a stock car it absolutely hammers through the mountains. it's almost effortless cruising and on tight roads/tracks i'd say it's pretty much on par with a stock wrx and both the subies are miles ahead of a gtst. comparing apples and oranges - as a car, i reckon they're great.

recaro bucket seats, momo steering wheel, dual airbags, creature comforts, sedan, asthetically, handling ability, not to mention it's young age and low km - it's quite a tidy STOCK package. definitely an all rounder kind of car - and in this day and age, it's definitely something to consider at those kinda prices.

thank god its only your view.....

corollas rock, thrash em and they just keeeep on chuggin.

But yeah i agree what was said before, whats the point of an rs.... its like me going and buying a non turbo r32 (no offence to anyone who has one... but seriously) i mean it may look alright, but it sounds like crap, and they go like my mums echo.

pointless, and i hope your mate with a subaru realises that he should sell his 20K (holy crap he paid how much??) rs and grow some balls.

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
