I was driving home from work the other day and saw a Subaru Impreza RS and it got me thinking....."Gee they suck" and then "By golly Adz, we've never seen a WRX on the roads".

Has ANYONE seen one of the roads? I'm sure they are out there but I've never seen on and I drive at least 2 hours a day. Maybe due to the immense quantity of suckage there has been a really slow uptake? Maybe no one wants a boxer powered turbo charged Madza 3.

I know I don't :(

i've seen heaps up here in sydney...but i also work for subaru...but there's heaps driving round..i've also seen the new sti's

Looks like a Proton to me...It's hard to pick them out from the crowd now they look like all the other japanese-korean compacts.

They were u-g-l-y before but atleast they were individual in their uglyness.

The new pedestrian impact laws have a lot to answer for also..so many tall ugly cars being designed to conform to the "new" safety standards.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
