Guys on the way back home had a drag form a blue 02 wrx. He had a fmic, exhaust, bov, awd, stock boost(maybe) 16psi

my car 93/94 skyline turbo, exhaust, bov, stock cooler and 10/12psi. running warped spark plugs or coils. popping like crazy. I kept up with him no probs (while poping) how is this, his car is all wheel drive and my car is pretty stock and rear wheel drive.

can most of you guys kill wrxs no probs?

wrx's up to 2000 (old chasis) got faster and faster.

the 00 "bug eye" used a similar/same engine as the last of the old series but had more weight to carry so they slowed down.

but since the bug eye, they have once again been getting faster and faster, more kw, more torque. and now the current wrx is the fastest of all the one subaru have made so far

In my experience on the road (to 60kmh of course!!)....Rex has better traction off the line......but the 'line starts to pull em back in from about 4000rpm and just keeps doing it in every gear.

The only time a Rex should kill ya is in the wet!!!

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      The turbo can’t be the issue. They’re proven to make much much power than you’re making. There is something in the setup that isn’t correct. - has the exhaust got any silly step downs? - what exhaust manifold?

      Ok, just the way you wrote it made it look like you had the stagger the wrong way around

      I was getting anxious with the DVLA not knowing if the paperwork is fine or not, so I rang them. No update had been given, but I  was reassured that providing the box was ticked on the V750 then the application will go through fine. I've been checking the DVLA website pretty much every day, in the hope that it would have been done. Fast forward to Monday 29th  and I was greeted with a new screen on the check, and it finally showed as Taxed and MOT'd, woohoo! The car was in desperate need of a clean, not knowing when this day was coming it was put off. As far as I was concerned I had another 3 weeks  I'm not normally one for using snow foam, but I wanted to give it another try It hasn't cleaned up too bad considering it's 21 years old and lived on a boat for a number of weeks. The personalised number plate is J2 XBK, an illegally spaced number plate would have it read J2X BK. BK could either represent  the colour black or Baker, which is my surname. I filmed the first drive, the Youtube link will be at the end. I used the same driving route I did with the 323F V6 when I had a new exhaust installed, heres a couple of photos A few more since then Youtube video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkFHPzjGDw

      Hello sau 👋

      Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
