Why?

What was the poster actually asking? Straight line? around a circuit?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that when the OP asked which is 'Quicker' he was talking about straight line stuff.................99.9% of school children who ask these type of questions are!

Simple question simple answer really :D

I was at a track day recently with two mates in brand new WRX's, 1 sedan, 1 hatch. The sedan had semi's, a tune (gained approx 50kw) and suspension. The hatch had road tyres, but big brakes (6 piston fronts), suspension and a tune.

I'm a pretty novice driver and it was my first time in the GTR on OP south. at the end of the day, they were both a second or so off my pace, and the instructors where only a second and a half or so quicker in their cars.

Yes my 32 is an N1, but it has stock suspension, stock brakes, road tyres, and i ran with the boost controller turned off. Was 35 degrees so didn't want to up the boost and stress the car.

Edit - the pro drivers where about 2 seconds quicker than me in the rexxies

Ohhh snap!
That's an even worse massacre for the WRX to march itself into.

:thumbsup:

Yes, because they're both aimed at the same market :thumbsup:

No, because we should be comparing cars that are released in the same era. ;)

That is usually the fair comparison.

But having said that, the OP has not specified what year / model WRX.

It is stated in the title R32 GTR, which was built from 1989 to 1994.

We can only assume which year / model WRX, but OP has not been back to the tread to reply.

+ I was going along with PSI GTSII post.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
