Yeah, its a minter and fairly rare so it'll be staying as is. Does around 30km per month. GTR's are so cheap to run lol.

Geezuz!

Take it out for a drive will ya! ;)

That's like a short drive to the shops and back once per week of the month (4 weeks)...

I guess it being an ADM GTR it has a decent value to it.

Sure, thats every 2 years or so. The car did get driven a fair bit when i was in Darwin but now its pretty much a shed car. Ive put around 2000ks in two years. It will be doing a lot less now.

it's a car that cost about half of what the gtr did 20 years ago, or in perspective, the new gtr costs about the same as what the r32 did (once you take into account inflation, etc), so the sti wrx is about 1/3 the cost, has 2 less cylinders and 100cc smaller engine, and is designed to be something, that when modified, doesn't need to put out 1000hp, but only needs about 350 to 400hp with a buttload of traction and short gear ratios. different horses for different courses.

Yeah this i understand,but i have found so often that WRX drivers are ex-nissan owners that complain about not getting traction etc, so ideally they wanted 1000hp, but when they figured out they couldnt get the power to the ground (or thats its really hard to drive) they traded for less power..This is the gayness..

RBNT man i thought i was slack 6000km in 3 years, but you win..At least your car will be appreciating but.If not now eventually..There will be a boom period like the GTHOs in 20-30 years, if you can wait that long you will cash in fo' shizz

My car is exactly the same as that albeit with 20k more on the clock. Full books, original leather folder, owners manual, alf barbagallo's business card.

It was only on their lot for 3 weeks.

From memory, Wheels Magazine tested back in '91 or '92 it was 4.7 secs, ADM R32 GTR.

I have seen time vary from 4.7 - 5.3 secs.

Depending on the driver I guess...

Yes i know the GTR does im asking about the 2011 STI wrx

They say it will be slightly faster then the hatch back version because it is lighter, but did not give an exact time measurement.

So what ever time the hatch back does, knock off afew micro secs I guess...

Somewhere slower than an R1 and faster than an Aurion.

Like it makes a toss of difference anyway. Surely there are more important ways to determine a car's performance potential than a single figure (which conveniently happens to be the GTR's strong point)

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
