lol im pretty sure the genuine bugeye STI WRX that did a run has a semi forged bottom end and all this extra crap and still only pulled 130 at the wheels.

hands down out of a WRC class I would be going an evo.

bang for buck! if you like the go kart feel.

lol mine feels like a trolley than a go kart. Scott knows what I mean :P

Yeah I like evos...exxxy though...

STI's come with forged internals anyway...its not like it cost him extra....but 130awkw? wtf...

Haven't really driven any of those little 4 doors. I had a quick blat in a 22B, but not long enough to tell anything about them except LAGGGGGG. Oh, and a GT3037 Evo, but same thing, punched the throttle and got to 3500 and still nothing before I ran outta space.

But really, they are a tool for going quick (targa/track) especially the Evo. They don't "feel" the same as a Nissan or Mazda. They come from more economical backgrounds- shopping trolley stock. If you are dead set serious about motorsport, then I'd get an evo. But if its a daily, or combined duties car, then you can't beat what you got. Plus all the other owners are just so cool.

A guy had built his motor using all cosworth forged parts. Supposedly cost him over $30,000.00 just for the motor.

He was 'thrashing the f**k out of it' on the way to the dyno. Cihan ran it on the dyno and after about 3500rpm the AFR shot up to about 16 or 17 before cihan took his foot off.

Would not have been a pretty sight to see that thing blow up

lol, turbo won't be for a while. Want to get the other stuff sorted first.

Like supercharger? :P

Sounds good mate. Look forward to seeing pics when it's in your ownership, and progress on your plans!

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
