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!

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
    • I've managed to find this: Nissan_Stagea_AutechVersion260RS (1).pdf
    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
