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!

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • 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
