Lest We Forget.

:thumbsup:

After seeing how many people I know made it to dawn services today; I feel a bit hopeless.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning; we will remember them.

  • 2 weeks later...

So after ordering a white Aero bar with foggies back in July 2011, and paid for it...I get an email from Streeter who said its now ready for pickup...

Not his fault though...apparently it was sitting around in Melbourne for months...

hmmm time to have a M35 bits sale...

All the subie owners are jelly of M35's. Every time a Forrester, or a liberty wagon gets behind me, I see them lean over the wheel and squint to see whats written on the back of the car.

yeh lol you shoudlve seen them when scott put his car on the dyno.

funny thing is, they were all pulling themselves when they saw their cars hitting 170kw at all four.

then scott put his car on i think they all had wet spots in their pants or minor heart attacks.

the libertys are a nice car - but the amount of money that has to be thrown at it for minor power is f**king stupid

LOL @ the Subie owners...but you can't compare stock cars vs Scott's monster...

I was thinking of a Rex, not a Liberty or forester. If I needed a wagon I'd stick with the Stagea for sure.

I think maybe I'm just pining for something thats fast(er) off the line. Im sure the Stags will rape the WRX at the top end and all...and it is more practical...

I dunno, I spent the weekend in a mate's WRX...with only 200 awkw that thing felt alot faster then my 270awkw+ Stag...plus I like the go kart feel...hmm and the manual (albeit weak GB) thing...

Edited by ironpaw

If anything mine is the stock car Jethro, some of them had put a fair bit of coin in for those figures (30k+ with Cosworth engines) but you're right, they are lighter and have a manual option.

Just because a car feels faster doesn't mean it is though, my mates old WRX only has 130kw and feels ballistic, even with a slipping clutch. No way its actually faster though.

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

I'm pretty sure if they spent 30k+ on their car it'd be a "10 second car"? I mean, there are cars on Rexnet who doing 280-300awkw on 98/street trim and are getting 10/11 sec qtr mile...

Anyway this is not to say they're "better" or "worse"...every car has different characteristics and pro's/con's...

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
