Well that was the more of the major ones there with the alignment. 2 flat tires as a result. Then there was an issue with running 87 so 93 is now used. Oh and that spec 2 clutch got burned out rather quickly.

 

STI badge on a non STI = stupid

kinda like the G35 i saw today with a 350GT badge on it... altho i have no idea what that was about.

 

You guys wanna talk about badges? today on my way to work i saw a toyota matrix with BMW badges where toyota badge is supposed to be, Corvette badges and an upside down M3 badge on the bottom right trunk part. Here i got a pic but its with my phone, so hopefully you guys can see.

 

Oh ya also it had dual exhaust

 

^ Wow, just wow......[>:]




Our G35 is the Skyline 350GT in Japan....

 

^^^ but here in america they are G35s, so that sounds a little ricey to me. Oh, and they don't have infinity in Japan so its a nissan skyline 350gt.

 

hmmm, tuff one. Since there is no tune listed I would say that he would run somewhere between 14.1 and 15.3 in the quarter mile. The FMIC isn't gonna do much without an aftermarket turbo. He's probably losing a bit of boost because of it.

And a blow off valve will make it worse.. big no no in a metered air system. Pisses me off when people do that to thier subies.

 

Duh.

And yeah, Skyline badges on G35's and Fairlady badges on USDM Z are both ghey....

 

Here's a pic of the engine bay.

 

errhmmm.. yeah.. i think high 13s if he is a good driver

i was going to mention the thing about how every little thing wrx/sti owners do to their car they like to list.. check out wrxmodders.com and then look at their garages.. some are good and only list real stuff.. some people will list every little component of something.. like their audio system and each speaker and the box and each sub and the little **** they added here to adjust bass and other things that i would just list as aftermarket stereo.. if that

yeah.. its mostly cosmetic mods they did to that thing.. and launching at high rpm? my friend bought his wrx and it had to have the tranny rebuilt and the previous owner had apparently broken both axles (according to the service guys at subaru) from a hard launch...luckily it was all warrantied.. and he loves it now.. although he really wants an Sti


I have also heard front mount intercoolers on those aren't as good.. because the stock position under the hood is better because that scoop really helps cool it down when the turbo kicks in..

whatelse.. yeah.. w/o a tune.. he may only be as fast as stock.. but i don't know.. btw.. you don't have to have a custom dyno tune.. he may have hooked his laptop up to it and ran their freeware tuner software on it and gotten tuned really well.. but didn't mention it.. or your friend should do that.. get the $10 cable and hook it up to a laptop.. he can also order tunes online for it for his specific mods... make it WORLDS better..
