@Engineer cheers for that video. would love to see a list of mods if possible. i hope it doesn't share the same glass tranny as the wrx though.. i reckon with rebuilt internals, you could see at least 650bhp/550awhp at about 26-30psi. curious about any turbo lag given the fmic?
Here's the list of the major mods. I'm sure there's some stuff I'm forgetting. lol
AMR T60R (turbo)
AMR FMIC core
Perrin FMIC pipes
Cobb Big MAF Intake
APS Inlet
DW850 Injectors
Walbro fuel pump
Koyo aluminum radiator
Turbosmart 34mm BPV
Grimmspeed AOS, lightweight pulley, EBCS, phenolic spacers
P&L Motorsports Up pipe
TiAL 38mm EWG
Cobb turbo-back
Swift lowering springs & sway bars
Deleted TGVs and secondary air injectionAs for the tranny, it's the 4AT, which is widely regarded as Subaru's 2nd strongest, after the STi's 6-spd. It also has a VTD front differential, which provides a 45:55 (F:R) mechanical split, rather than the usual 90:10 split.
Lag is a problem, due to the big turbo & huge front mount intercooler. Boost hits above 4000 rpm. Being an automatic (full-boost upshifts!), it's excellent for drag racing, though.
@pillowPANTS I've heard people really like the RA gearsets. Did you get straight-cut or helical gears? Please say straight-cut!!! That sound!
-
Lol. No, i went helical. It a daily driver that i have a lil fun with, especially in the winter. The summer car is a lil cooler
-
@Engineer appreciate that mate.

I'd love to be able to afford a cherry '69 Chevrolet Nova or '70 Olds Cutlass 442 – one can only dream

Been on the hunt for a 67-68 Camaro or a 71-72 chevelle. I did look at one nova but the X bodies just didn't do it for me. Also the cutlass W31 package is pretty sweet. Visually I like the chevelle more but they are all G bodies.
For now it's a corvette z06 2002. Awesome car with more power that is really needed.

This is the test mule for the upcoming Rolls Royce SUV. It's based on a shortened Phantom II body, and the spoiler is there to simulate the airflow over a hatchback.
Personally, I think that this car is far cooler than any oversized SUV, and Rolls should put it into production. It reminds me of Nick Ashley's Strange Rover.
-
My favorite part of the summary for the Strange Rover, describing the original production car- "Introduced in 1967, the V8-engined P5B was considerably quicker than its six-cylinder 3-Litre predecessor, the V8's 140-plus horsepower boosting top speed to 110mph and chopping 7 seconds off the 0-60mph time."

A '70 W-31 has always been my dream car [emoji106]

Now if I'd been organised and bought the Strange Rover, I could have stolen the small block from my brother's pickup. That would have shaved another seven seconds off!

Changing gears a little bit from most other cars in the thread, here's my Focus ST. It's stock other then wheels (so I can swap between summer/winter tires) and a Cobb/Mountune tune. I've had it for 3 years, and it still puts a big smile on my face at least once every time I drive it.

Fifteen52 Tarmac's?? Looks good man
