Unhappy Car feels Off

Since the rally cruise i can feel the car not feeling the same as it did, even thought its been serviced recently at RMS (2 weeks ago).

was also 'comparing' it to a mates stock wrx and his car keeps up if not goes a little bit better than mine even tho i should have 30+ kw over him.

also when i start the car, it idles from about 200 rpm to 1000 rpm until the engine warms up, and sometimes when it has warmed up.

not sure what it is.

im guesssing it could possibly be a spark plug thats gone.


any one have had a similar case? any suggestions.

You're doing what I do all the time.

Being used to the car, it doesn't feel as fast anymore.

In a roll on situation the cars would be pretty even and dependant on gear changes anyway. 40kW doesn't mean you will pull away like no tomorrow.

check the plugs, they tend to not last as long when running higher than stock boost
