White Betty
 

Hey there, introducing myself here, looks like a cool site (American Dave put me onto it). I track and tune my ol Betty pretty hard over here in SA, its a 2008 STi, and it likes EVOs they taste good :)

Thats the 'Vettel Finger' after putting Betty in 1st place at Time Attack round 1 2011
Hope to read about some good stuff here :duckie:

Welcome Aboard Martin

More pics and info on your E85 powered Betty please :D

First you answer a question Dave.....why 'Betty'
I know thats what folks (some) refer to these beauties as, but a detailed explanation would be nice

It was named after the TV show 'Ugly Betty' haha

Welcome aboard mate!

Welcome Martin!

Don't worry about these dak daks... Just keep making mine and my brother's Evo's go faster! :)

We are actually building a pretty nice EVO X for World Time Attack at the moment which should be half a thing. Personally though I have a soft spot for the ol 'Dak Dak' Subaru as they are the real underdog, and can be made to go - real - fast when the right people get hold of them. After a year doing well in my EVO X and grabbing the championship all the local EVO boys were licking their lips to see me in a Betty.....note the 'were' reference

And when the EVOs get too fast its time to roll out the real Dak-Dak for them to chew on -

Regardless Perth is a cool place, used to go there and do some tuning work for WA Performance Centre, and JPC with their GTR etc. Love it, looking forward to being back soon

Welcom Martin... good to see another "Betty" on the forums. Nice machine you have there.
