this whole thing is backwards.


On another note. GoPro hero 3 black makes me happy. Smashed some sweet DH at mundaring and the black's low light focus is so good now.

I'd say about 140-145kw at the wheels on Maximums dyno, mine put out about 153kw atw with a Butler TBE, CAI and the slightly bigger VF23 (you'll have a VF24)

Just get used to the car as it is before you go too crazy, it will be quicker than you may be expecting, I think Doug pulled a 12.7 in a bog stock 98 V4 STI a few years ago.

What old man Tom said. The car will be lighning fast with the stock V4 RA gear in it. I did pull several 12.7 passes in a bunky Version 4 STi with over 180,000km on it, rattly engine, stock dump pipe, stock boost, rusty shuddery brakes and an old air filter. Mine was not an RA so it had the wide ratio box that is slightly faster over the 1/4 mile as you can stay in 4th gear. The RA version needs 5th even if you run 4th to 8000r/min.
Spend an excess money you have on getting the cambelt and idlers done, the radiator serviced etc while the donk is out. Enjoy it as a V4 for a while, you will not be dissapointed!!!

Nice that gives me an idea now , when I do get it back I'll have to learn how to drive it all over again.

because it seems like a good number but I keep forgetting how difficult it is to reach

Having been overtaken by you once I'd assume that "certain Liberty" would be Scary
