** RichX's MY01 WRX **
 

This started out as a stock as a rock MY01 WRX. Just wanted to squeeze some more performance out of her in all areas, get it looking tougher, while maintaining driveability as it's my daily.

All mechanical work on the car has been done by:

Projectors are noice, nice bug mate.

rich nice mate simple mods which has made a good car to have a bit of fun in...also who took that first pic bloody awesome :p

[QUOTE=scoobygez]what bhp is that??

I wish mate, smidge over 250bhp.


[QUOTE=lebrunt]rich nice mate simple mods which has made a good car to have a bit of fun in...also who took that first pic bloody awesome :p[/QUOTE]

Has come a long way since it rolled out of the factory as a stock MY01 rexy. Props to you on the camera work bro.

Good times :)

[QUOTE=Brendan08]Omg! Vf34![/QUOTE]
hahaha

Nice mate, all you need is some rims. I reckon some white ones like what Kato had at MV. Big fan of the rims matching the paint :D

Yer not too sure about the white, the silver OEM rims which came with it kinda suited it well. Thinking of spraying them like a darker shade of silver, but not too dark.

Dunno yet :)

kings make an ALK ?

That car had Spec 'C' struts front and back when Anth had it? What happened to them?

[QUOTE=dtrally]That car had Spec 'C' struts front and back when Anth had it? What happened to them?[/QUOTE]

He was a pussy and took them out as he claimed they were too harsh. That's what he told me, took them out just before he sold it to me the tosser!

Not sure what happened to them.

[QUOTE=jEstEr?]kings make an ALK ?[/QUOTE]

When i got my SuperLows in, my mechanic ordered the springs and the ALK together. Not sure where he purchased them from, but when i got the box back with my old springs in them, was a note that said 'ALK inside box' ..

Not sure if it's King ALK .. Would have to ask him, maybe it isn't, but there is def one fitted as i can see the kit when i look under the front half of the car.

Exinguisher fitted :)

[IMG]http://members.ii.net/~rismith/WRX/Ex%20002.jpg[/IMG]

look at you, you hardcore racer :)

Fit a 2kg in the boot... For you know when...

...for when the verso spontaneously combusts :D

Hahahahahahahahaa

Motecs.

motec/verso/cosworth/mrt/pedders/alk/fireextinguisher = same!

The struts belomg to Brad Marckovic who lent them to him. When he sold the car they where removed as they didnt belong to him.. :icon_rr:

VF34 on 20 psi only good for 190kw at wheels?

My shitbox had a VF30 (so essentially same turbo) and on 1 bar (so 14.7) it returned 251hp @ the wheels (so virtually 190kw) on a dyno dynamics dyno.

[QUOTE=panab] When he sold the car they where removed as they didnt belong to him.. :icon_rr:[/QUOTE]

He gave the struts back because he was too tight to give Brad a few bucks for the struts. Probably spent all his $ on hair care products and golf clubs. :rolleyes:

Yeah, my GC8 with VF34 on 20PSI gets 246hp (183kW) at the hubs at ASG.
supporting mods are 3" turbo back, STI Y pipe, silicon intake and APS in-guard pod filter.

Steve.

hows that my gc8 with vf34 207 zorst silicon intake autronic etc etc on 18pounds of boost is making 285HP
and thats on maximum motorsports dyno

yep i got 281 hp on my old vf34 tune with ecutek & racetorque dyno, 20psi

310hp @ 1.6bar. Quit your whinging bitches :D

Sorry about spamming your thread Rich!

blue.spec - If you think you can do a better job than sean at ASG then you are more than welcome to try :)

I dare say a tired motor with 150,000km's is not going to make as much power as a fresh 207.

Do you all have the same heads? Many of variables to consider.

Dynos are a tuning tool, it's like using a toilet roll to measure your dick size.. nothing real impressive.

[QUOTE=teejay]Probably better you didnt.. my defi temp gauge had run out numbers to show how hot it was![/QUOTE]

Should of pulled over and made me bacon and eggs you homoss. Mine only pulls 258hpatws on topic at 1.3bar my powerfc reads :/

[QUOTE=Kato]310hp @ 1.6bar. Quit your whinging bitches :D[/QUOTE]

thats really nice.....can the 34 run 1.6bars?

[QUOTE=Rexxar]thats really nice.....can the 34 run 1.6bars?[/QUOTE]

Can run more than that too. Found that there was no real benefit of running more than that on my setup tho (i.e. 2 bar wasn't yielding enough gains to make it worthwhile).

Also, I had a lot of other stuff to back this up, not just plop on a VF34 on a EJ205 spec.

Bloody awesome car !!! Any issues running too rich/lean with your set up ?

Would have gone bang by now if it was running lean :) AFR's are good, stock BOV so not rich between changes.

ASG do good tunes.

Yep gotta agree run more boost get a afr gauge or even better a wideband lambda....:) :)

Looking forward to duplicate your mod list... and hopefully get similar results as well.. LOL
Currently stock at 153.5bhp atw (Tenagah).. aiming for 200-220..

220hp is easily achievable on the TD04 with a good tune and some supporting mods. Thats pretty much (my) limit for the TD04, then you want to look at changing turbo's.

The TD04 is a good turbo for squirting around the streets but it's got nothing up top in 4th. Good luck with your modding.

be interesting to see how i go rich, planning on sti tmic + tbe this week on the td04. runs? :P

[QUOTE=jEstEr?]be interesting to see how i go rich, planning on sti tmic + tbe this week on the td04. runs? :P[/QUOTE]

Given the fact you've got a tricky gearbox and will probably be getting a kato-spec tune i think it that it will be pretty quick ..

[QUOTE=RichX]Given the fact you've got a tricky gearbox ..[/QUOTE]

Yeah, one that goes 1,2,1,neutral, farkin' fark!, 3,4,5..... :p

Been a while since update, so, recent bits are:

JDM 03 STi Defi Cluster
Set of RT-615 Semi Slicks
Scan Gauge 2
New JDM 02 STi scoop (Painted the scoop fins too, looks great - Cheers to Neil at Unique Automotive Refinishing)
New Clutch, Machined flyweel - Gearbox and Diff oils. (Redline Shockproof).

Other than that, keeping it regurlarly serviced with all the good stuff and looking after it without skimping on coin. Hasn't missed a beat. Still has the second Verso that Sean and Nick did on it, with same engine mods (260hp).

Next major mod will be the 6 speed conversion in a few months.

Mods in between:

Coilovers?
Sway Bars

Long term:

207 Engine


Still really enjoying the car.

So tidy!!

New mods are all of the finer taste, love it :thumbsup:
