Me too, I rekon they embody everything that is Subaru....although I don't know how reliable this one was? How's it been to ya Richo?

[Soop]

So whens the next gearbox going in?

[Dylan]

Nice mate!

[Richo]

Thanks for the kind comments. Well I have had it for 6 weeks... So reliability is not an issue so far (for a car with 300 000kms on the clock, it feels tighter than the gen3) The only problem is occasional cold start problem, but it always ticks over the 2nd try (something with Link ECU's from what I'm told) Its been a well looked after car as far as I can tell (also forgot about the steering rack being changed) and the ex owner (stiute from RSLC) was very much into keeping it up and running and serviced well. For the NSW people, this was ES-DRS's car. It has been in Perth for about 18 months now. .. Paulysoupystickbitbullman - Not really an issue at this point in time.. Maybe when I'm making more killerwasps. 1st - 3rd has been replaced (unsure if it was due to damage or not) with PAR straight cuts, so the gearset shouldn't be that much of an issue.. sure there are other potential issue with it but that was taken into account when getting the car. It may go, but this is much more of a toy than the GX was/is so if it breaks, it will be remade, we have the technology....

[Soop]

HAhaha. Richo the Sixmilliondollarmanwhale. That has no relevance to the thread, but F*CK you

[XXB4XX]

You know what.. as the time has gone by, I have really taken a liking to the Gen1 RS, especially in good nik, I rikey your car Richo! look nice man. ps, what did the VL run.. thats what I'm really here about.. LOL

[Richo]

I'm the same. I wasn't that much of a fan, but after going on a lot of cruises with the Perth RSLC lads, I started to like them more and more VL ?? There was a VS (IIRC... or is that a VP) that I was "against", he was in the mid 15's and a EA ?? falcon. Not sure what they did ~high 14's IIRC

[Soop]

Probably a flat 10. But 12.5 is where its at y0....

[XXB4XX]

Bro.. at every race track.. somewhere somehow, an almighy VL will show up, and slap everything there up-side the head.

[Soop]

Thats pretty accurate actually. Although, every single time i've seen it happen. I can Gurantee you it wasn't a f**ken Rb30 that did it either

[Richo]

Nothing I noticed that night (was very quiet, I squeezed in 13 passes). There was a pinky purple r33 gtst driven by one of the ladies that works there.. mid to low 11's on some big ol' chromies


the car of the night was a EL xr6+T (twas a big t) that was in the 9's.. it had a 'shoot

[Soop]

Chyeh esse. Shoots iz cheating. If yah picks don't stop ya, you're a woman!

[aekOne]

You know what..

as the time has gone by, I have really taken a liking to the Gen1 RS, especially in good nik,

same here. they've really grown on me!!

looks good mate. i'm sure your gonna have a heap of fun with that

[ams]

Nice Richo, nice. If I had thumbs, i'd put them up for you.

[Soop]

I haz Alex's thumbs. and thems are up.

[Richo]

Well, all this whoring has been nice, but now for some serious discussions Engine: Suspension: What to do next.. So these are my thoughts. C&C please (i know.. millions of these threads around) Engine: No real goal, but I don't want a dyno queen, nor something that is shite to drive Turbo 'network' - vf23p20?? or 18g (maybe 20g) TD05h + twist mount + new cooler piping (well, the first bit from the turbo) + under inlet intake (can that be done with the RS intake ?) Heads: Cams or not to cams (after market or something like v3 sti heads/cams). I doubt i'm ever going to get into the realm of needing getting work done to the heads Fuel: Bigger injectors ? parallel rails (and relevant mods such as FPR) Exhaust: Headers ? such as gtspec ? Internals ??? Suspension: Different rear sway bar (stock). Soo much understeer. New struts, maybe some super streets ? New bushes where ever bushes can be changed ?

[Scuba-Roo]

more gen1s yay too bad its a series 2 brenda, milko at work has a nice VL, he said somthing about a turbo and nissan motor....runs 10s sway bar and links, maybe even a strut brace on the rear? theres a thread on rslc about changing bushings

[XXB4XX]

All jokes aside.. Put it on the gas , nos him up
