Topic: 2002 wrx rally car

[kold911]

Im running open class already so production is out of the cars spec before i even took the project over

I think you missed my point..

NO matter what class you are in, seat time will do more than extra power. Another example, the Sprongl brothers were on the podium multiple times with a ~100hp suzuki swift (that was only ~3-4 years ago) at the national events. Mind you, those guys have crazy skills, but it proves that a lot of the current cars are not driven to their potential. Yes I understand money has a lot to do with it, but it's more about spending money wisely.

I went from an 02 wrx wagon (stage 2), to a 98 RS, basically chopped the hp in half. I find I am making less mistakes because it is forcing me to be smoother and plan ahead more.

Another consideration, is anti-lag isn't cheap. It is VERY hard on the engine/turbo/etc. So you maintenance costs will definitely go up.

Nope didnt miss it at all i know i the only way to be fast is seat time i could have antoine evo and he could drive your rs and likely be faster than im.... The reason why i want that version 6 ra 444 dccd is that i can play with diff and it will let me use a hydraulic hand brake the twinscroll is long therm kind of putting the word out there so if parts come up people think about me plan is to run the car as is for 2014 else than tranny

Or rent LLTR a house and park the car on a hoist nearby   Seriously, swing by if you need help.  We are usually pretty high in the start order and might be able to lend a hand in emergencies in service if you're 20-30min back.

Also, consider buying a hoist and a descent compressor, and take some welding classes.  This is my new advice to everyone.
