Hi all,

Just want to say I had a great time tonight, feel so guilty for what i put my car through hahah, but its all fun and games!

Kosti, your a champ for organising it, even though you got a good look at my exhaust tips the whole time! hahah:victory:

And [J] (Johno!) thanks heaps for taking all those pics,

For the record my 2 tonne stocker shotput ball, ran a best of 14.3, I cant get the bloody take-off right! damn twin turbo VOD sucks!smile

His 1st excuse was that he "left the aircon on" hahaha (he was only kidding) but Auto and Manual make a big difference,

Haha the auto and manual in suby's do make a huge difference. I used to think the 2.2 engine was useless (my dad owns an auto Gen2 GX wagon), until I drove a manual GX and realised it was just the gearbox that was terrible!

You have a b4 right? or is it an RX ?

if its a B4 you need to figure out your launch.. I tried it all, the best wayh to take off is to ride the clutch..

nah the 2.2 is rubbish even with a manual box. Either that or i have a huge exhaust leak making it the loud pedal rather than the accelerator pedal.

Pft!

There was only 1 second difference and this is between my auto (fully stock) and not to mention a full tank of fuel!!!! your is manual, (that's not stock - cause u got an xorst, airbox removed and BOV) I can't see how that's stock! :new_russi

Hahahahahah I blew you every launch and the first 60ft, but you were ripping into her to catch up at that stage.....:ohmy:

Also I had the car in drive (D) forgot to use the power button and didn't even think about switching over to tiptronic cause it i hit rev limit it would just screw it up.

Over all I am happy that i blew off a 2.5 Forester turbo :comando: he was not happy big_smile

The car was definately heat soaked to the max as it felt sluggish, my faster response was .3 something, can't wait to go again as this was my first time at the drags.

I'll post up my slip sometime over the weekend...

NOW, Let the modding begin!

CLUTCH was totally screwed...I know how to drive a stock B4 can do a 14 flat. the clutch can bearly hold 10psi before it starts to let go...until now!!

I got a 100 mph, which I reckon should be good for a 13.9 or so, ... But man I dont want to burn my clutch either.
