Currently? I would hope his car with all that effort and money buried in it would be good for an 11s @ 135mph /4 at least....

Whether he can drive it to those numbers is another story...

Rumour has it, that a very skilled pilot could row mine to an 11.5s @ 125mph 1/4 - but then again I only have about $2500.00 of work done to my car

haha but you started ahead

I dont expect apologies, I thought you were being serious so I took it seriously. I guess its fine now.

Yah I'm getting azeni rt-615's installed tomorrow, they should do well at the /4 mile, but I dont think I will run any miracles on my first time out this year. Specially not at NER, which was repaved last year...aka no traction. Theres a ton of 8 sec cars that cant run better than 10's and thats still being everywhere. My friend drove his 390whp STI last week and spun 1st and most of 2nd. 2.6 sec 60' and still managed a 110mph trap in the 12's.

We'll see, I dont expect anything better than low 12's with the current conditions. Althought I know both our cars are capable of 11.9 at least.

well, I've had my car back for a over 3k miles now pumping 400 to the wheels. Absolutely no problem yay. knock on wood. The azenis are awesome, they are a perfect match for the suspension, it just feels like you can tackle anything without going sideways.
Thought I'd show some pics for good measure...

Some Exterior work, Equal length headers and Bride seats are what I'm shooting for now...Maybe in the near future.

Good to see your scoob is running fast and healthly. It looks great and 400bhp is a nice figuire too

04RCSTI · 05-28-2006, 11:24 AM

Ahh - bring your car down to Houston and we can run wheel to wheel - I'll even let you keep up if need be

Hope it holds together this time round - we need a long term hi-hp Scubi on the board

Only just got back to this thread since u posted the update.car is lookin good and 400hp to the wheels is just fantastic.and the car itself is just gorgeous.congrats

04RCSTI · 06-09-2006, 03:52 PM

I'll Post some vids up soon. I am going to get tuned again soon and bring the boost up another 4 or 5 pounds. Hoping to gain a good 40whp. I'll get some vids as soon as I can. My friend and I took a ride and although we didnt measure it with a chronometer we did a quick 0-60-80mph. Its definately under 4 seconds to 60 witthout breaking a sweat and almost nothing more to 80. This is Just what i wanted, fast accell and excellent handling.

I got into a friendly race with a c6 Vette a couple days ago, I dont think he was too happy about getting romped by a 4 cyinder...I'm looking for a 911 Turbo to see how I stack up...

Some new stuff coming soon, thanksfor the kind words again guys.

RC45 · 06-09-2006, 04:35 PM

Ahhh - the old "1 1 thousand, 2 1 thousand, 3 1 thousand 4 1 thousand method..." - thats about as accurate as you can get

Your car seems to be coming along nicely...

Oh - and so you have a reference for your 0-60 in 4s run, here's what it should look like

:arrow: http://media.rc45.net/media/redline.zip

I need to try that again, now that my car has 100 more rwhp than when that video was shot

Post yours up asap - it should be an enjoyable watch...

04RCSTI · 06-10-2006, 04:36 PM

hahaha sure man. I'll get it done when I can. It was more of a "my friend is looking at a watch" type of thing hehe.

Thanks for having an STI in your sig

the guy that parks next to me in my garage just got a Z06, its pretty nice. I talked to him, seemed like a cool guy. I told him we should race jokingly and he said "you dont want to do that" haha. That car would smoke me.

Just havent had time lately to do anything car related other than drive it...lots of of work to pay for the parts I want to buy...

04RCSTI · 08-04-2006, 01:28 AM

Well, I havent posted much in a while so I figured why not.
To the nonbelievers, the car has been running now for 5000 + miles at 500bhp with absolutely no issues. Yay

I went to the beach the other afternoon to see if I could catch a bit of the sunset and here's a few of the pictures that I liked.

More of the engine coming soon....

gis · 08-04-2006, 06:23 AM
