I know the 6 speed box is sturdier, but that's obviously as it was built with the extra power in mind, but I've never really seen the need for extra gears on road cars. This isn't a Subaru thing either. How many of these luke warm hot hatches and super minis come with a gearbox that you'll be forever stirring? When they're busy changing gears I'll be enjoying a spot of torque down the rev range. How if you give me a Supercar it's a different story ....

John, the engine will still have the same profile mate. Attaching a gearbox wont affect engine performance as such. It will affect the performance on the road though.

With shorter ratios your engine will still rev the same John, you'll just not be travelling as fast per RPM.

Sweeeeeeeet. Looks like a damn fine example.

My 05 wrx did it at about 50K, so not far off it. Well worth getting it checked.

Glenburgie.

There's known issues with the rocker cover gaskets Frank. That was what mine was anyway.

Hopefully that's what happens when they've had more than 1 outing with the car!

New car on the hardest rally in the world and it comes in 2nd. You better be damn sure that's a cracking result. Fair enough the Fords fell off with troubles - but Petters times were decent. A minute behind after nearly 4 hours of racing. I'd take that any day of the week. Can't way to see it in Finland Gravel Spec and belly dragging Tarmac spec in Germany. Wonder if Petter can beat this - /

Threads merged seeing as we had 2 of them!

Yes, that looks great with the green wheels. Welcome to the forums.

Could be that the cats are collapsing. Do you notice anything at the exit of the exhuast to suggest something coming out that shouldn't be?

I get the odd whiff of v-power when stationary, but not what I'd describe as exhuast gas smell. I did have a burntish smell earlier in the year and it turned out to be the rocker gover gasket that was leaking, so some oil (very small amount) was getting on to the uppipe and burning. It was not a nice smell!

There's a shell in Inverness, and the price wasn't too bad when I was in it 2 weeks ago. Compared to the one in Perth which was 5p more!

Maybe they decided RE050 wasn't slippy enough in the rain so went for the RE070 instead

I thought the WRX had 215/45/17 and the STI had 225/45/17 for the newages?

You boys need to club together and get a car transporter to run you from paisley and back.

It's amazing how wrong they can get an attempt at parking! Hands full of opposite lock. They'll miss their blue cross sales.

That was cool. Puts my Technics 2 cylinder motorbike built in 1989 to shame.

Ehhhhh, Nope! Was half expecting to drive back up the M74 and see an EJ block lying on the hard shoulder on Sunday.

Would be interesting to see how well John's car would go up the strip without an engine

MURDERER! Nice one Paul. Good to see cars getting used for what they were built for. I must admit at this time of year I get a bit of a smug sense of satisfaction when you hit a REALLY big fly and it leaves a smudge on the windscreen the size of a small pancake.

I think he shunned away from the box.
