(Locky) Member 85 Member For: 11y 13d Gender: Male Posted 24/04/14 09:14 PM Share Posted 24/04/14 09:14 PM These car are boats with a turbo strapped to the side. Have you never driven something light/handles?These car still weigh a silly amount and coming from anything lighter/ decent setup I cant see how people think these things are good in the corners. Maybe with some upgrades it might feel tolerable, but drive a mx5 or solvia with a few bits and pieces and I think most of you would be shocked. One of those with a decent setup is amazing and is getting close to what you would describe as 'go cart'Must have no have no car control or feel driving a turbo for saying it steps out at a moments notice. Stock powered for now, but even going around a corner on boost and it feels more sketchy from the weight. Not braking traction 24/7.Driving a car that is stilly low, a silly suspension setup that is not designed to go straight or round a corner well, with china tyres with 240kw only weighing 1150 can still drive it mundanly if you dont just put it in 2nd let the boost hold pedal flat till the boost ramps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VippiN Member 94 Member For: 16y 8d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide, Australia Posted 24/04/14 11:06 PM Share Posted 24/04/14 11:06 PM who tuned your car? are you serious about stepping out at 60kmh? I have around 350kw and cant even spin my 245 wide tyres at 40km/h anyone else on the forum find it relatively easy to spin tyres with 300kw?Pitlane Performance in Victoria. It's not like the rubber is fantastic. KU31's are bottom of the range for a performance tyre. I imagine this will change when better rubber is applied. This is my experience with my ute. Dunno but I smashed plenty of Rexes in my ol Ford. Owned one and never again. Farkin piece of sh*t kept breaking things at 180awkw. As for them smashing me off the line, well I busted that myth to with a set of Mickey Thompsons and a high stall. lol When I wasn't competing them in motorsport I had a daily 98 WRX and then a 02 STI. The WRX's have weak boxes but nothing helical cuts can't fix. The STI boxes are pretty much bullet proof. I'm sure you would've smashed a tonne, when they are stock they aren't that quick at all. You need to put a lot of money into them to be good, then they are very good. When you have 270kw without opening up the engine with AWD, semi slicks in a car that weighs 1100kg in street trim. Well they can go. Though I'm not trying to turn this into a car war, let's move on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genuine honest person Member 2,769 Member For: 10y 11m 18d Gender: Male Location: near brisbane Posted 25/04/14 12:10 AM Share Posted 25/04/14 12:10 AM In the WRX STI I had Tein coils that were corner weighted, front and rear whiteline swaybars & strut brace, anti lift kit, all new bushing and endlinks on AD08s and I still wouldn't say it handled like a go-kart. Drive a Formula Ford and then you might say it handles like a go kart..I was comparing it against standard xr6 components. obviously it will never be a go cart ,it sits higher, it is bigger,its a ute to transport your friends couch ,and it has a roof over your head so you do not get your hair out of shape or wet . most of us grown ups would drive a car on the road like it is intended to be, and on a track it will never keep up to a v8 supper car but I can certainly try .being a ute I already got a aluminium roll bar on my tray that will surly save me in a roll over . would have loved to have driven your wrx sounded like it would have been a well handling car .must have been hard for you to jump into a rear wheel drive car that needs a skilled driver to be driven the same way as your wrx , to keep up with it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
