"Required" mods for a competitive ESP WRX? part 2

AUTOwrXER 05-25-2004 12:06 AM

I would but I'm in Texas right now. My baby's in the garage waiting for me. I told her to put on something sexy 'cause I'm going to tear that a up when I get home :lol:

I'm a "gentle" break in advocate. I've read the other theory, but I'm not buying it.

[B]So when are you making the jump, Tom? [/B][/QUOTE]

Don't need to, already have an Sti :)

I will more then likely trade in on a Legacy GT at the end of this season and run STU next year. My car is too friggin good right now to abort this season. Plus I think a couple sponsors would kill me :lol:

[B]Kiko says the 2005 runs to over 60 in 2nd, unlike the 2004. Can anyone confirm or deny this? I don't want to go to redline with 72 miles on the car :lol: [/B][/QUOTE]

A friend has an 05 and I'll try it out tonight. I really don't think so though. I have a 7500 redline and my 6MT tops out at about 59mph w/245/45/16 tires. With 285/30/18 you are looking at about the same, or around 55mph at 7000 rpm. If you used 275/40/17 you'd gain about 3mph in 2nd gear at 7000 rpm.

I like the advance design struts, but I got them used from Derek Punch on the west coast so my pricing is not going to be the same, I got them for a steal. Not the titanium versions, but they are very lightweight overall compared to any other coilover I've used. They weighed 8lbs per corner less than my Tanabe coilovers.

I dont know how this is possible I called Jason today and while they transmissions from 04 and 05 have different part numbers the gears themselves actually have the same part numbers. So I would say it is unlikely.

What KC said......You TRULY are the poster child for indecision!:lol: :lol:

BTW - what are the chances the Legacy GT will get classed in D-Stock? If so, it could be THE car to unseat the bimmers & ITR's.:devil:

The diffs could have been changed. Does he know the final drive on the 05s?
