Also saw a Gray GTR in hyde park last week sitting on the side of the road in front of a ferrari of some sorts. If I wasn't in a hurry I woulda pulled over to take a look.

so according to Top Gear Australia (which sucks btw, i couldnt even finish 1 episode i was bored) Suby designed the new sti from suggestions by their rally drivers to better compete with the citron. They said something about needing a longer wheel base with less overhang in the front. The wagon i dont think was required but i personally like it. Only thing i dont like is the tail lights and about everything under the hood

here you go kenny - next version of ECUflash will have the Evox maps. simple mods will equal big gains. This is with a drop in filter and i believe a GM 3-port BCS tuned by razorlab:

I saw that. Its a beautiful thing. Now all I need is upgraded clutch paks for my big ghey transmission and I will be able to handle some torque.

i would put money on that it can hold a spike of <300wtq. Otherwise you are in for reliability issues soon down the road.
