Hello ,

See the first pictures of the all new K Sport Subaru Impreza

If it goes as good as it looks I think you will agree it's going to be a fantastic season!

Sadly it was the solicitor further down the page that caught my eye

The Subaru looks interesting

I was on track with the solicitor at Snett last year - shes fast. This is me following her:

Nice vid

You seem to do well in the corners

[jez@H-Dev]

Cheers - car was handling pretty well, although the setup was all a bit rushed to be honest. Left it to the last minute

Didn't do too bad - she was 0.464 sec quicker on that lap.

How did you embed the vid? Forum wouldn't let me when I tried.

A bit rushed? What's it like when you put more time in?!

I reckon you need to start a new thread telling us about that particular car of yours

Thanks for that

Its quicker when we put more effort in

The most we've had out of it is 605bhp on Vpower fuel. Although at Snetterton we were getting much less power due to extremely high inlet air temps - over 80 deg C at the end of the straight - which is way way too high.

We were also getting fuel surge on the longer corners - we had to refit the standard fuel tank because the one we'd had made didn't meet the new safety regs.

We're also running fairly tame cams. It should take some more aggressive cams and a higher rev limit. I accidentally 'tested' the engine to 9200rpm when I miss shifted from 2nd to 1st, instead of 3rd. It all seemed to be fine, although the rev limit will remain much lower than that.

So now I've redesigned a fuel tank with integral surge tank - It'll run two pumps, one to fill the surge tank and one to feed the engine. Just waiting for it to be made. I've got some more aggressive cams to go in and we've added more vents to the FMIC and will probably add an air exit in the bonnet. With a bit of luck it'll do 600bhp on track and maybe 650 on the dyno. We'll see...

I've got plans for our 350Z too - we're going to take it steady while we modify it from 100% standard to a road usable track car. Then when we've used it a bit, go for an all out track car, twin turbos, cage etc. which will hopefully do over 1000bhp in show off mode. I think that the the turbos required to do that would not make a particularly user friendly, or fast, track car. So we'll prob swap to smaller, lower lag turbos and stick with around 7-800bhp. Getting rid of the heat will be an issue though I think.

Just checked out the original pic on the timeattack webpage - then found this video on the homepage... very intense.... some serious driving skill to keep 850BHP under control...

That car is amazing. It was just so much quicker than pretty much everything else.

Going to be cool to see what the Gobstopper 2 will be like
