DRIVE TO BELIEVE - SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI CAR

What is the fascination in a Subaru newsgroup with Porsches? This subject keeps coming up. Who are the Porsche owners who claim to not be interested in Subarus, and yet post here? Who cares if someone else thinks their car is faster? It's all just talk. Everybody has thier pet vehicle, whether Subaru or Porsche or bike or other which they think will 'crucify' everything else. Nothing can beat all comers in all conditions, whether bike or car. Quoting maximum figures is a naieve argument for superiority on the road. Driving fast on the road is like being safe on the road - it's not about getting it right, it's about not getting it wrong. You can be taking seconds out of someone all over the place, but miss just one overtaking oportunity (and if you think you can spot them all safely when you're going over 100 mph faster than the surrounding traffic, which in vehicles like this you will be, then quit your day job) and they wi...

Rally co-driver Michael “Beef” Park was killed in an accident during the Wales Rally Great Britain, when his Peugeot 307 piloted by teammate Markko Martin slammed into a tree — predominately on the passenger side — during the race’s stage 15. Martin was reportedly uninjured. Park, 39, of Newent, Gloucestershire, UK, had been on the championship rally circuit since 1994, first co-driving for Mark Higgins, then for Martin with the Subaru, Ford and most recently Peugeot teams. The race’s remaining stages were cancelled, though calling of the winner was complicated by the tragedy: Peugeot’s Marcus Gronholm withdrew, meaning Citroen’s Sebastian Loeb would have retained his world title — had Loeb not deliberately threw the race in deference to Park, leaving Subaru’s Petter Solberg as rally winner.

We mentioned a couple of months ago that motocross hero Travis Pastrana is trying his hand at rallying. Our man with the hip-hops, Brian hipped us to the fact that Pastrana’s effort’s got some serious muscle behind it, but muscle wasn’t enough to save Travis and his co-driver Christian Edstrom from what can only be termed as a gnarly roll when Pastrana carried too much speed into a corner. The footage is shot from three angles, so you can watch Travis as the car flips. And flips. And flips again. And again. At one point, his arm gets sucked out the window from the force of the roll. He’s lucky he was able to hold onto it. Jalopnik

Building vs WRX STI My wife and I were out late last night at a movie and came home around 12. As we pulled into the neighborhood we saw an accident. An STi plowed right into our neighboring condos. It was just some punk idiot kid. I called 911 and reported the problem and I checked up on the kid to see if he was ok and anyone else was hurt. Luckily no one was hurt, but I'm sure the kid is going to get a raping from his parents and insurance company. fairfaxunderground forum

For sure every one of us knows how important the headlights are in our vehicle especially during driving at night. You can’t just travel that long or that far without having those proper headlights on your vehicle. At night, during rainy days or even during snowstorms, you will probably realize how essential they are to us and to our cars. The headlights is a light that is usually attached to the front of the vehicle, specifically to a car that has the purpose of illuminating the road ahead especially during periods of visibility, just like at night or precipitation. The modern headlights nowadays are electric floodlights that are positioned in pairs, in one of each side of a moving car. The headlights are usually the synthesis of multiple lamps and reflectors that can be switched between the two modes or configurations. These are the low beams and the high beams. Typically, the high beams cast more light at a higher angle while allowing the driver to see further away, probabl...

BOV offers adjustable sound and quick response . Two chambered body using an assisting vacuum hose. This unit incorporates a revolutionary design in boost pressure release systems. Blow Off Valves System allow built up boost pressures to escape into the atmosphere when the engine is no longer under load . This prevents the pressure from backing up into the turbine compressor housing, causing it to rapidly stop, and causing potentially destructive damage to the turbo. The BOV is also adjustable to allow desired amounts of boost response between shifts. Unlike conventional single chambered blow off valves, the Twin Chamber Blow Off Valve System uses two separate chambers with an assisting pressure hose . This design allows for a short and highly sensitive spring in the first chamber that controls a piston and a valve in the secondary chamber. The result: quicker valve response under low AND high boost pressures. The blow off valve also gives the user the ability to adjust the blow o...
