DRIVE TO BELIEVE - SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI CAR

Decreasing the weight of your car will improve all elements of performance. You will accelerate faster, turn easier, and stop better if your car weighs less. If you’re going to the race track, you’ll want to shed as many pounds as possible before pulling on to the track. Some simple things you can do to reduce the weight of your car: Remove any subwoofers or other stereo gear Remove your spare tire, jack, tools, hatch cover, and rear carpet Remove all floor mats (this is good to do anyway for racing, to avoid getting the driver’s mat caught up in the pedals) If you’re really obsessed with weight reduction, empty the windshield washer bottles (every little bit helps!) If you’re drag racing, run your fuel down to a 1/4 tank. (If you’re road racing, fill up so you won’t starve the engine as the fuel sloshes around in the turns.) If you've got time and it's practical, remove the passenger seat, and the rear seat.

The Profec B has long been a favorite boost controller for its simplicity and effectiveness. Now the Spec II improves on the original design. As always, boost control is simple as a twist of a knob, with a high and low setting. A new backlit LCD display shows current boost -- and it reads in PSI! (Or KPa if you want).

This seven-spoke wheel features a strong thick spoke design that looks great and has excellent brake clearance. They even fit over the STi calipers! The PFF-7 is a "flow-formed" cast design that, at 19.8 pounds, is lighter than a traditional cast wheel. The GC-07 is a forged wheel that is lighter still. PFF-7 comes in 18 x 8" size, and your choice of British Bronze, British Pewter, Bright Flitter (very much like Pewter, but a little more green cast), and Gold. GC-07 is available in 17 x 7.5", 18 x 7.5", or 18 x 8.0", and British Black, Metal Silver, or British Gold colors. Rims

The new Rev/Speed Meter GP is a complete multi function measuring device designed to measure and monitor data such as vehicle speed, engine RPM, and elapsed times . However, the strength of the new unit lies in its differences. Probably the most obvious being its completely redesigned look.

What do you mean when you say 185-65HR13? 185 65 H R 13 This is the width in mm of the tyre from sidewall to sidewall when it's unstressed and you're looking at it head on (or top-down). This is known as the section width . This is the ratio of the height of the tyre sidewall, ( section height ), expressed as a percentage of the width. It is known as the aspect ratio. In this case, 65% of 185mm is 120.25mm - the section height. This is the speed rating of the tyre. This tells you that the tyre is a radial construction. Check out tyre construction if you want to know what that means. This is the diameter in inches of the rim of the wheel that the tyre has been designed to fit on. Don't ask me why tyre sizes mix imperial and metric measurements. They just do. Okay?

Ever wonder what does the coding on the sidewall of the tyres on your car means. Below is some information may be helpful. Key Description A Manufacturers or brand name, and commercial name or identity. B and J Tyre size, construction and speed rating designations. Tubeless designates a tyre which requires no inner tube. See tyre sizes and speed ratings below. C Denotes type of tyre construction. D M&S denotes a tyre designed for mud and snow. Reinforced marking only where applicable. E Load and pressure marking requirement (not applicable in the UK ). These go from a load index of 50 (190kg) up to an index of 169 (5800kg). F ECE (not EEC) type approval mark and number. G North American Dept of Transport compliance symbols and identification numbers. H Country of manuf...

P2 is a concept car developed by David Richard's racing and engineering firm Prodrive . Styled by Peter Steven, the car had design details similar to his MG SV. Mechanically, the car was based on Subaru Impreza's WRX STI engine and drivetrain , but the 2.0 turbocharged boxer engine is boosted to 345 horsepower, while the 4WD system added Prodrive's Active Torque Dynamics system (with active center and rear differentials like the rally Impreza). Besides, an "anti-lag system" is added to the turbocharger, which, like the afterburner of aircraft jet engines, burns the unburnt fuel in the exhaust manifolds to increase gas pressure to the exhaust turbine. The 1100 kg car claims 174 mph top speed and 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds . Surprisingly, Prodrive said the chassis was derived from the Japanese Subaru R1 Kei-car, hard to believe. Despite of its exciting spec, Prodrive cannot put it into production by its own. However, the Active Torque Dynamics system and Anti-Lag ...

Impreza WRX STi is MOTOR's Bang for your Bucks winner The Subaru Impreza WRX STi has won MOTOR magazine's gruelling 2005 Bang for your Bucks contest. Impreza WRX STi topped a heavyweight list of 25 performance cars including the Porsche Boxster S, BMW 330i, HSV GTO Coupe, Volkswagen Golf GTI, Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VIII and FPV Falcon GT. Among STi's achievements was the fastest lap time of all the cars at Wakefield Park raceway, NSW - 1 minute 10.12 seconds. MOTOR says: "Punt the thing hard and it rewards you like very few other cars. Learn to trust it and it'll match you dollar-for-dollar as it ratchets up the scale from hooligan to complete loony. "Simply, there is nothing in this comparison that gives quite the same bang for the same buck. Oh sure, some get awfully close (and are better road cars) but when the chips are down, the STi always goes that little bit further and, therefore, takes home the silverware." The car also won the $50-$80...

Ride Basically, suspensions are employed to deal with hump in road surface, in other words, enhancing ride comfort. When a car rides over a hump, the springs are compressed, store the energy thus provide shock absorption. The energy will be released quickly when the springs bounce back. Dampers are employed to smooth and slow down the bounce motion, this is called "Damping". Without dampers, the car will bounce up and down severely and quickly, this is perceived as uncomfortable. Study found that ride is perceived as comfortable by human when the bouncing frequency is 1 to 1.5 Hz. If it expeeds 2 Hz, most people feel the ride harsh. Therefore ride quality is mostly controlled by the selection of suitable springs and dampers. Handling In order to achieve ride comfort, we create suspensions and let the wheels movable with respect to the car body. Inevitably, this create many many problems in handling. When the car is turning quickly into a bend, centrifug...

Willows, CA, Dec. 4, 7:00 a.m. PST — As the dawn broke, the ART ESX JustRacing.com Subaru WRX STi CAR that I'm co-driving lies in a solid 3rd place overall. We're six laps behind the second place car, a BMW M3, and seven laps behind the leader, a very strong running Porsche 911. We have a possibility of catching the 2nd place BMW on speed, but the Porsche seems out of reach unless it breaks. With five more hours to go before the race conclusion at noon, anything is possible. Our car got through the night session relatively unscathed. My first session in the car came at dusk on Saturday when we were in fourth position; we managed to hold that despite running out of brakes towards the end of the two-hour segment. I brought the car in because the pedal was going to the floor while braking for corners and the inside front pads were so worn that the caliper pistons had left impressions in the pad backing plates. After a new set of Pagid endurance pads and fresh tires, the c...

Al Attiyah prunes Khalid's lead in first leg Al Ain: The 2004 regional champion Shaikh Khalid Al Qasimi and British co-driver Nicky Beech held a 53-second advantage in the ADNOC Distribution UAE International Rally after the seven timed special stages of the opening leg in Al-Ain on Thursday. The Pirelli-backed UAE driver had taken the battle to the defending FIA Middle East rally champion Nasser Saleh Al Attiyah and Ulster co-driver Chris Patterson from the start and beat his rival by 11 seconds in the 39.24 kms Al Mishab stage yesterday morning, with Shaikh Abdullah Al Qasimi and Shaikh Suhail Bin Khalifa Al Maktoum trailing behind. But Al Attiyah fought back on the subsequent two stages to take a slender six-second lead over the UAE's Shaikh Khalid into the Sweihan midday service point. When the Qatar rallyist was forced to stop in the fifth stage to remove sand from a clogged air filter, Shaikh Khalid inherited a lead of 1m 17s, leaving Al Attiyah in a franti...
