Gerry, The whole trasmission, diffs, and centre diffs combo thing is a nightmare isn't it? Added to the fact that I may need to think about a more robust 'box next year if I want to up the power into the big boys league and my brain starts to bleed. The centre diff idea was based upon cost in so muc...

would personally never bolt a seat through the floor, particuarly in an impreza made out of tin.............. aside from anything else in an accident involving the floor it will potentially allow the seat to move and slacken/tighten race belts!!! not nice either way on a sideways note we are main d...

Thanks for the welcome guys. I am running in (rather than competing in) the HSA Championship this year. I fully expect to get mullered in the Modified class with my humble 310Bhp but I intend to use this year as a learning event and next year decide whether to bring the car up to a competitive spec ...

Or, any thoughts or feedback on the Yokohama Prada 2. Certainly looks cool. But the feedback from the Evo test wasn't brilliant :? Currently have some ony my Impreza. The big tread blocks on the outer edges seem to resist heat build up very well and are great for track days. Decently stiff side wal...

Thanks for the tips guys. I managed to get to speak to a scrutineer at Race Retro on friday who confirmed that if they were solid then at MSA level they were pretty happy and gave me a few ideas as to ways of solving the problem. Luckily he was a fellow Impreza wagoneer and so new the problem. Where...
