Duncan you have some tough choices to make and I don't envy you that.
A friend of mine has applied to enter the time attack even though he will probably have the least powerful car there but he has applied simply because this is what he wants to do.......Live the dream :grin:

Evo 6rs would be an easier car to tune & work on enginewise for TA Duncan. If that's not a swear word to you :-# :lol:
My estimate would be

I try not to frequent ScabbyNet - mind you I do owe it a huge debt of gratitude as it was one of the reasons behind this place :lol:

I think I will stick with my subaru though, but thanks for the thought :thumb:

I recon you could build a competitive TA car for a lot less in either Scoob or Evo format. But it would be functional rather than an engineering masterpiece.

You car is lovely though, don't go striping it and cutting bits off just to save 0.2kg. Just my opinion :oops:
All the best with what ever you decide :grin:

Decision will be made on Monday after I have gone to chat with a man about a dog :D

As normal I will give the full information overload :lol:

Thanks everyone for the feedback, opinions and views even if some were dismissed or ignored.


Next year is going to be rather special 8)

Duncan, Mike's right in his comments, you've just got to look at his times at Donnington with the little power he was running and the crap suspension ;) at the time. When the Club entrants of this year start upping their power for next years event they've still got to keep it on the tarmac - not an easy task with 350bhp let alone 500.

Drop a set of pistons in your block, add a front mount and a larger turbo and make the most of the much broader, and increased torque spread.

BTW, if you'd have had the ARB's on at Knockhill you'd still be picking out the gravel now :D
Nordschleife PB of 8:38 (btg)
JDM STi MR400 running @ 1.1bar (296bhp/338ftlb), stock suspension and tyres
AP Strapdrive front disc/bells with DS2500 pads, stock rear discs with EBC Yellows & Motul RBF600
