horsepower is for boasting. torque is for winning races.

If you want to tow buy the 3.0. For any other application the turbo MANUAL is the better car hands down.

be interesting how the turbos cope with that on a daily basis. Would make sense to have twins as a pose to the two different sized turbos too?

Has potential too. Riveting is wrong but nothing that cant be fixed by bog and sanding. Paint is already shit so no great loss. Needs track widened at rear. By the time they do all this they prob could have bought a RB25 DET version?

You muppet! Drives in a mans car are to be earned not given away lightly!

VF23 is old as shit dude lol Whats wrong with the 2.0 AVCS and VF30 somethings?

Would tend to agree. Make a great daily / tourer. Just saying my parents GTB was far nicer to drive to Mt Hutt than our old forester turbo.

Lol I can't remember the size it was ages ago lol. They were pretty chunky though

lets do it. fozzy vs GTB the theme for MM!!!

Hmmm think they were the Bridgestone potenza RE070 that came stock on 2002 STis. Maybe 225/45/R17?

Will the stock tyres from a BH GTB ie 215/45/17 fit on the 02 Sti wheels? Think I had 255/45/17 on my wrx with them but that wasn't ideal

I'm happy with my radar detector. Picks up cops Ka band a few kms away on straight roads happy to take my chances on that when sitting around 115 or whatever

true story but you cant say decisively that a GTB is quicker than a Forester turbo. In this case it was but not a knockout victory

well within tolerance for driver skill id say. only difference there is who got best launch imo. meh good on you for winning.

Do you mean he was half a car length behind?

ouch that aint too good mate

no reply from OP means he got whipped imo

I got a steady a10l/100kms in my 96 wrx mixed driving. Mrs 2000 auto stb forester was worse!

google supplied:

lol soft cocks. You are coming from a completely different angle Nick. Hospo is not sales. Your honest reputation does not determine whether people will go there for a drink. Kick up enough noise and it will hit a sales outfit hard where it hurts - in the pocket. Hence the ranting and raving in public is best approach here.

LOL you will soon learn grasshopper. The biggests tw@ts usually get treated the best in my experience. Rich pricks are rich for a reason - cos they bitch and moan about the smallest thing and get $$ back.

Look Id go in and rant and rave. This kinda stuff is mandatory on cars. You can bet your bottom dollar they didnt pay as much for trade in on the basis it hadnt been done. not disclosing this is a pretty shitty move imo. Legally they are probably OK but morally definately in the wrong. Say you will ring fair go if they wont pay for it all to be done!

Those rota wheels copy CE28N look pretty good!

looks freshly imported to me

CE28N wheels. Appear genuine Thats like $3000 right there without tyres. So realistically not that overpriced?
