imagine how well his brakes work in the wet.

I want to know how long a run up he needed to get up the highway off ramp. 
it’s like a space ship ion drive very little acceleration that needs time to add up to moving fast.

A space ship ion drive wasn't conceived by someone completely deranged, with no basis in science :P

It can't be any of the above.  Could have at least started with a 4 door STI. So it could at least be legitimately an STI, converted to an S201 replica.  Even then it wouldn't be a genuine S201 so still not 50k worth.

 

At least make a retna look like a 22B not an S201........the ugliest subaru ever made.

Theoretical question

 

Buy it, rip all the hideous off and convert it back to a 'std.' GC coupe. What would the buy price need to be to come out in the black on the resale?

 

There are still a few unmolested GC coupes kicking around, they go for stupid money in Aus at least if recent MCM episodes are anything to go by

 

Edit: 😎 why bother when you could just grab this https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/subaru/wrx-sti/listing/2809155310?bof=ln1WQ6WR

That coupe is a gc4 so yes it is a Retna car. Sadly it's been completely wrecked by who ever did that to it. Sad day for Retna fans and s201 fans alike. Why would you bother converting a coupe to that spec when it effectively makes it completely worthless. As ugly as the s201 is, I'd still respect someone who took a crashed one and swapped it to another 4 door as a replica or just to keep it from going off the road. The doors /body has had the lines removed too so cannot really be made into a type R without considerable body work. 

 

It's a pretty big derp from who ever owns it/built it.

Agree with that. At least do it to a 4 door then it would be very close to a S201. And also keep it 2 tone.

 

He should remove that body kit and do a 22B wide body to it with 22B bumpers and leave the S201 running gear in it to make it a 22B replica. It would almost be worth what he wants for it given that a real 22B is over 200k these days. And the S201 running gear is good stuff.

If you could simply convert any coupe to a fake 22b and get $50k... there would be a lot of people doing it... i for one would do it.

@Loren it is quite a fugly looking thing, dunno why so many people are gushing over it. All of Blocks ones have been super aggressive while still actually looking good.

 

I don't understand why they put all the timeattack style aero on for basically an autocross car.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
