OldvNew (MY68VW thread so spaz stops hijacking others)

Mmmmm subies, i testdrove and almost pulled the trigger on the STI spec R wrx when i was living in Melbourne. That thing went like a rocket and handled like a boss

This would be an interesting car for a drive up to Charlottes in summer

I am not a fan of the arse end of the newer wrx’s, hatchback all the way!

#ERECTION

I just found a calculator that tells red line of each gear based on ratios, tire & wheel size and rpm.

With the rev limiter on MY68VW set at 5500 it will hit 177kmh on 185 tires.
I’m about to put 205s on it.

It was dyno tuned to 7000rpm.
Biggest rim without further mods is 15” with 215s = top speed 250kmh there’s only 4 gears!
Based on air resistance of .40 it has enough power.
My dream rim is 17”, I don’t think it could push past 250kmh without the twins attached.
I actually wouldn’t want to go past 200kmh in it but it was very tidy at 177.

Currently rev limit is 5300rpm, with 205*65*14;
1st 42kmh
2nd 77kmh
3rd 126kmh
4th 179kmh

I don’t like the hatch, useless for putting surfboards inside.

I don’t like WRX’s simply because you don’t get to drive it as much as your thief does.

I used to have one of these!!!!!    Board fit in fine!!!!!

Talking about putting it through the rear splitfold seat without having to put all of the rear seat down.  That red thing woulda needed the front seat down unless it your talking boogeyboards!
