4 cylinder manual world record
haha yeah, apparently power isnt the issue now, well too little power isn't. Gearbox is, can't take the power so no point in adding more, upping it to 6 speed would add 40kg which isnt ideal. Replacement parts for the 5 speed on the way so have to see how they cope

4 cylinder manual world record
no mate, only jgm shootout, His fastest run was 9.2 at 152mph but only ran for half a day cos the gearbox cried enough, given the surface differences looks promising to beat old record though.

Remapping the wrx
Very much an argued area lol Very few mappers i would trust with my car, Pat Herborn, Andy Forrest, paul blamare (sp) and engine tuner. Wouldn't trust anyone else.
-
is this a wise modification path?
tbh not huge amount of difference in but VF34 is the better turbo. Could always go for a SC36 billet, 360bhp and will outspool 35 and 34, but more money
-
Its all about that bass
TBH your best bet will be pick a tuner and get them to spec it up based on budget. 400bhp setup right will be a faster car than 450 mismatched. Some can custom build cars to to suit or sources cars for you. A reliable 450bhp is gonna need plenty of supporting mods so it's not gonna be cheap.

Brake Upgrade
stripped 3rd gear of all its teeth hahahaha had a ppg straight cut box in it, o what a sound :D
-
Brake Upgrade
righto,,,,, hahahaha Nah all joking aside really does depend on budget. Isle of man is no speed limit over the mountain, did end up liek this though lol
-
Brake Upgrade
TBH i'm not sure i'd bother. I did pads, disks and lines and they still gave up the ghost on the isle of mann in less than an hour. cheapest option i would entertain is D2 6 pot, but for the price difference i'd just say sod it and get the AP's godspeed has on offer. £1250 for a 330mm 6 pot full kit, also pretty sure ian said they go under 17's.
