Car : Impreza WRX STi type R
BHP : 291
Mods : HKS panel filter, H&S front pipe, Blitz Exhaust
0-60 : 4.5 ish

Car : Rover Coupe Turbo
BHP : 285 (ish)
Mods : Countless, lots of power stuff, brakes, box, suspension all done, and stripped bare.
0-60 : low 5's, with wheelspin all the way, the fun starts after 60 when it grips.

0-60 isn't that good an indicater, the scooby is 0.5-1.0 seconds quicker to 60 than the Rover, but in a straight line the Rover would murder the scooby from a rolling start, and from a 0mph start it would overtake it after 400metres, and overtake it is an understatement , neither car is slow, but if you just looked at the above stats the scooby has more power, and a lower 0-60, yet it's the slower car.

anyway, as always I've over-answered the question lol, sorry.

Pic



The fun thing is, it looks standard, in fact now it has different wheels from in that pic, has 2.0 non turbo alloys now, not the turbo ones as they dont clear the big brakes without spacers, so as long as you dont notice the FMIC or cut slicks on the front wheels, it looks like a 145 bhp 2.0 16v one

oh, and the interior is a bit more sparse than it seems in that pic lol.





Spec isn't standard though

ENGINE

Rover T16 2.0 16v Turbo engine
Rebored with 0.5mm increase in bore
Oversized 85mm 8.1:1 CR JE Forged Pistons
Polished and balanced crank
Piper 270 Cams
Mildy ported head
Skimmed head
Decked block
Klinger HG
Pulsar Gti-R T28 Turbo
Forge Uprated adjustable actuator (set 1 bar)
GBE Mechanical Boost controller (1.35 bar)
FSE Fuel Pressure regulator
Greddy Iridium Plugs
Modified Pulsar GTi-R intercooler as FMIC
Custom 2.5" front pipe
Mongoose 2.5" de-cat
Mongoose 2.5" cat back system with 3.5" tailpipe
One Performance Catch tank
One Performance Ring earth kit
Roverdose Cold Air box
2 x SPAL slimline cooling fans
Warlboro 255LPH High Pressure Fuel pump

TRANSMISSION
Rebuilt Gearbox with steel cage bearings and new TorSen diff
Helix 4 Paddle Clutch with Heavy Duty Helix Clutch Cover

BRAKES
MG ZS 180/620 Ti 282mm front brake conversion

SUSPENSION
Koni adjustable dampers
H&R Springs
Front "anti torque steer" bushes

INTERIOR/ENTERTAINMENT/STYLING
Sweet F**k all, pretty much no interior bar 2 seats and a steerign wheel

PERFORMANCE
13.20 @ 110.3mph (2.26 60ft) - No nitrous (old spec, lower boost, not stripped)
12.88 @ 113.9mph (2.21 60ft) - with nitrous (old spec,lower boost, not stripped)
0-153 mph in 1.2 miles (on 13.5 @ 108 spec level)

Currently approx 270-275 bhp/tonne and 270-275 lb.ft/tonne, and pretty nippy

So as I say, 0-60 would sell this car short of what it can actually do. Outran A Ferrari 355 last time it was on track much to the "mr cool" driver's dismay.

Wink Get your calender out

Hi All

My 0 to 60 time is down badly at the moment as the T5R is off the road for a major over haul with RT so i am using the 1.6 caviler "21.0 seconds" other wise 6.9sec with 240bhp listed spec

Mine does 5.6sec 0-60, running 314 ft/lb of torque.

RR measures 314BHP, but obviously this is buggered by the auto-box torque convertor so estimate 280-285BHP really.
