Beat a wrx tonight

Post by dzx »

Was on my way home after dinner at my aunts house. Finally got a wrx beside me at a light in the outskirts of boulder. The first time i didn't realize it was a wrx, i just took off at the light and saw that he was keeping up along side of me. The next light I looked over and saw it was a wrx and the guy was smiling at me so i waved and then revved the engine. The light turned green and i screwed up the launch burning the crap out of my clutch. But then it grabbed hold and by the end of second gear he was a little ways off the trunk of my car. The race was pretty even maybe my car was a tid bit faster, i know it would have been with the stock rims. Then we both quit which is a good thing cause i would have had to switch to fifth and he would have ate me from there. He got up alongside of me and I gave him a thumbs up and at the next light I stopped alongside of him and told him good job, he was like what'd you do to that car? I gave him the short version just saying 16G. He was cool, i love those cars. Then i turned off and he headed on his way.

Intercooler piping came in today, Can't wait to put in the front mount and turn up the boost. :twisted: (running 10psi now)

(edit) talked to my uncle on the phone a few mins ago, he was behind me on the highway a little ways, he said the wrx was racing a camaro and must have been doing about 110 mph when it blew by him, He mentioned that it was beating the camaro pretty well. It's nights like this that make all that money and time worth it.

score!

switched to 5th? so, how far in to the triple digits is that? I can't run 4th to the top of the gear.

I dont have a third or fourth gear, linkage in transmission is messed up. So i would have gone from 60mph into fifth and normally my fifth gear isnt quick until around 80mph.

The wrx is a 2004 stage 1, he posted on clubwrx under the mountain states.

Yes, I'm running 10psi unintercooled right now, i'm also a lot higher up in altitude and the weather is cool lately. I haven't had any knock or other problems.

Hey, this is the WRX. I was only going about 105, and the Camaro was a dick. :)
Of course, it probably didn't help his bad mood to lose to a kid in "jap" car.
Your car sounds awesome!
