Evo vs STI (picture thread) (1 Viewer)

[Azamakumar]

This was from a track day in Malaysia. Costs a lot less over there than it does here and my cousin's car club had booked out the Sepang circuit and also got GPS laptimers (you'll notice the little things clipped on to the front of some of the cars grilles/mesh).

I'm planning to head down to EC (or Marulan if it's still open) after my busy season at work finishes Expecting to spend between $200 and $300 all up including petrol. No need for special equipment (i.e. rollcage/harness/etc) in the car if you are only going for fun and not participating in a CAMS race or anything.

I've done some stuff with MRT Performance before and have their 'track day guide' if you're interested- happy to forward it to you (PM me your email) as it explains what you need to bring (helmet) and what you should wear, how to prep your car (i.e. get it serviced, check oils, tyre pressures knocked up a bit, 98 octane, etc).

would love it, cheers



given the conditions of most roads in syd I finally decided to start saving for the track (was going to take my bike out though, not a car). what do they check when you take a car out? brakes/tires/input controls?

I have to admit though, comparatively it does seem like a lot of effort and money to get the same return you'd get driving out of sydney for a day on a tank of fuel and a stop at maccas.

yeah but the good thing about a track is there aren't gum trees next to the road

you'd be surprised. The ones in NSW are fine, but theres a couple in vic (broadford is one, forgot the other) where about 3/4 of the turns have no traps/runoffs, just metal barriers.

Imo the biggest draw is the road surface. Half of RNP is like awesome and resealed, the rest is riddled with grooves and potholes which are a nightmare to navigate when you're leaned over.

Oh dear god no

This looks like a photoshop but this car actually exists *shudder*

dayum! that was side splittingly hilarious and quite shocking at the same time

some of the guys in my club (EDGE RACING TEAM - Front Home Page and AUSCA---Australian Universities Student Car Association) also go the night before and share a motel room so that they have plenty of energy on the day for track lol. anyway i forwarded u the guide fyi.

are those real or photochops? the 2nd one looks like a 3 door STI which looks fantastic but i think it might be fake. and that evo 8 looks good though.

i saw a varis kitted evo x in singapore. will upload photos tmr!

One day I will visit the Nordschleife, preferably in an air-cooled Porsche.

Yeah, it's only a 4 cylinder. This is their latest release, suposed to compete with the Audi TT - and its a 4 cylinder too. Come to think of it... I've never heard of a Peugeot with anything BUT 4 cylinders!

It does 0-100 in 7.6 which is better than I expected, considering it is also only a 1.6L.......

That's just shocking....Talk about a blatant ripoff. Doesn't look as good as the Audi either.

 

[x.Exhaust.x]

Wow. I've never seen a hatchback with that type of spoiler. Only see them on sedans and coupes. Photoshop or is this for real? lol.

sv6 with raptor supercharger

 

[hungwell1337]

yeah it looks fake

 

[Havox]

The lights make it look like a Proton.

Here's some more digital imaging -

... I'm glad these guys didn't get hired as car designers... I mean the imaging skills are high but I dont like it as a car

Have you guys seen the 2011 Widebody Impreza STI hatch?
