Fastest WRX

One wrx that is considered to be Australias fastest subaru when it comes to circuit work, belongs to our great friend Jason. This humble little Subaru turned alot of heads in recent weeks, with its first run, after receiving a new engine and aero package, in the hands of it owner it put down a 1:39 at Easten Creek, to be 14 fastest overall, and first Austarlian Subaru home. over the next 12 months more develepment will be made, with aim to shave some more seconds in time for next years Superlap. With test day coming up at wakefield in a couple of weeks, the aim is a low 1:04 - high 1:03.

Keep an eye out for this boxer on the track, you wont be disapointed.

Street Weapon

In the past couple of years we have slowly been building up our evo 7. It has proven to be one very serious street car, and more recently it has held its own at world time attack, by being the fastest street registred evo home with a 1:42.7.

Pushing the car to 350kw at all 4s, is an in house built 2.3L engine. Inside is a Tomeii billet crank, and a custom piston and rod combination. the top end has received some special treatment, with ported and polished head, and some HKS 272 cams. Forcing some needed air into this piece of work is a Garret GT30/76R turbo, sitting on a JMF exhaust manifold.

On the intake side of things we have an AMS intake manifold. cooling is controled by a Hyperlow intercooler, and a PWR radiator. Everything is controlled by a Haltech PS1000 ECU, and all vitals are monitered via a Racepak Dash. Driveline has been improved by an RS box, and Ralliart Diffs front and rear. In the handaling department ther are a set of Swift Sway Bars, Cusco zero 3x coilovers, and some Cusco body braces. A set of Braid race wheels complete the look.

The perfect street/ race car
