April 9, 200718 yr So, the guy I work with in the performance end of the dealership was tuning a customers car, a stock turbo WRX (stock engine as well, but with a TBE and lalala basic bolt ons)...but, had all the sound deadening taken out, so it weighs in at 2700~2800 lbs. We mostly tune on the street here, since the dealer is right next to the interstate... I took the RX out, and with the permission of the owner, we did 2 3rd gear pulls just for comparison's sake, starting at 3k rpm. Both pulls, I took the WRX by 1/2 car length from 3k to 5k, but from 5k on, the WRX takes me by about 2 car lengths pretty fast. I had the RX in hi range. So...Id say against a stock weight WRX, I'd have him, but Id have to shift to 4th. Water injection here I come!
April 9, 200718 yr I thought you were going EJ on the RX? you never seem to make up your mind do you?
April 9, 200718 yr Author EA82 until I run out of spare engines...theres one in the car now, and 8 more laying the the garage.
April 9, 200718 yr I got a WRX today on the way home with my XT6...he got me at the start but I caught up to him in no time..and passed him with just a small fight...guy was cool though...we gave each other a smile and the shocker.. I no if we had more room he probably would have had me..but niether of us wanted to embarrass a fellow subaru-ist. It is fun compairing our oldies to the new ones isnt it?

It is fun compairing our oldies to the new ones isnt it? sorry to burst your bubble, but my guess is he wasn't seriously racing you, or the turbo didn't spool in time always cool to try though, I always do anyway :-p
April 11, 200718 yr Gesundheit. seriously, though, WTF does Ttiwwop mean? I know what the shocker is, im just missing the meaning of the acronym..
April 11, 200718 yr seriously, though, WTF does Ttiwwop mean? I know what the shocker is, im just missing the meaning of the acronym.. Well... I didn´t Understand Any of that Acronyms... :-\ EA82 until I run out of spare engines...theres one in the car now, and 8 more laying the the garage.
April 11, 200718 yr seriously, though, WTF does Ttiwwop mean? I know what the shocker is, im just missing the meaning of the acronym.. This thread is worthless without pictures... I really hate some of the stupid acronyms people start to use.
April 11, 200718 yr This thread is worthless without pictures... I really hate some of the stupid acronyms people start to use. how about an acronym "sticky?" TTIWWOP was a rather obscure one, and I am normally pretty good at figuring them out. Some of them, like FTW, (for the win) you can get from context clues.. but alot of them are hard. IIRC If I recall correctly FWIW For What Its Worth HTH hope this helps IMO In My Opinion and the perennial favorite, IANAL I Am Not A Lawyer
