MattR · 2004-12-28, 08:14 AM

Okay, in reading that article again, that car is just friggin hot...

It's 18" BBS's are lighter than the 17's that come on the stock STI,,,sweet.

murphy · 2004-12-28, 08:21 AM

sti deede · 2004-12-28, 09:05 AM

It's beautiful.

sonicsuby · 2004-12-28, 09:14 AM

The seats in that car are a work of art. They should be in the louvre.

They're just Recaro recliners, there's nothing that special about them.

- We have added special reclining Recaro front sport seats with gray Alcantara center surfaces to help keep driver and passenger firmly held in place during spirited driving. These seats are constructed with carbon fiber shells and therefore are lighter and stronger than the seats offered in the base STi.

I wish my stock car came with carbon fiber seats

AtomicLabMonkey · 2004-12-28, 09:33 AM

Don't get me wrong - they're nice. Just not quite in the same company as Leonardo da Vinci.

MikeSTI · 2004-12-28, 09:37 AM

how many reclining carbon fiber seats are on the market? 1

MikeK · 2004-12-28, 09:44 AM

Is this the 2.0L engine with the forged goodies? I wonder if we will ever see this or the Spec C STi in the US.

Actually it's yes and a distinct possibility. SOA's watching EVO MRs fly out of dealerships. Expect a US version of the Spec C with an EJ257 within a year.

MikeK · 2004-12-28, 04:12 PM

Bah, I want the 2L with the forged pistons

Too bad.

You can't get 300 hp out of 2 liters in this country because of emissions requirements.

Maybe not out of the factory, but with aftermarket parts, I think the ej207 spec c engine has more potential than the ej257 does.

Kevin M · 2004-12-28, 04:20 PM

Personally, I think the bigger engine is the better idea, because the design of the EJ series causes issues at very high RPM. No high revs, no advantage to the smaller engine. I'll take an 8k EJ25 over a 10k EJ20 anyday, especially considering the lack of proper gearing choices for such a high-rev engine.

AtomicLabMonkey · 2004-12-28, 04:32 PM

There's no replacement for displacement.

Sure there is, it's forced induction and high RPMs when you're talking about race applications (see Formula 1). Unfortunately, Boxer motors aren't conducive to those conditions.

Apples to oranges if you're talking N/A vs. forced. All things being equal, the bigger engine is going to make more power.

Question??
Is this true without having to use race fuel/methanol?

Actually, more displacement helps you out by letting you run ower octane in most cases. If you take a given motor setup- NA, a given supercharger, a given turbo, the larger motor is going to make more torque at a lower RPM. It's particularly true of big NA motors like V8s, but not so much with turbocharged motors. Your limits of torque are determined solely by the size of the turbo and your fuel. Motor size only changes how fast it has to spin to flow the amount of air needed to make the torque the turbo supports.
