2 / 3 = 0.666
Damnit, im gonna have to go buy and STi and try to remake that car now lol
lol. i love that machine.
2 / 3 = 0.666
will come on it said it wasnt made by subie so it is part cosworth,and ruf.

the FQ400 was not built from factory by Mitsubishi.Originally Posted by stikiller
its a USDM 2.5 bottom end
everything else is whatever the s204 STi comes with, except for suspension (litchfield tuned) turbo which i beleive to be a 20g like the evo XI in japan, i beleive Cosworth just cammed it, and RUF was involved for brakes.
Porsche and Subaru have always been involved. just wish i could say the same for mitsubishi lol...
my point for this video is, this car can be easily built by your avg joe for about 10,000 on top of what the car costs.. and even @ 415bhp.. you can easily make more than that for the same price.
mitsubishi... dodge... eagle.. chrysler... lol.. you get the point.
2 / 3 = 0.666
........just like I had a 3sum with Charlize Theron and Scarlett Johansson.
Yeah, right! How so?
The only thing they have in common is a flat (boxer) engine design. That's it. So I guess Mitsubishi and BMW are also involved cause they both have inline 4s
Porsche themselves do not waste their time with Subaru nonsense.......
Yeah, VW gave the old Bug flat 4 engine design blueprints to Subaru back in the 70's, but as far as anything German on a Subaru........uh........NO.
Alois Ruf has enough serious business with 911s and their owners, and for them to fall back 20 steps and start modifying Subarus must mean that Subaru is desperate for some know-how, seeing that they needed a 2.5 to compete with Mitsubishi's 2.0 liter.
The Porsche "big reds" have been excellent brake upgrades for a lot of German cars over the years; it was first done on various VWs and Audis and Mercedes.
Now, simple brackets made it possible to install them on Subarus. That's good, but if reminds me of the Isuzu Impulse with it's "handling by Lotus" advertising schemes back in the late 80's.........
It's all advertising BS.
And NO, the STi tranny (although a strong one) is NOT made by Porsche.
If you want a Porsche/Subaru hybrid, why not sell the Sti motor for $5000 (someone told me they go for that much, I don't know) and add another $3000, buy and install a older 911 3.3 Turbo engine, which after getting Raceware headstuds would handle over 800whp with other bolt-ons.
Then you'd have a fast, realiable car that actually SOUNDS GOOD too.
LOL, you might want to do some research before you open your mouth...........just like I had a 3sum with Charlize Theron and Scarlett Johansson.

david got owned!1
david, trust me.. yeah the 2.5 liter is great... but i'd rather have a jdm 2.0.. why do EJ20s still out torque 4g63's?
2 / 3 = 0.666
Uh...... I quote:
"One of the most interesting facts behind the creation of the new Liberty Blitzen is the design philosy. Subaru went to industrial design specialists Porsche Design for help in designing much of the bodywork for the Blitzen."
I read that as spoilers, which is obviously the "Porsche-like" brake ducting "job".
Evidently a ricer will concentrate on this as being one of the things that "makes" a car, right?
Maybe I stand corrected. But to me.......a big rear wing does NOT turn a Lancer into a EVO or a WRX into a STi.
It now appears Subaru can't even design their own spoilers. WOW
Trow dat in yo' crack pipe and blow dat smoke tru yo' grillz.
Thats why there is the Blitzen Legacy as well as the WRX Type Euro (Porsche modified bugeye WRX wagon).
SOA put a 2.5 in the car since Americans are fat and want torquier motors. Other things also changed for the US market were seats and spring rates (much softer).
Umm, Lotus really did help design that car. It shares a lot with the Lotus Elan.The Porsche "big reds" have been excellent brake upgrades for a lot of German cars over the years; it was first done on various VWs and Audis and Mercedes.

You can also get a classic Porsche and retrofit an STI motor into it, search for Porscharu and you'll find a couple.

1. Spoilers that resemble a superior car do nothing more than attract ricers and euro-wannabes that have more brains than $.
2. Bad mistake (same mistake also made by many German car manufacturers for US Spec cars in the last 10 or so years).
3. A different set of shocks, a camber adjustment, and some stickers do not qualify as "shares a lot with the Elan", and what miniscule level of "help design" do you consider that to be?
4. Reducing the value of a car can be done in many ways
The FQ400 isn't made by Mitsubishi, it's made by Ralliart and some other third party companies.
Too bad we don't get the JDM/EDM spec motors in the USDM STis.
we in the USA already get the better engine in the STi...the 2.5 liter
house of turbo subarus...its all we'll drive
it is nice though

fucking sweet.

If they had to change the turbo to get 320 wheel (which is about what 415BHP breaks down into) thats a tad sad. I know that can be had on the stocker at around 19.5 psi or so. I feel that teh FQ400 is rated very low. I think that car is putting down at least 350whp.
yeah.. the Type 25 puts down just about what its rated at... hahah its pretty cool
2 / 3 = 0.666
yeah... in my opinion, this beats out the FQ400. I'd like to see this one chase down that lambo as well. You know how we jdm boys and girls love picking on exotics.
More skills than you can handle... mountain wa subarashii desu ne... honto.

Thats awesome and easy to replicate or just as easy to make it better
20g or green turbo
Exhaust
ECU
KW Coiloverss
Whiteline swaybars
ALK
Those brakes are available for 2500.00 us or you can get a set of stoptechs for half that.
Thats pretty much all you need.
you're still a fag, but correct.
2 / 3 = 0.666
Youre still a cock, but I am still correct
all shit aside, i'd like to drop the beef. regardless it'll still be cool to get a ruled boxing match with ya if its cool.. just so i can stop vibrating.
you're now my friend. no choice.
2 / 3 = 0.666
Awesome we are best buddies now.
Boxing is good for me, pretty much when ever.
cool. gloves on. we'll do it sometime after new year's
2 / 3 = 0.666
nice
The stock STI brakes are pretty fucking great as it is with a good set of pads.
Enter turn 10 at Road Atlanta at about 160mph and tell me the stock brakes are great.
Matt
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn i want
that's some nice stuff there, i don't care who you are! lol. loving the brake set up and the subtle under hood mods. lol made to look stock FTW
subaru=FTW
The Carbon Fibered R6
I'm pretty sure there are STIs trapping nearly 130 on stock internals, I know of a few Evos that have done it. It's a timebomb but it will hold together for a while.
A) Nothing to try and comprehend. I don't pay GA Tech to teach me to be a dumbass, I know how to read.
B) Yes other people's Porsche's, on "roads" such as Sebring, Roebling Road, and Road Atlanta...
C) I've personally worked on 3 Florida Suncoast Region track cars. ('71 911T, two 993 Carreras)
D) With the questions. Depends on the questions. But, probably. Would you? I'm sure there are things you know that I don't and vice versa. Just because I've worked on cars, tracked, and constantly read about them doesn't mean I know everything about them. So questions are kind of irrelevant.
As for drama queen, you brought it all up when you said, and I quote "Porsche themselves do not waste their time with Subaru nonsense......." Which brought about a prompt response from me with facts.
I don't know you but I would gladly sit down and chat with you about the marque. I'm sure we would both learn things.
When did I say I prefer Subarus to Porsches??? Why the hell would I say that?

I may have misunderstood your love for Subarus as a preference.
The questions were an example, nothing specific to actual knowledge, but more to prove a point. What exactly did you do on the 2 993s and the '71 911T?
Anyway, I see that now you're showing some maturity and experience, and I don't have to explain what my username means.
Sure, I love Porsches; working on them, talking about them, learning, modifying, etc.
Been working on my own and others' cars for about 13 years (started with VW/Audi/BMW, then moved on to Porsches shortly after).
BTW, I missed out on the last track day at Roebling this year. As you probably already know, it was repaved recently but my slightly built street/track 951S wasn't ready in time.
