[Rob Spec C]

See the ripples in the bonnet and reverse scoop at high speed?

Good lap but messy at times I thought, would think it could be beaten with the same car and a few more laps for the driver.

 

[Animal spec-c]

Did Tommy Mak do a lap @7:55 in a standard out of the box STI? Would be interesting to see him do a lap in that one for comparison.

 

[gonzogicker]

Tommi is definitely a smoother wheel smith. But his car wasn't standard either apparently.

Quote "Tommi Makinen’s Nordschleife lap record for a production Subaru. His Impreza was also modified, to be fair, but beating Tommi’s 7:55 lap is still a big challenge.

Technical highlights?

It takes four months for Revolution to build a car like this and it hopes to sell ten at £59,995 plus VAT, or for £20k less if you provide a car and standard engine. Based on a Japanese-spec STI (stronger blocks, Revolution says), the Project STI has 508bhp and 500lb ft when set to its maximum boost level of 1.9bar (Makinen’s car had 320bhp). It retains four-wheel drive, has a lighter body (carbon bonnet, aluminium boot, thinner glass), and uses Cosworth’s 2.2 stroker kit, billet crank and conrods."Quote
