Project WRX

So a little update:

I ended up buying an XPT Stage 2 map that I flashed to my car via a Tactrix cable a month or so ago. The car runs great and feels quite a bit stronger. The XPT map is tuned for about 17.5 psi vs stock 13ish and also has launch control built into the map.

So... I had to take my new power to the track and see what kind of n00b times I could pull. The only tracks near me are 1/8th mile but I would like to get to a 1/4 sometime over the summer if I can.

I ended up with a best run of 9.4 at 76 mph. I think the car has high 8's in it really with just a really good launch and lightning fast shifting. While my times weren't amazing I still had a blast even though it's 9 seconds of driving straight down a track.

Video of the last run:


The Baja I was against was a guy that works at the repair shop my family owns. It's turbo too and is actually pretty quick. The guy that owns it was convinced he could beat me so we actually had to take it to the track to find out (even though I really already knew what was going to happen). 8)

A few pics:


My buddies new Evo X


And some wicked fast WRX that was running slicks all the way around and still spinning through 1st and 2nd gear
