i took some video of my modded WRX tonight. i have a couple, i will upload the ones you guys want tomorrow morning hopefully.

i got 0-90mph with my friend in the back seat trying to film the speedo. its not the best, and he's also a big guy, so he slows my car down a noticable bit, but you get the point.

then i got 0-90mph from outside the car, you see me launch this time as opposed to a soft rolling start in the first. i use launch control, but unfortuneately where i launched was uneven, so the car is very slowly rolling forward, it sorta makes it look like a slow launch, but when the car really moves is when i launched

then i got a 40mph to 125mph pull. only problem with this vid is that the only time you see the speedo is to let you know that i am starting at 40mph(camera man was in the passenger seat, from there you can only see up to 80mph anyways) then the camera just faces forward. i call it out when i hit 110 and 120 and then let off and slow down after hitting 125mph.

Edit-here is the link

yea, i know, i lost my firewire cable, so i cant upload the vid's till tomorrow.

one more thing i like to add, i baby my car, atleast until i can afford to install a new gearset. i drove my friends stock 02 wrx a few days ago and thats when i realized just how much more strain my tranny is going through. my 1-2 shift is horribly slow(2nd is the gear that breaks followed by 1st) and i performed one of my softer launches

again

the vids will be up tomorrow morning. sorry for the tease

Sweet dude are you on Nasioc or Clubwrx.net or wrxlinks.com? I've got me an 02 that I'm working on right now as well. PM me with your mods.

i updated the first post with a link

Sweet video! Your car looks like a lot of fun. >>

Unburnt, explosive fuel hitting very hot metal is what causes the flames. My friend's turbo Impreza 2.5RS did the same thing before he bent all his rods.

cool vid! almost sounds like you have a supercharger and not a turbo...lol

what mods do you have done to it? why cant i hear your bov when u shift, only when u let off the gas?

coomer- thats my launch control. the UTEC(ECU piggyback) cuts ignition at 5500rpm, making for a hard rev limit. it is unburnt fuel, but while im doing it, my EGT's right off the cylinder head are only 550 deg C. the car was making 10psi of boost sitting at the line. what engine management did your friend have?

lagos- my utec also has floor shift thanks to the launch control. right when i press the clutch, the revlimter at 5500rpm is activated, only i am at around 7krpm when i shift, so all ignition is cut, preventing over revving. i keep the gas pedal down the whole time, BOV doesnt go off, no compressor surge, and no lost boost between shifts, when i shift slow enough i can actually hear the turbo start to spool down.

as for the SC sound, that was the best way i could describe it to people online. reminds me of when i test drove a lightning

I love it..

makes me want to sell my celi and get a sti >>

nice ass video!!! doesnt look like 120mph though. need street lamps or something!

the wrx is a fun car...hehe i had fun when my buddy let me drive his >> can't wait for my turbo

Thats very nice man, You said when you got it your Celica ST with a turbo was faster... How much slower was the wrx then from now? Or where you just incorrect and the ST turbo wasnt faster >>
