Hi all
I met jamesy at Llandow 2 weeks ago who told me about this forum, so here I am
I have a subaru impreza T2000 (classic) and from time to time I do marshaling
Here's a few pics and I'm sure I'll see you guys round (hopefully not crashing into each other )
Waiting for track session

Thanks for the welcome guys
the spec currently is:
UK Turbo 2000 front and rear strut braces (Tops) H-Brace (Front/Bottom) Full decat system with a Ninja 2 back box - prodrive centre section
There are other upgrades though, the difference would only be noticed compared to a standard scoob - They were mainly factory fitted extras - or built to order rather
When I first got her I rolled her on the rollers and then again about a month ago and the readings were different, yet no changes to the car. One was a dynamic rolling road and the other was (can't remember the name of it now) but its the opposite of the dynamic rollers
First print out in 3rd was 230.1 BHP and 231 lb/ft second print out in 4th was 218.9 BHP and 217.8 lb/ft
go figure...

Welcome to the club, car looks spot on. As others said keep to the same rollers as they can also be set up differently to give slightly different readings!!
Oh yeah and you must be reeaaallllyyyy old!!!

yh definately, no1 can understand it me included, but I'm pretty certain now that I must've driven over some oil or fluid which might have dripped from the crash before my session. The recovery truck takes that route back to the paddock... I guess we'll never really know lol

seen a couple of cars come off like that over the years, fastest part of the track aswell. im hitting 115 on that corner in the 205 changing into fifth. not sure how you managed that but looks like a touch of oversteer then just all happened to fast to do anything about

Yh it is pretty quick through there, the camera was shaking so much. I wonder if I might have caught a slight speed wobble on the bend, because its not exactly flat and smooth on that part of the track
Thanks Dolan

nah its a pretty rough part of the track, even worse when overtaking through that bend and can't run too wide
