  1. Yeah there wasn’t any standing water so they performed great. Once puddles started forming I threw in the towel.
  2. Yes I believe it is for standard ambient temperature and barometric pressure.
  3. All the pictures I posted are of the rear. The rim protector portion of the tire is just a few mm away from the trailing arm. Being that the tires are stretched the alignment is toe out, the tire tread has enough clearance under cornering deflection.
  4. The tread width is actually 9.4” per tire rack. You are correct on the wheel being +/-0.5” of the tread width. Ideally the wheel is 0” to +0.5” the tread width for racing. The sidewall is stiffened from being slightly stretched which improves steering feel. The different wheel spacers was for inboard clearance issues. I had rim to rear strut tower metal on metal contact during compression. No car is exactly symmetrical and given the fitment, I only used as thick of a spacer as absolutely necessary. I left the spacers on the street wheels/tires and have driven on the highway multiple times. I don’t notice them at all. It’s such a small difference with the rear being 2mm different and front 3mm different from left to right. Plus both right side spacers are thicker respectively so the track width grew in the same direction front and back.
  5. My tuner believes his dyno is calibrated appropriately because multiple cars tuned on it have hit the calculated 1/4 mile times given the dyno horsepower numbers. I’ve seen a VF52 WRX run 11.9 in the quarter mile so I do think it’s accurate.
  6. I achieved these high numbers on a Spec.B (6MT) with a built short block, head studs, head gaskets, header, catless, clutch, light flywheel, full fuel system. The car is a turbo upgrade away from 500hp.
  7. E85 on a Dynojet. I do have the dyno sheet, pretty typical looking. Idk about the correction factor but I do believe it has one. I’ve seen people make as much as 330whp with a VF52 on a Mustang dyno. Giving a standard 15% difference, the numbers are believable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. This is what my car was capable of with a VF52 on E85 (bottom numbers) at 23 psi boost. Bare in mind it has every supporting mod available except for an external waste gate.
  9. All fenders are pulled, rears are rolled half way down the door. Running -3.3° front and -2.4° rear camber with 1/4” front and 1/8” rear toe out. Removed the anti lift kit to recenter the front wheels which fixed rubbing issues and previous tire on control arm contact issues. As of now there is no rubbing issues.
  10. 245/40/18 Hoosier A7 on 18x9.5 et+40 with 3mm rear left, 5mm rear right, 5mm front left, and 8mm front right spacers. Without the rear spacers I had wheel on metal contract with the rear strut tower. Front spacers are needed for lots of negative camber. The wheels poke a bit but this is the narrowest 18” A7 available and 9.5 is the optimal width wheel for it.
  11. You can just bolt on STI front knuckles and then the STi front bearing to a standard LGT front control arm or spec.b aluminum version. You’ll also need STi coilover ears unless you use a Wisefab knuckle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
