ummm hummm yesss umm humm
i am sure you will LOL

how does everybody else at work like there cups of tea

funny how none of the sprinters and hill climbers on scoobynet know of this mystical 700 car either.

one for scully and mulder me thinks.

ps. if you are going to waffle on, please add a disclaimer to help people believe things which are not true. A simple "i was told" "i was lead to believe" can work wonders.

any updates on this???

Quote from tristancliffe :

I'll get some details when I'm at work next week. Just for your information there was a 700hp (apparently) Impreza at the Bentwaters sprint meeting. He was only a few seconds slower than our 160hp F3 car.

Need I say more?

700bhp would need a rotated turbo with custom up and down pipes, not to mention it would be pretty large and laggy, perfect for sprints??
driving an mates impreza last week with a td05 16g turbo, with front entry mods and a front mount intercooler, had a freshly mapped car (mapped by andy f) on an apexi ecu, which struggled to make any decent boost until past 3500 rpm

another mates car has a rotated garret which is even worse TBH
was this car running antilag?

would love some details on this TBH

does this 700bhp pikes peak impreza even exist?

really interested in the specs, with me being an avid subaru fan, i am sure the 10`s of thousands of people on scoobynet would be as well, it would sure put to shame a few of the top end 500/600bhp cars to shame.

cant wait for the specs

personaly i would have chosen the Gems ECU but im sure you had your reasons for going motec?

Any specs of this 700bhp 1997 impreza that was run in pikes peak?

tried google and scoobynet to no avail........

A Type RA/Type R with the diff wound back gives large oversteer tendancies when pushed hard

i fail to see how this is not as much fun as an MX5 tbh

its the best of both worlds, send the power to the rear to play, send it back towards 50/50 split for safety in bad conditions.

i hope this adequately explains why i used a code to describe the name illepall

Quote from tristancliffe :

As I have no idea what a V3 Type R and RA is I'll just have to accept it at face value. Is it an STi Subaru Impreza? Why not just call it that? It seems to be fashionable to refer to everything via the manufacturers codes to make everything sound impressive...

i cut the names down, as the real names are rather long, here is the real name if you prefer :rolleyes:

Subaru Impreza Version 3 WRX STI Type R
Subaru Impreza Version 3 WRX STI Type RA

the version 3 was realeased in japan around the back end of 1996 (i have a Version 3 WRX )

And all Type R`s/Ra`s since have had the adjustable DCCD Diff fitted to them.

700bhp from an impreza lump is hard work, which turbo was this running?

*edit*
actually after doing a little bit of research it seams the "Subaru Impreza Version 2 WRX STI Type RA V-ltd" had the diff as well in 95-96 years :rolleyes:

dont see what the problem is??

i use a DFP on 900 with 200% FF and its fine, i think a few people need to do a few press ups and build up there arms

Quote from tristancliffe :

Even the early STi's had no such configurable diffs. It's only in the last few years they've had them.

Of course the Skyline's had them for ages, but no one can take them seriously!

v3 type r`s and RA`s had a dccd unit built in to adjust the diff

thats 10 year old cars

intresting thread

i love the FXR and race this the most, i know i am not the fastest, but i do like racing against the FZR`s at Blackwood GP

if you can hook a ride on the back of a FZR on the long straight you can use the 4wd to a decent advantage in places.

i know the FZR is a faster car, but you also need a better driver to control it, why make the FXR faster? its the easy way into the GTR class.

driving the FXR for me is fun, no brainer, the others take a bit more dedication and thought.

i have been thinking, what about somehow having one screen to view the road, and another screen to display all the data, peoples lap times, tyre wear, chat text etc etc

the best way i had mine setup with 2 screens was with no draw, and one monitor i adjusted the settings to make it closer to the other, that means the vanishing point is behind the black bar, which lets you hit the apex`s properly, there are times that i have hit things that were "hidden" by the black bar though!!

must admit, this is the perfect excuse for me
i can only do a 1.08.01 (i think) at blackwood gp in the fxr and i have seen people go much faster, they must be all cheating

perfect excuse LOL

the reason like LFS is the fact that everybody is on an even level when starting out, the lack of engine mods etc etc was a big plus point, as if somebody is faster, you know they are a better driver.

bit worrying that some people maybe being a little crafty?

thanks

at first i found it a little wierd

but i have moved my monitor settings to move the screens closer together, this way it feels like you know where the apex is, rather then getting confused with the black band in the middle

rigged up

it has took me 4 hours, but i conquered it

removed the omega drivers and used the proper ati stuff and now it all works properly, i am driving around blackwood by myself and its showing a healthy 85fps

i can run LFS in a window and then stretch it across both desktops, but that cant be the right way to do things.

fps drops from around 81 to 1.6 LOL

tried hydravision begiuner and full versions, the graphics card drivers i used were "omega" (i think!) could this be a problem?

renamed the cfg file and restarted


game started up in demo mode, although my user name/player details were still there to select, no 2048 x 768 option to select screen res
these 2 sharp TFT`s can only go to 1024 x 768 each, would this be a problem?

with ultramon i can stretch this webpage over both screens, and i managed to select "tile" on the background picture to make it spread across the 2 screens, but when i run LFS it just starts up on screen 1

any ideas?

well my desktop background is repeated on the second screen, the blue start bar does not extend onto the second screen, does that help?

i have just been looking at somebodys picture where his desktop background is stretched over the 2 screens, which mine does not ?

i searched so much on this board before buying the second monitor, install hydavision, select non square modes and change the drivers view point, i thought this was going to be a piece of cake!

yes i can pick from a massive amount of screen res options and i can scroll down to the big numbers, but there is no 2048 x 768 or anything that looks like it to me?

i can drag stuff across if that is what you mean?

arghhh i have just bought a second monitor just for LFS

can i remove the Bf1 patch somehow?

if i try to save the cfg file with
Screen Info 1 60 2048 768
it still does not work
