its a personally imported 1996 LEgacy GT-B

twin turbo, put out 157kw at the wheels with a 2.5 in exhaust otherwise basically stock

9psi on primary turbo, and upto 15 when the secondary adds in above 4k

great fun to drive, but has some niggling problems now and then

needs a new set of brakes and rubber before its ready for any serious track work but i'm very keen to see what it can do

Subie Forrester and I loved the AWD, lacked power but great drive trains on those cars!

:lmao: :lmao:
It's a record it still holds to this day, long after it's clutch died and it went to car heaven.

Who ever said "full weight" had to include headlights and the front bumper? :lol:

Don't be too sure... Toyota entered a Camry in 2 litre super touring racing for a couple of years and did quite well.

Wonder where that car is now...

there was a Camry Sports Sedan running around a couple of years ago. Damn quick car.




(mind you it was RWD and ran a small block Chev!!!...I don't think much of the running gear had a Toyota brand on it)
