Bugeye JDM Sti

[jamesbeaumont]

Hi guys. Picked up this JDM Sti last weekend. Lovely well cared for example with some great handling and engine mods. Certainly the fastest car I have owned. Hoping to meet some of you fellow enthusiasts at meets over the summer!

Looks good. Enjoy it!

That looks serious. What's the spec and what have you owned before?

I'm running 245bhp in mine and if I put my foot down in second gear you feel a bit of torque steer from the front. What can yours be like?

No torque steer. You shouldn't be getting that in a 4wd? Especially as Imprezas have a higher % to the rear. Think the jdm bugs are 65% rear...

330 in mine with no torque steer. You need to get your geo sorted out and have the thing looked at. Maybe a trip to power station or someone like that will help? A stock WRX should have nothing like torque steer.
