My 1994 Subaru WRX-SA Wagon (Race Car to be)

[Matthew129]

Did another hillclimb last weekend 26th of November at Bright Road.

At the end of the 4th run I was 3rd in class and 5th overall.

Video or runs 1 through 4:

I like this car. If this had a like button like facebook has like buttons which I like then I would like this so you would have more likes.

What is a bent sprint though?!

[Matthew129]

A bent sprint is similar to a hillclimb but instead of being on a windy peice of uphill road its on a fast straight road with some flowing corners.

Heres a video of a bent sprint I did last year:

Top speed attained on the bent sprint was circa 200kph, where as the hillclimb I did last weekend I saw about 140kph tops

Looks good to me, still a funny name though!

Minor update, car now have a WOF (Warrant of Fitness) or what you brits would call a MOT, ive driven it everywhere over the last week and a bit. The car has been trailered to events over the last few months but my 4x4 that I was using for towing died the other week so I decided to get the subaru a WOF while I sort out the 4x4, Im looking at fitting a 1UZ into it and will probably start a thread on here for that shortly

Over the last 3 months I have been having an absolute blast. Ive been to an event nearly every 2nd weekend and been ranking fairly highly in the competitive events. Including a 6th out of 30+ overall at a hillclimb, which included some awesome cars like Steve Millen's Ford GT and an EVO 8 Hillclimb special which is all fiberglass and has around 600HP, so Im pretty stoked with the result on that day.

BUT ive killed another engine... so engine is out on the ground. It started smoking pretty badly after an early downshift sent it to around 9500RPM and has just got worse and worse untill yesterday when i started it up and could hear a lovely knocking sound. So Im guessing ive broken another piston

Should have some pictures of the damage in the next week or two.
