FT-86 to be named FR-S...

[Nafe]

There will be an 86 racing in the Australian Production Car Championship from next year - run by the Pedders Bendigo team hat currently have a Proton Satria GTi in Class E.

It speculates that such an engine could generate up to 209kW of power and 340Nm of torque – almost identical in output to a six-cylinder Holden Commodore SV6 (210kW/350Nm). The current BRZ is a massive 445kg lighter than the Commodore.

Huh? Don't they kinda know what sort of power it would make as Subaru already has a turbo version of that family on engine
And, what's the comparison with the Commodore? How about they compare it to a XR6T or F6 - Makes about as much sense.

mate of mine drove a toyota round the ring just a couple days ago, said it was rather nice to drive, however his car here is a 240kw KE30 corolla so it wouldnt be too hard to be nicer to drive then that

[MarkMash]

Damn, want to go to the ring

Nafe, do you know if the ipra V8SC support races at eastern creek this year are on the internet anywhere?

[Nafe]

Not that I'm aware of. I don't believe any of the supports got any TV, would have been too expensive. The best would be some in-car stuff from the competitors.

In that link there saying MZ21's car has a hole in the side of the block, is this true ??

[AndyMac]

Saw these at the motorshow today, look real nice in the flesh up close.

Strange to see a toyota with subaru branded panels and a toyota boxer engine in a subaru, as both come badged as such. If anything, I'd thought that would of been the other way around ???

[Martin Donnon]

Subaru engines have enough trouble keeping piston ring lands, bearings, and cranks in them when turbocharged from the factory and left totally stock. Whats the odds of aftermarket boost on top of a high comp NA Subie engine lasting the distance.....not good I would think....but I dont think much - so boost away!
