v6 is back for 3 days and already starting arguements

you guys all know v6 has never had any suspension parts on his subarus right, and he's talking out of his arse.

maybe you coulda got that 12.99999 with this little bracket.

V6TurboTA · 06-05-2009, 03:56 PM

So you did run one day at the track without them and thats what you are basing your agruement on? Ok. I usually perfer enough data to extrapolate results from, but whatever floats your bout.

Because god knows the track doesnt change from day to day so that could never account for anything...

Horse you are at the water... chosing not to drink

NoNoNo Ron I changed the sways in my WRX. so obviously I know how every AWD car on the face of the planet will react. Dont you know better by know?

And FWIW this part gains 2 tenths!!! It would have been 12.89!!!

No, it is 0.2 seconds from the 60ft...you need to rework your dynamics problem

You mean floats my boat?

Youre right, the track does change, but when my times are consistant, that says lots.

See, the problem with you making this statement is that I went through lots more than just swaybars. Moreover, our cars dont have the travel required for this to be an issue.

Phatron · 06-05-2009, 04:08 PM

v6 coulda gone 12.69 from a 13.09 with this bracket. its true, i read it on nasioc somewhere.

V6TurboTA · 06-05-2009, 04:09 PM

You need to understand a few things here.

1, I dont care.
2, I dont care.
3, I dont care.
4, If you feel you did a good trial and error by running with no sway bars one day, then running with them on a completely different day... I rest my case.

I have been drag racing long enough to know better. Unless you do back to back runs in the same weather / track conditions / power levels with and without the sway bar I dont really find your results to be all that valid.

If you come back and tell me thats what you did, I will retract my nonsense.

Darn skippy....I love having fun telling people to rework their math

Jeebus...Ron, get some real test results already before this becomes one of the most BS filled, off topic and runaway threads currently on nasioc

Actually I understand perfectly. Im not the one comparing these cars to a 1960's wet noodle frame.

Ive been around long enough to know it does work on cars with frames that can twist and have the right rear setup with enough travel. I think its pretty ironic that you cant (and wont) address this point, nor the point I made about rear spring rates and tire sizing. Because as you said:

Quote:

How it works on a new awd car is arguable

Until you can refute my point that an Impreza doesnt have the rear suspension travel to make the front bar a viable option, my point stands. Moreover, its the point of this thread, because the plate used in the pictures changes the suspension geometry to allow more travel.

V6TurboTA · 06-05-2009, 04:19 PM

I disagree

soon2bblackongold · 06-05-2009, 04:36 PM

that's the same post you made in the other thread

Suit yourself, you have zero evidence supplied. You have your opinion and its not backed up by facts. You have provided no data to support your claims, you have and are currently dodiging my very blunt and specific question by trying to point the finger at me for not answering yours.

You qualify as an e-tool and will be ignored.

You qualify as an e-tool and will be ignored.

Fact: The Impreza, especially the STI, has very limited suspension travel
Fact: The chassis is already stiff enough to be run without swaybars.
Fact: The majority of these cars use a stiff sidewall tire that is more resistant to flex than the frame
Fact: The STI has an independent rear suspension, which renders your article on old hunk of junk noodle frames invalid.

Dispute those facts. YOU have zero evidence. YOU have your opinion, that ironically, isnt backed up by facts. Mine opinion is backed by facts. YOU have no data to support your claims. YOU referenced one article on a completely different suspension setup and car frame design, however, you cant apply the same basic principals to this car. My 10 years of going to the dragstrip dont have any bearing here, nor does my extensive research into suspension options for the WRX and STI. [/sarcasm]

Speaking of e-tool, you are one. Like I said, get a ****ing clue.

I wonder what the suspension setup is on this car with no travel or squat

Yeah, just look at that squat.

StreetFire

Yeah man, just look at this squat. I mean, WTF? That front swaybar is absolutely holding him back. Looks like he needs more NAWZ and overnight parts from Japan.

2002WRXSTi · 06-05-2009, 09:06 PM

Glad your basing your views on a limited amount of cars. My car was doing 6.9 60's on Mud/Snow tires and it had a good amount of lift back in the day pulling 12.5's.

Then there is this car that has quite a bit of body movement and is driven on the streets to so? You think a stiff suspension is better for the 1/4 fine if I need squat and lift to drag race I will be fine with it.

Unless you invented some magical time travel machine, I highly doubt it.

Yeah, and whats the time differences between the two? Oh, thats right, nothing.

No I took my daily driver in 05' to E-town and ripped 12.5@109 on pump gas with snow tires. I don't doubt it cause I was there and did it. I'm on the VF thread that is right by this one as the OP witnessed it so it don't really matter what you want to believe?

Matter of fact Junior has pulled 1.5 or a 1.49? on stock axles even but I'll have to find out what his setup was? Or he can chime in on this thread

Yeah, 12.5 after a 6.9 60'. Thats believable.

you and v6?

I have been staying out of this thread after I saw on here what Ron ninja'd, and it clicked as to why he was asking about them. Quite frankly I didn't want to get assaulted with either a) you're just trying to sell your crap or b) when can I get it.

You will not get proof of that 1.6 to 1.4 as I won't even tell you what car it was on. The reason for it being on that car was proof of theory in a real world environment. Everything in theory pointed to improvement. Real world test did show improvement of the theory. The test of theory yielded a drop from 1.6 to 1.4. This has been repeated over time so we're not talking about one run here either.

Now, some of you know me, and know me well enough that when I say there's an improvement you'll believe me. For that I thank you.

Many of you don't know me. That's fine. Let me leave you with this - numbers will be posted if we choose to go to production with it. I'm not going to put a part out there without some kind of evidence that it does what is claimed.

Right now, the current plan is to have a very small batch of close to production parts done. These will be most likely sand cast, whereas final will be investment cast.

That small run of pre-production, functional parts, will be sent to a number of volunteers to test and provide feedback. These people have already been chosen, and represent a pretty broad spectrum of drivers and cars. If we see enough of an improvement from this larger sample group then we will greenlight production, and post up the slips from the sample group.
