2012 STi tearing up the track (Dec 2017)
Sup VIC!!! I still come back to NASIOC for subie resources and it has never let me down. I do miss the old days before FB and smartphones took over the good old internet forum browsing in front of a desktop computer.
Here is my annual VIC post Took my STi to the track last weekend and I'm pretty happy with the new setup. Quick mod list: Suspension & Brake -RCE Tarmac Zero -RCE F/R swaybars -Whiteline roll-center kit -Perrin rear endlinks -Whiteline front endlinks -Cusco front camber plates -Girodisc 2-piece rotors F/R -Project Mu 999 brake pads F/R -Cusco master cylinder brace -BBS STi S203 forged wheels -Nitto NT01 -Castrol brake fluid -Boomba Racing brake deflectors Engine -EJ257 Stock internals -Blitz oil cooler -Blitz Radiator -Samco hoses -Sard low temp thermostat -Cusco oil catch can -Zerosport intercooler splitter -Cobb catted downpipe -Tomei extreme-ti catback -Perrin heatshield -ECUtek by Delicious Tuning -Stage 2 -Motul 300V Exterior/Interior -STi front lip + rubber lip -STi Recaro seats -Takata harness -Defi Advance BF gauges (boost, oil press, oil temp) -Damd steering wheel -Sti shift knob That's about it, a very mild setup as we have a lack of good shops/tuners in HK that have enough experience with subaru. As you guys can see I went with Delicious Tuning in the states instead of local tuners. A short clip of my best lap This was the first time at the track the Stage 2 setup and overall it ran great. I had a little overheating issue though (coolant exploded out of the reservoir cap/tube and eventually I lost like 5-6L of coolant which caused the overheating), which was subsequently diagnosed to be a bad thermostat . The stock water temp gauge moved 2 clicks but it would drop back down to normal after half a lap of cooling down. I was expecting the worst (blown head gasket or something), but compression test showed all 4 cylinders at 150psi . I guess IAG stage 2 shortblock will have to wait... Anyways, that's all for today. Cheers!

It's called Guangdong International Circuit in the China... apparently it's a FIA formula 3 track and less than 10 years old.. lol..
things tend to get old very fast in China.. |
