DSP... check in!

[waktasz]

I just called them and got an answering machine . I emailed them about 17x9s or 17x10s in 5x100.

They are located in the CST. Best to call them cause they never replied to my e-mails. Talk to Bill if you call them and tell him Pat sent you.

[waktasz]

I figured they were closed, i just wanted to see if the number was still working.

I wonder if I could use the title of highest mileage racing subaru in the US.
I am just about too hit 195K and on the original motor.

I think I was only 130k or so at most on mine. 195k is quite a bit!

And still hitting 7k rpm on SP legal (see also: stock) valvetrain and bottom end.

So much for the thought of the motor self-destructing as soon as you raise the revlimit without changing anything, eh?

It's an interesting point you have there - We ran 7,400 limit with the Hydra, and when I switched to the I-speed flash for STX it was changed to 7,200. I put approx 30k street miles, hundreds and hundreds of autocross runs, and probably 2k miles of track days on my RS hitting that limiter all the time... The next owner did find a slightly leaking valve seal a while after he got the car, but other than that, it did fine. I think the bigger concern is oiling - but on an autocross course, with short bursts of revs that high I don't think it is that big of a deal.

That doesn't count as auto-x isn't real racing

Neither is rally racing because you never have to pass other cars.

Getting back on topic..... Pat did a great job of getting into the trophies last year in Topeka, while Gil and his brother would've been there too had they not broken a strut. I'd like to think that if I woulda softened the car up and actually drove, I coulda been in the hunt. We definately showed the potential. Now that the 275-35-15 is here, some of the e30's will no doubt be going to them as well....maybe some of the e36 drivers too. What is it going to take to keep the momentum up for us?

We have enough tire for grip and we're similar in weight. Power wise (to the ground) we're down a good deal and transitioning prowess leaves a bit to be desired compared to the heavy hitters. We have a link ECU ready to install and tune to try and take advantage of timing control to maximize what we can put to the ground but I'd really like to get the car to handle better still.

Some interesting cars that are eligable for that class...

The Bimmers and the mini's are especially tough...there some others that are outdated and probably need to be moved to FSP...

I have sketched out ideas for what a Maserati Biturbo project could look like for DSP. Obviously, a very strange and specialized machine, but do-able for someone with Italian car background. A couple items to note:

-All Biturbos are on the same line. Find an early 2.5L Carb car and transplant the 2.8L fuel injected engine. 225hp with fairly mild boost stock. With race gas, water injection, and exhaust/manifold work, you would easily be above the output of most other DSP machines in both HP and TQ. Great for fast west coast events, perhaps total overkill for Topeka.

-A race ready weight of 2400-2500 pounds would be doable. Early cars were in the 2600 range, and the heavier later cars were in the mid 2700 range. Minus AC, light exhaust, light battery, light seats etc.

-the 275-15 Hoosier would fit easy

-think of all the contigency you could earn????



On another Italian car note, now that Nationals is on low-grip asphalt, and generally tighter courses, I've wondered what Hoeschler's X1/9 could do again. Especially considering that since he raced, the 1300 and 1500 cars have been grouped together now. There is about 100-150 pounds that could be dropped with heavy bumpers and trim.

Heres my DSP RS.

Megan track coilovers
Perrin rear sway
Super Pro Bushings throughout
Sti Eng/trans mounts
Equal length header
Kartboy SS/bushings
OBX front LSD
Hydra EMS
275/40/17 kuhmos

Needs alot more work and refinement to run with you guys. But I will be out at topeka this year....crosses fingers





Josh

[Patrick L]

Cool man, I hope you can make nationals this year.

[Whiteghost 2.5]

hopefully the new motor is going in this week, then tuning and some local competition. We will see. Its been a long year with this car.

Josh

[madlib]

hey Pat.

So what happened to the big spoiler?

[Whiteghost 2.5]

yea I would like some more info on the rear wing

Josh

Holy carp. Just when i get an ESP/STX/STU/SM turbo car I see the new tires.


ARG.

[Patrick L]

Spoiler... I redid it a bit to make it adjustable. I need to get some adjustable spoiler struts and then I'll try it out again.

I designed a FAST course for our local Subaru Challenge the other weekend.

Everybody was shifting to 3rd before the fist turn.

However, I think my co-driver and I in my RS were the only ones who didn't shift to 3rd at all. Suffice to say the little NA 2.5 makes an interesting scream above 8k RPM.

Pat's RS is looking great on course. The combined effect of a lower car and a more reasonable ride height / suspension geometry makes all the differance. No bouncing, undulating, etc. Looks solid and planted. I'm jealous.

15"s for the WIN!

[Patrick L]

BTW, I tried my 15's on a WRX the other weekend and they didn't fit over the calipers. They were rubbing the shell. It they only had a few MM's

OH! action shot from the KC Midwest Divisional.

You'd need the 4 pots or the RS brakes on the WRX to fit the 15"s...which is why I am putting 4 pots on my WRX.

[Storm]

I'm pretty sure I mentioned it over on USMB......

Not really related to DSP, but I finally put the 98OBS trans into my FSP Impreza as a legal UD/BD. The Brighton trans uses the same gearing as the RS except for the final drive (at least for my 96). The OBS uses a taller 2-3-4-5 ratio which, in 2nd gear, at my revlimit of 7k, took me to 60mph! Grunt out of the corners isn't effected too much either. Now I wish I'd have thrown this box in before the DC Pro.....I don't make enough power to need the OBX LSD in this box....but it might come in handy down the road or in the rain.

Hopefully we'll have both the DSP RS and FSP Brighton in Topeka this year.....probably a pipe dream, but it'd be kinda cool to bring both cars, if my co-driver can find a quicker co-driver for the RS.


Jay Storm

That works. I'd say I'd like to be that codriver...but no way the budget would allow trip expenses right now.
