RIA-TASS reports:

Another Subaru car disappeared between Omsk and Novosibirsk. Probably because Western drivers don't pick up Siberian hitchikers.

:D :D :D

Funked, can you ride 2000km when it's -40C without any stops?

Sorry, I'm drunk, and I strted to drink with guys from Siberia who practice hitchhiking. They prefer KAMAZ ;)

BTW, Funked, do you know that Subaru is a trade-mark for former Nakajima factories?

;)

Boroda for 2000 km I will need a relief tube, a lot of coffee, and a KC-135 flying very low.  :)

I think the temperature would be OK as long as I don't shut off the engine.  I drove in -30 C a few times in Illinois, no problem.

I hope you are drinking some good Polish vodka, not that Russian stuff.  :)

I know it's Fuji Heavy Industry, is that the same as Nakajima?  If so, COOL.  I always liked the Ki-43, -44, and -84.  :)

For Siberian guys it's OK to go drink some beer to a city 2000km away for a weekend ;) They say we are chicken to go drink good coffee from Moscow to Leningrad, only 650km :)

Illinois is a place I watched across the Mississipi when I was in the US in 89 :)  -20C and I heard that they didn't see such a "frost" (hehe) in 50 years in St. Louis ;)

I agree Fatty, unless, of course, he starts posting about clear coat paint finishes as well.

Ruh roh.  I guess I better be careful.  Fortunately I know some southern Cali biker dudes who can protect me.  :)

Thx!  Yes it is fun.  The problem is that I'm going to get arrested eventually.  I've always little cars with 1.6 liter or smaller engines, and you can drive those near their limits and have fun without actually going too fast.  If you drive the WRX near its limits you end up travelling at ludicrous speed.

Nice pic Monk!!!
I need the stickers and the 300 hp motor and the roll cage and the super suspension and the composite bodywork too.  :)

IIRC some British company is manufacturing bolt-on kits for WRX. New exhausts, clutch, chip, air cleaner etc. It did cost something like 2500-3000$.

Nice toy btw, be carefull not to kill yourself with it :)

Although that car fits you Funky like Mathman in a jacked up extended Ford Expedition, be careful.

A guy at work damn near killed the crew chief taking him home. He was showing him just how quick those tiny little cars are, and wrapped it around a pole. He walks with a cane now. I think it's all wheel drive or something, and as fast as they are, it don't help come winter. Just saying.

I haven't drove a 4WD like WRX or Cosworths in winter but with a OffRoad car with 100% differential locks you don't wanna drive it in slides :D

I did read that WRX has viscous locks in center- and rear differential; how does it split power to rear and front?
IIRC old BMW X-models split it 60% rear and 40% front so car handled pretty much like ordinary 2wd.

Post by: funkedup on August 26, 2002, 11:30:50 AM
Staga it has an open front diff, limited slip rear diff, and limited slip center fiff.  The zero slip torque split is 50/50, but as soon as the rear wheels start to slip, the center diff will send more torque to the front wheels, and vice versa.

hmm sounds kinda scary?

How do you know when it's going to oversteer and when understeer? Or is it best guess out of two?  :D

LOL!! I loved that scene in spaceballs.

Funked, you sick puppy, I can see you now, the big ping pong ball helmet and all driving that thing at "ludicrous speed".

No cop could give yah a ticket with a straight face.

:D

May the Schwartz be with you.  :)

Staga, it's not scary.  The car has 60% of the weight on the front axle.  So it has a natural tendency to understeer.  But if you trail-brake and step on the throttle, it will oversteer slightly.  A nice 4-wheel drift.  :)

The only unstable oversteer I have seen was braking too much in a turn, but it was very easy to catch with opposite lock.
