realistic dream car: something I build myself :) Probably something 7-esque but I might prefer mid-engined, and it would have to be powered by something from a bike (I happen to know a guy who builds 2.4L V8s from a pair of Kawasaki 1200's...not that I could afford one). Need to get myself settled down somewhere and set up with a decent garage/workshop before I can make it a reality though.

bit less realistic: Lotus Elise or Exige.

for 22k your not breaking the banking either


amazing how many ppl like the v8 and v9 sti's..... I wonder how many ppl know the differences between the 2 models, phil I would hazard a guess that you do?

Put me on that list too!!! In black or white, Most likely I will upgrade from my current STI to one of the newer single - twin scroll turbo equipped legacy wagons just cos im getting old (and i can carry snowboards in it.

If I won lotto an Audi RS4 or RS6 would be top of my shopping list

The ST205 3S-GTE WRC I have, it actually has 4 smaller antilag pipes, and is driven by the bottom of the blow off valve instead of just after the throttle body, and speaking of which, noticed the side intake instead of center intake of ST205. Tapered cam cover, different exhaust manifold.

I know it's a differernt beast when it comes to WRC, but I'm just fasinated by the WRC's technology, from engine, down to the active diffs.
No "stance", no "hellaflush", none of that bullshit. Nothing but no grip on full boost.

It's a WRC engine. Not a factory engine...
