Ridgeracer Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Well I for one currently drive a 98 Honda Accord EX. Its has about 150 HP at the crank but feels like less and it weighs a ton. If i step up to a Legacy turbo ill have an extra 100 HP and AWD....I hope i can control myself the first day I take delivery..... :D "Gimme mines Balboa...Gimme mines".....Clubber Lang - Mr. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Zevil Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 My WRX right now if pushing about 240 HP.. not much difference, but I am looking forward to feeling that torque build early in the rev band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukonart Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 lol. . . I went from a blistering 130 HP Civic. . . . to my 300 HP STi. So I guess I already made a big jump, but I'll be "jumping back" a bit when I get a Legacy GT. I'll still be keeping the STi though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ20H-TT Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Well i went from about 60hp mazda 323. To currently about 250hp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Got a ~170chp Legacy GT right now. More than plenty to get me into plenty of trouble. If I go to a LegGT turbo, will be nice, but I've driven FXTs, WRXs, and a couple STi's, so no big deal there. :) Will just be a bit different to have it actually mine. :) We'll see how long it stays stock. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJ20H-TT Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I was doing a lot of comuting in traffic - and it was very good in traffic bbeing small and light. But yeah - it's a big change in driving style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPower Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Actually, it will go up by infiniti since I am currently without a car living in the city here. I'm having to use taxis ($1-1.50 to just about anywhere in the city), but I'll be moving again within the coming months. Before that, I had 100hp in 1780lbs. Peugeot 106 rallye.

SUBE555 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 FINALLY I get to see the ol car. That baby is stylin Preston! Should have brought it back so I could RallyX/Ice race it. Nice and light. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tide Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Im currently at 305 in my WRX, so I'd be going back to 250. My mod goal would be 350 though. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is reinforced and even has roll cage mounting points in it. It didn't have a lot of acceleration, but a big lobbing cam made is sound reall tuff, and the short close ratio 5 was sweet. Amazing balance for a fwd car. It's weird to do a 4wheel drift around a corner in something so small and fwd. I guess I should make a thread for it.

Skylab Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I'm taking an estimated 150 horsepower loss. and a 250 lbs ft of torque loss.  Not the daily driver. It's being delivered to the new owner next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krisby Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 In the UK my wife had 1100cc Peugeot 106 ( i hated driving it) with about 60bhp, I had a Yamaha YZF750R with 125bhp. When we came back to NZ I got a diamante with about 200bhp, and hope to get to 288 with the RSK, and more if much tuning allows, though I was told by my dealer that it ain't too wise to do too much, as it can make the engine run hotter than it already does. So looks like I will definetly get a K and N filter, shouldn't be too stressful, and a powerchip if my dealer reckons it ain't gonna stress out too much, but I hope 300bhp would be attainable, mainly just to tell mates in the UK, they would be gob smacked, even a friends Audi TT has less.

HeavyB Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I'm embarrased to say that the 1989 Toyota Corolla will gladly be discarded when the '05 Legacy GTs comes out. I do drive my wife's '98 Outback from time to time too. Cheers, HeavyB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goneskiian Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 It's a big jump for me too. From about 110 chp in my '97 Civic HX coupe to the 250 in the GT. I'd better be careful at first! Just don't remind me about the mpg hit I'll be takin' :wink: :lol: Guess I'll just be helping the human race to give up it's dependence on oil.....by burning it faster! :twisted: :lol: -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 The new one of mine will probably be getting better mpg than my current GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUBE555 Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I usually get like 18mpg in my GT, mostly 45-55mph driving in 5th gear. Yeah, I need a new one, this one is sorta sick. It's not even comparable in smoothness to my mom's '00 RS Sedan/5MT as I can tell mine has really taken a nosedive in the last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Yeah, looks like I'll be getting about 15 more horsies with the GT, but it's the torque that'll make the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
