Here's a video of the driveline moving around while the car was on the lift at Sears...

Time for some polyurethane engine mounts!

Thats crazy. Good stuff though. Do you have any other videos?

Congratulations Shiv and Paul! This thread made for some great late night reading. Now get back to work and tell us what we need to make our cars like yours. Are you still running through the stock airbox???

Your own personal track star or lots of track time! hehe.

It was nowhere near 450hp, the most I've ever seen a STI make with the stock turbo was around 310whp and that was pushing race gas with a catless exhaust, etc. I don't know if the Fuller's were running race gas, but likely it was running around 350-375hp at the crank. When I saw the car it certainly didn't look like it had a catless exhaut or anything. Having been in a car with that Praxis suspension it certainly isn't the greatest for track duty, and it adds about 50lbs of weight to the car due to all the lines and air compressor. It does have a bonus though that you can air up your tires anytime you want.

I was at Road America and the Vishnu EVO indeed looked very very fast there. I was at turn 5 when Firestone sent his STI straight into the wall, tried to save it one too many times and into the wall it went. I applaud both Shiv and Paul for doing a great job and it was great to see two 4-cylinder imports in the top 10.

After all that driving and winning the mid-priced class, do you get a trophy????

Trophy shmophy. Who cares about that?! You get your name (Paul) and your company's name (Vishnu) in frickin' Car and Driver with pictures... Which equals more sponsored racing for Paul and more customers for Vishnu. Its a jump seat to the big top.

So I guess you don't know.......

We got two trophies A big cup for first in class. And a regular trophie-like trophie for 5th overall.

both are nice and shiny!

I think a bit of car development and tuning had some to do with it too

And yes, still breathing through a stock airbox.

shiv

All i wanna know is HOW MANY SPEEDING TICKETS???

Certianly! Great Driving *and* Great Setup and Tune! So why didn't you talk 1st overall? geezz. heh. Hopefully next year my brother and I will give you a little competition, so you won't have to be strolling along to a easy class win, hehe. Good Job!

Hey Shiv, feel like posting up pictures of the trophies?

Thanks for the insight and your expertise on a situation you know NOTHING about. I spoke to Shiv on the phone today and I thought we had resolved mostly everything. We have reason to beleive someone hacked and made themselves a moderator and edited Shiv and Robi's posts.

But you would have already known that if you would have actually researched before posting your ignorant reply.
