Yeah, was a thread with him coming out of the closet recently, but it was deemed acceptable because most had guessed anyway.

So in this thread i have not once insulted you... Merely pointed out i didnt think it was as good as the skyline...
I then made a joke referring to a previous thread..
Yet you feel the need to dish insults out and swan about like your better then everyone else ...
I dont have any hard on for you.... I do however think your still the arrogant bell end you always were.... Might aswell leave it at that

Come to your own conclusions, but yes... you are correct. I called you a prick.
That's my opinion.
Call it paranoia if you like, but I have noticed some sly digs from you in recent posts... fishing for a rise from me. I had no idea who you were so just ignored them. Makes sense now though.
So why the name change?

If anything I think putting the GTR lump and guts into an Impreza would be a step back... it would weigh about 200kg more
Does the straight six weigh that much more, or is the shell heavier then? Can you make the flat four produce the same amount of power as the Skyline, with the nice new gearbox it has?
I can see it being a shed load of work, but if you've already got the running gear it might be worth it.
The GTR engine, gearbox and transfer box are a fair bit heavier, dont know amounts, but 100's of KG. I can fanny about with the long impreza engine putting it on a stand/crane etc, NO danget I could do that with the RB26 engine.
Power wise - the RB26 will take power more easily, but 600bhp is easy enough for a built Impreza engine if running the right parts.
Gearboxes - sequentials for Imprezas are cheaper 
Different cars though - the GTR wasnt bad, far from it. Loved the car... just time for a change now really. It handles/feels VERY different to the wee Impreza and you can really feel its weight (despite being about 250kg lighter than standard).
The GTR was down to 1350ish kg
My Impreza weighs 1150kg (with full weight doors, electric windows, mirrors etc) - should be easy <1100kg
To be honest the weight is the biggest factor!

I never made any sly digs so feel free to post them up..
I havent had a name change, i got banned. Started using a mates account which was spotted after about 3 days... Used it about 10 months until thegsi caught me out concrete.... Everyone already knew it was me including admin... They have decided to leave it as im not causing a problem..
Every single one of my posts regarding the whole accident up until the tyre post has been serious...
As said you just cant take it the i dont wank you off because you own a couple home brew racing cars...
I loved the skyline in its newest form - it looked "cool as fuck" as you so arrogantly qouted, a satin black scooby is not in the same league as it was.... Maybe when your done with it, it will be, but not at the minute...
Its deffo a step down compared to some of the cars you mentioned getting, although i do realise you have just lost a huge asset to swap/trade..... That is not to say you wont make a huge wad breaking it but that will take time

I havent really spent much time driving the GTR recently, but dont particularly like it to be honest. Fee's seat is a bit small, and the car just didnt handle the way I like it On a flat open track and full power it is unreal, but tight twisty its a bit hard work.
Fee likes my car, but finds it quite tail happy. Nothing a bit of adjustment wouldnt sort out.

I cant pin point one thing, but just comments. Wheels, too fast, evos - maybe not meant, and they were taken with a pinch of salt..... but now knowing its you (John-d) makes it different
Easiest thing for you to do is ignore my posts... at least you know me, and I'm not lurking under someone else s username. That seems to be the best course of action.
Can you manage that?

I could do but don't see why i should....
Wheels - i wanted some and did buy some rotas... I was 100% being serious although maybe a bit inappropriate with my timing
Evos - that was DannyB who manages to get along with me nowadays, i just joined in
Faster - was in jest as an extension of the evo thing
Maybe you just need to do just that and take what i say with a pinch of salt.... Instead of getting your knickers in a twist because im not impressed with your new car...

i didnt. Read what I'm writing!
I took it with a pinch or salt UNTIL I found out who you were, and then took them as digs.

I was really impressed with the RA scoobies at SLS, never really spent a lot of time around/in Subarus but if it has half the attention/money your GTR did then it will be a very capable car. Look forward to seeing it.

I think the current white one would be about 1sec slower round KH than Oggy's Blue/Green one (has about 630bhp, to my 450-500)

Plan is to build it up to a similar spec to Adam's and then we can both enter SMRC and get some close racing!
It'll be getting resprayed the same colour as the GTR
