hmm, seems I was a bit hursh, didnt mean to offend anyone. Anyway. that post I did explanining ALS was copy and paste found through google, not my mistake. Anyway, ragarding Elchfaenger, U are right, I went back and watched again, seems it was a damaged wheel. About the auto thing, K seems people were right, but what do u expect from 4 beers, Red Bull vodka, and Captain Morgan.
Okay, back to the game, another thing wrong with ID, the god-like car controls, those damn kids have.
JC:
Seen rally cars on the road heaps of times, going between stages, whole heap of them went through the tunnel late last year in Perth, caused a few surprises when three evo's and an MY98 pop out of the tunnel and get air on the way over the overpass just outside the tunnel.
They're light as hell, and much with the fun to drive >:)
That turbo isn't all that big, but then again, I wouldn't want to see an evo or a wrx with a GReddy T88 strapped to it (Think of the lag kiddies) (Sidenote: MY98 (1998) WRX STi, came shipped stock in Australia with a GReddy T66 turbo, making for 205Kw (275hp) at the wheels, the most powerful PRODUCTION WRX STi to date!)
There is a ex WRX STi rally modified car at one of the Subaru dealerships in town, and if you get the right sales person to talk to, they tell you quite a bit about how it's all set up (And they DON'T give out dyno sheets, I asked!)
EDIT: After talking to my mechanic friend, he's given me some pointers as to how Ryousuke could estimate fairly accurately the hp of the R32, and it's nothing to do with the exhaust, but the short race beforehand. It's all to do with the power of the FC3S, acceleration and so on, plus observing the car behind you, how easily it can keep up, turning, down to the basic motion of the car. After going on a circuit race with him once, I realised just how accurate even his handling of the car is, but he's build his car to suit him, almost from the ground up, and has been driving now for over 8 years, so the handling shown in ID is possible in real life, all factors aside... All it takes is practice! /EDIT
Dapprman:
ALS is legal on UK street cars, as the MOT test wouldn't touch it (our annual car safety check). All rally cars that do road sections, or ahve to drive on public roads between stages Must be road legal, which is why now a number of rally drivers have been done on the UK roads for such things as missing wheels.
I do know of two fellow FD3 driers who tried ALS software on their cars. Neither engine lasted very long. If you think it's bad on a 4-cylinder boinger, then you ought to see what it does to a rotary engine.
If you want real race car noises from your engine, then go for a bridge-port, just don't expect the car to be particularly easy to drive around town.

I like cheese.

Y'know... If you put ALS on an already tough block (4AGZE SII for example - Toyota's Supercharged 1.6L 16V for those who don't know the codes), then it shouldn't be all that bad. Main advantages of doing it with that sort of block (Without the supercharger, it'll melt for sure) is that the pistons are ceramic coated, so they have much better heat tolerance and the like.
I have seen a 20btt (Rotary Twin Turbo), go up to over 1000hp, without an ALS, but it didn't last very long either (Wasn't the mods, it was the application... Drag car), but Rotary engines arn't the strongest blocks around.
