Brett Middleton and Jim Gurieff talk about the Subaru MY08 STi Grudge Match on this recent show at Blog Talk Radio.
Listen to Brett and Jim talk about Grudge Match and the MY08 including:
- Look at the strengths and weaknesses of the MY08 models
- Why Whiteline needed to increase the bracing on the rear sway bar mounts after upgrading the rear sway bars and how the previous generations problems with the standard mounts flexing with larger sway bars on the back is probably worse in the MY08 than it was in the MY07 and MY06.
And much more.

Coming up on Blog Talk Radio, MRT and Whiteline are going to be talking about the Grudge Match as well as the Subaru Impreza MY08 STi and how it differs from the MY07 and MY06.
MRT Performance and Whiteline have combined to produce STi Grudge Match which compares two identical Subaru MY08 Impreza WRX Sti’s with changes to power related parts and suspension related parts on each of the cars.
Brett Middleton and Jim Gurieff talk about the Subaru MY08 STi Grudge Match on BlogTalkRadio and look at the strengths and weaknesses of the MY08 models.
STi Grudge Match featured the MRT Performance FQ08 STi with a 40kw increase in performance with the Ecutek enhanced ECU and a correctly tuned exhaust against the Whiteline P28 STi with a package of handling parts to make the car handle better, point better and have a higher level of grip.
Listen to Brett and Jim talk about Grudge Match and the MY08 including:
- How the Subaru MY08 Impreza platform has significantly changed from MY07 from an overall comfort and sophistication point of view and why Jim thinks the MY08 is more of a GT platform with a sense of rigidity and solidness that is different on the MY08 to the MY07.
- The difference in the amount of grip in the tyres on the Impreza after the change from the Bridgestone r-spec hybrid tyres on the MY06 and MY07 and how the MY08 STi has a quieter ride and a more tolerable high speed comfort level since the tyres are biased back to more of a cruisy road tyre
- Why Whiteline needed to increase the bracing on the rear sway bar mounts after upgrading the rear sway bars and how the previous generations problems with the standard mounts flexing with larger sway bars on the back is probably worse in the MY08 than it was in the MY07 and MY06.
- What the “sneeze factor” is and why its important with a direct and responsive car and if the Subaru Impreza MY08 STi passes the test.
Get ready for the release of the new Grudge Match video on 8th August 2008 by learning exactly what MRT and Whiteline have done to prepare their cars.
MRT Performance and Whiteline have produced a new Grudge Match which compares two identical Subaru MY08 Impreza WRX Sti’s with changes to power related parts and suspension related parts on each of the cars.
STi Grudge Match video to be released via YouTube and other major video sharing portals on Friday 8th August 2008.
Aiming to compare two identical Subaru MY08 Impreza WRX STi’s in a controlled environment, MRT and Whiteline went to Wakefield Park Raceway and took the team from Ignition DVD along to film all the action.
Both cars were driven by well known Australian GTP production car champion Wayne Boatright who was renowned for the results that he achieved driving several different model Impreza STI’s.
STi Grudge Match created a great opportunity for both MRT Performance and Whiteline to setup and compare cars with similar budgets spent in dramatically different ways – one being suspension and the other being power.
STi Grudge Match follows on from the success of their first Grudge Match video that featured an MY06 Subaru Impreza WRX STi and a Mitsubishi Evo IX, which currently has over 530,000 views on YouTube alone.
Subaru fans can get a behind the scenes look at the preparation and setup of both cars with exclusive video footage and interviews with Brett Middleton, Jim Gurieff and Wayne Boatright at http://www.STiGrudgeMatch.com
