ECUTEK News - EcuTeK breaks Porsche record

3rd May 2004
7 year Porsche record broken.
Targa Tasmania Rally (Australia)

Driving a Subaru Impreza STI S202, Sydney rally driver Tony Sullens has beaten Porsche driver Jim Richards to win the 2000 KM event.

The 38-year-old from Gosford began today's final leg from Burnie to Hobart second overall, 18-secs behind Richards, driving through hail, rain and snow he went on to win by 1-min 16-secs. With the exception of a indiscretion with a guide post on the Mt Arrowsmith Stage, Sullens still was fastest and managed to pass over ten cars!

Ambient temperature today was only approximately 1 degree Celsius on most stages, and this worked in favour of the many turbo cars, the added complication of snow even better for 4wd models!
Tasmanians Jason and John White were second in a Nissan Skyline, followed by Queensland's Tony Quinn in a Porsche 911. Richards finished fourth.

Driving on Kuhmo Tyres and tuned with EcuTeK software the limited edition Japanese model set a scorching pace that no one could equal on the final day.

The EcuTeK software interface allows tuners to re map the factory standard Subaru ECU without wire mods, additional chips or any other hardware modifications. "Its like we were at the factory choosing the settings we want" said Sydney businessman Brett Middleton. "We have found no limit of the software yet and Tony's car is testimony to that" he added.
The changes allow owners to benefit by choosing what they want, such as, more power, improved fuel economy, revised rev limit's and better drivability to name a few.

The team are also supported by Global Machinery Company (GMC Tools), Sunoco fuels, Mitre Ten Gosford and Andy Chris Cars Sales, Long Jetty.
