What are we talking about here

 

Did you once drag race a Blob WRX in your Blob STI, I vaguely remember a conversation about it.

Something like 13.4 STI and 14.2 WRX

Don't worry I'm not leading you, just can't remember.

 

Rear screen leaks, quite common on a classic, and I think one of my rear lights needs resealed.

 

Doubt it's got more STI parts than his 22B.....

I'm calling bullshit on 265BHP

 

No I meant that I doubt I'm envious of a 265bhp car when the ultimate inspiration Andy Forrest isn't using many STI parts in the car. I bet even the STI chassis has been tweaked!

What car is his bottom end out of

 

Slightly different but my rear light has been misty on the inside since I bought it, it was only 4 or 5 years old when I secured it. Not sure what to do to cure it. I guess there are tricks.

 

Drag/Time Attack/TOTB car? SVX.

 

Take it out, dry it out, and re-seal with non-setting sealant. Carafax and the likes.

 

 

Have managed 11.68 in a stripped out 400ish bhp classic.

Actually ironically on the same PPG box that Aztec ran there time on. Must be the gearbox

 

I'll never forget talking to Arf at the strip and him telling me that the STI 6 speed was holding him back. 5 speed is the way he forward he declared!

This site could do with a stickied drag time league table.

 

 

AET just phoned me asking where I'd got their number from, bit strange.

Should have told her I won't be using them again, but in all honesty it's unfair to single tuners out as we are all on a learning curve.

 

Huh?

Yay, made the top 10 for RWYB reactions. 1st fastest in the car category.

I would have been quickest for the day but I think sub 0.5000 are ruled a foul.

I did the 2nd fastest 4x4 0-60 foot and even beat Arf's old car's 0-60 foot on its 10.7 pass! ...and JGlanzV thinks my launch can be massively improved!

My 0-60 was timed last year year at 4.5 with 299/260, love to know what it is now with 333/307 and a faster timed 0-60 foot!

7th quickest car of the day out of 51 participants - http://www.yorkdragway.org/results.p...-12;catagory=X



6th quickest 1/8! My launch might be primitive but it works!

 

Why is my terminal so low? Long WRX ratios, low compression or not enough BHP?

 

Can't be the long ratios, 5speed is the way forward remember!

Why do you continue to use/abuse it when you say it has bad compression?

 

 

Your terminal speed is the same as the cars doing 14 second quarter mile!! Which im guessing is that your car is quick of the start obviously 4wd launch is giving you a good start, but not very quick once rolling maybe look into getting a bit more lb/ft from your car!!!

 

It's the best time to abuse a car! Even had a back up bottom end stored away for 5 years, but the engine never got worse.

 

Dunno what it is. I think mickywrx had a similar terminal to mine after a 12.4 run so maybe 3rd and 4th is too long in the wrx?

 

surely not the wrx box is amazing...

 

No, it's the best time to FIX the car!

Why not just buy a better engine/car to make the time you want?

 

Glad I didn't to be honest. Got 5 years to date out of it after being told it had less than 12 months left. The only symptom is still only light engine judder at idle. Mpg fine, emmisions fine, not smoking and good power for a TD05. Uneven compression for the win! @R1

 

So to do an 11second quarter mile we all need……

An underpowered and poorly engine, a wrx gearbox, crap tyres (with mud in them), and all in a lard **** car!?

Oh wait, you're still over half a second off, i'll give it a miss thanks

 

Probably closer to a second off....

Matt you are going to need more power and decent tyres. I hope you do get an 11 to prove the nay sayers wrong but honestly I don't see it is possible with what you have right now.

Do you have coilovers on the car?

You 100% need some stickier rubber, the problem then lies with watching your gearbox obliterate its self when you launch it

And a 220lb driver doesn't help.

Like I say my tyres were full of mud and the track was damp and 11c, I spun considerably compared to summer runs.

I think 12.6 isn't a time I would have got in the summer. That said it took 30bhp to get from 13.7 to 13.3 and 35bhp to get from 13.3 to 12.6.

It's gonna take another 30bhp to be sure and in weight that is 300lbs.

 

Think I need the mods to shave 0.5 off tbh. Think the car could easily hit 12.4 on a better day.

Car does have coilovers. I have toyed with slamming the car on the day.

 

I'd love to see some of your working out to come up with 30bhp = 300lbs

I can't even begin to get my head around how you've come up with them figures

It's safe to say, I'm not a fan of this project
