I would expect a 1230kg Subaru with 260bhp to do a mid to low 13s.

For the record, my RA doesn't have leccy anything but does have aircon (No e/w c/l or e/m). It doesn't even have passenger grab-handles lol!
As I said, I horlicksed the starts definately but as previously stated, this car should be lighter and more powerful than my PPP UK99 - best time 13.5. Gearing is different in that I would only just get into 4th on PTMW! but need an extra change to cross the line under acceleration with the RA.

at the final line i find i have to hit the red line in 4th gear on my 97wrx (sti box)
always pondered about changing into 5th and when i finally did it, it made me slower

I find the same as above . A quick gear change into 5th just dosen't seem natural . I'm not sure it should slow you down that much in the long run. I think its just a case of alot of practice. My first time earlier this year at the pod in my RA i managed a 14.3 pass but car was overheating and playing up a little. Also not had alot of practice in the car . Unfortunately i missed this years Japshow due to an overboost problem. I can't wait to get it on the strip when its running well . I reckon low 13's should be acheiveable.
Thanks

To answer the original question and as a guide i did 7 runs in my Sti Type Ra on Sat and then 3 runs on the Sun and the best i could get with a .15 reaction time was 12.6 most of the times were around 13 secs and that includes full de-cat scoobysport exhaust with 5" titanium back box tubular headers, apexi power fc and Roger Clarke lightened flywheel mapped at Zen performance and at that i thought i did well! so i am gutted if some of you are getting in the 12's with less mods (for those of you who i chatted within the fire up lane i was in the white sti ra with 6 pot porsche calipers)

well my times came a tumbling down ,i started with a fairly easy run of 12.87 just to see what the prep was like a bit skittish half track .so second run got me an 11.95 that i was looking for .third run started well with a 60ft of 1.628 then an 11.904 @ 119mph
last run of the day literally last car on the track on saturday i sheared all 6 inner cv bolts and snapped the drive shaft on the other side (good job really or i would have taken the lights out)but heyho thats drag racing and the only thing scooby in my car is the engine

puff the magic wagon i was struggling with 4th and 5th but i found i was out of steam at about 2000 rpm before the red line so i started to sort of short shift in fourth so i got back on peak power in 5th as i crossed the line by doing this i started to shave off a few more tenths but i sussed this out abit late in the day i just need more fecking power so have been talking to David at API I WANT TO BE IN THE BLOODY ELEVENS then i supose ill want to be in the 10's ah well!

The reason that I ask is that I have access to the calipers; I wondered whether the adapters were available and which rotors were used.....
