I was going to do a few mods to my 96 wrx sti (jap import)but today i went to halfords and got some stp power booster put it in my car with a full tank of optimax ive just got in after doing two 0-60 times and was surprised that on both times ive got 4.2 secs
its got a jap panel filter and full stainless exhaust with the cat on how much of a difference will a chip and an apex power induction kit make to the cars performance
thanks me mateys

Tony,
I think that the speedos on these, just like my 98 WRX, are well out when converted from KPH to MPH. Mine seems to read 60mph when the GPS says 52mph, so dont assume it is reading correctly. Also, the accuracy of your timing will come into question i think.

My car is slower then what it should be, i can only manage a lousy 40seconds, but then again, I dropped the stopwatch, afterwards my finger turned out to be too fat for this specific stopwatch.
I'm now looking for an upgrade with bigger turbo

You can underread by up to 10% but you cannot over read, even on a uk car this is illegal.
You will probably find that your getting the following.
1. the wrong way round
2. very incorrect figures.
