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

Errrm then how the hell did this car pass its SVA?
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.
