My mates 1 of 5 xtrial classic now running 100 shot of nitrous







interesting thing he said to me when I asked about gearboxes. I said what box in it and he said 5 speed, I said can it take it and he replied I was on 600 bhp on the 6 speed and blew that on the way to the strip come back dropped the 5 speed I and was running a 10 second with nitrous all weekend. said he's blown both 5 and 6 speed bit said not as weak as everyone says

Standard Subaru 5 speed?.SJ.

Tidgy

doubt its running 700 or 600 bhp tbh, should be well into the 9's. sounds like pub talk

bigdal

it was running 580 on the GTX30 and I think he's said he run a 10 sec dead before the nitrous . Not being funny hes no reason to pub talk when's he's explain to me about it while sitting in his 900 hp mclaren P1.

not just the bhp though have you seen a 300bhp WRC go , exactly don't say here what 300bhp should go like .
I'll have to get a vid from him it'll be racing this year so I'll find out what days and you can see for yourself.

700bhp on a 5 speed aye ok then lol i have killed a few at 420 with normal road use.

RS_Matt

[QUOTE=bigdal;11752287]I only have 333/307 on my 5 speed and no 6 speed STI under 720bhp can best me over 100m. 7 years and still waiting!

There, big ARF's old 709bhp car X444 v mine X57



I pulled off a quicker 0-60ft by 0.102, the 3rd quickest of the day out of 51 cars. (I also managed the quickest reaction time which helps leaving big turbo'd cars)

I think P1Hardy has just pulled a 0-60 ft of 1.8 and 1.9 seconds in his 700bhp+ STI, I did my 1.8 on a cold damp track with muddy budget tyres.

The much maligned 5 speed box is a true beauty, efficient as ****. Tweaks has mentioned a few times on here running big power on a 5 speed, on 2 cars if I remember correctly.

I once read on NASIOC that heat is the biggest killer of the 5 speed, so with good oil and measured changes it should be fine for the strip.

Strange thing is people who have swapped from a 5 to a 6 speed claim the car seemed faster with the 6. I'm pretty sure an STI running circa 13 seconds at the strip could shave 0.4-0.8 off their time with a 5 speed. The box is lighter, more efficient which enables more power to the wheels and has slightly better ratios for taking off.

People have run mega power on proper built 5speed gearbox's

bigdal

ok say this isn't 700bhp for arguments sake, it's running a GTX35R @2.2 bar and has a 100 bhp shot of nitrous on it and it has a 5 speed at the moment ,it was 6 until that blew . so are you saying that there isn't a 5 speed in it or its running Less than 420 bhp in that spec? what are you saying?

joe v3sti

Standard 5 speed gearbox's are crap, I'm sure tweeks will agree that considering that he's just smashed 2 up. They are not up to competition usage. However a fully built, straight cut dog box, straight drop gears, the full mashings can be a fantastic gearbox, but come at a serious cost

RS_Matt

I think someone said the lower weight of the classic is easier on the 5 speeds but don't quote me.

What's the average price to fix a 5 speed that lets go?

RS_Matt

Have you seen the way he drives!!! I've never been as scared.

joe v3sti

iTrader: (8)

Truthfully I have no idea what they cost to fix. I would like a proper 5 speed in my sprint car. There's a serious 30kg weight saving to start with. Problem is a proper competition dog box is about 5k. And there's still always a chance that it could let go.
For power the 6 speed is a better option tried and tested and cost a lot less than built 5 speeds

My 5 speed has just let go at 473bhp and 495ftlb

In fairness they've been UK boxes that let go, his RA box is good but he just don't like the ratios, too short.
I'd hanker the type r boxes are probably best on 54 form.
I would of kept mine in tbh and wait for it to break but I had a strange feeling it would probably last, but I got a good swap deal on a 6mt dccd for it. My old box is going to get turned into straight cut.

It's a bloody quick car that of Tims, it's a good spec and a hell of an achievement on a stock block. I like people pushing the boundaries with stuff, if people don't we don't move forward. I only seen it up close once, unfortunately at TOTB I was busy doing my own thing, but would love to see that car with a 6speed in, would be very quick

Tidgy

type r and ra ae same ratios, or have i missed what your getting at with that?

v2 ra was the shortest of the lot, tops out at about 120mph tidge

ah k, i was comparing 5 vs 5

Matt...what are your times for this unbeaten 100m dash that no STi has ever beaten you on?

banny sti

He's fortunate I've not seen his heap on the road, even my oil burner golf would annihilate him

Tidgy

has he actualy got one or has been playing gt5?
