What is the max speed (on the Speedo) you have had from your Subaru in third gear?

naughtybutnice 01 September 2002 11:16 PM

not quite sure but i think about 80-85 (mph)have got a razo quick shift though (60mph is just on the 2nd to 3rd change) need to change gear @ approx 56mph. how does it compare??

Gotta be more than that, mine will do about 95ish in third, and 125 in fourth, on my private road of course!!

STi 7 01 September 2002 11:42 PM

my friend hit 145mph on the way to manchester via oldham... but no ones meant to know that ;)

thing is you gotta slow down straight away cause it soon becomes a 40mph zone for some silly reason and theres a speed camera hidden on the left :p

Third is about 90 in my MY00 and fourth is about 140 on autobahn.

Is this a max power feature?

Dont nobody have a 5th gear...........

I know I have.

Brun 02 September 2002 08:56 AM

Yup, i've got a 5th gear, but if i quoted my best speed from that, then i wouldn't be answering the question.
In answer to the question, an indicated 97mph.

chrisp 02 September 2002 09:13 AM

About 75 in 3rd @ 7,500rpm :D

P20SPD 02 September 2002 09:33 AM

95 in 3rd on a UK MY00

140 in 4th:eek: what model you got, i thought the uks maxed at about 130 in 4th:eek:

Flat 4x4 02 September 2002 10:02 AM

Yes - 128 is the true top end in 4th (133'ish on the speedo ?)


P20SPD 02 September 2002 10:04 AM

Some people - uh. I dont know lets talk down the pub figures on bbs that knows what the cars in question will do.:D

TaviaRS 02 September 2002 02:22 PM

Why not look in here?

tiktok 02 September 2002 03:15 PM

I can get just under 100 in 3rd, and just under 130 in 4th.
Uk spec Catalunya (1997), non modified.

FamousCoops 02 September 2002 06:46 PM

MY94 legacy turbo:-
1st = 50mph
2nd = 75mph
3rd = 110mph
4th = 130mph
5th = 160mph+
quite heavily modded ,these speeds acheived on a track day of course.

DARREN 02 September 2002 07:03 PM

At least 101 mph in 3rd.....STi 2
Thats what i hit on the quarter mile and i was still in third!!

naughtybutnice 02 September 2002 07:22 PM

Musafa, what i thought that with my94 bieng restricted to 115 mph, a quick shift with a lower gearing would reduce the optimum mph of each gear, therefore not getting as higher top speed @ higher revs, but doing it a bit quicker...eg 2nd gear at top revs is 56mph so have to change up to 3rd to reach that 60 mph! you did ask!

P20SPD 02 September 2002 07:25 PM

quickshift does not alter the gearing, it merely shortens the throw, hence the quicker gear change. IIRC.

Scooby555 2 02 September 2002 09:12 PM

MY00
3rd gear 95mph and :eek: i found the rev limiter :eek:

bioforger 03 September 2002 09:43 AM

standard MY99 also 95mph @ 6000rpm, probably push a ton on the limiter.

hail-hail 03 September 2002 09:48 AM

STi3, get over 100 in 3rd.

Dunc20 03 September 2002 11:21 AM

MY99 uk turbo, de-cat centre exhaust system and induction kit. approx 85mph in 3rd at around 6000rpm.

bioforger 03 September 2002 11:27 AM

Dunc20 only 85 with a decat? something wrong there, u sbe tonning it and some.

bioforger 04 September 2002 01:56 PM

um i feckedup yes i get 85 to, i get 95 @ 7K rpm :)

pramrace 04 September 2002 02:27 PM

My P1 hits about 104 in 3rd gear.

alanjack 04 September 2002 07:09 PM

Though i'd ask as I have just had the Apexi Power FC fitted and my car now does approx 105mph as opposed to the 95 it used to hit.
This is because my rev limiter has been altered taking into account the Power FC MY98(uk)
