Expect a visit from your local cop shop admitting that on a public forum

I crossed the line at York doing 107mph, timing slip said 98mph!

My STI type r said 150mph odd on the clock at donnington, power fc said 127mph.

My remapped 04 wrx would go off the clock at 160mph in Germany, but I doubt it made it much past the quoted top speed of 145mph in reality.

OP i'd get friendly with one of the Subaru specialists off here if I were you because your going to be spending a lot of time and money with them at this rate.

RedScoob

You should get around 140mph, Satnav will give you a better idea. I have a similar age WRX and they can't go much faster even if you're bouncing of the limiter.

Carnut

Some one told me that in Japan there was a gentleman's agreement between the car folk that the skyline was to have the highest top speed and bhp but in actual fact some Subarus had more than they stated.(the b4 rsk being one)

Been well off the clock on a airfield test day

160 on the clock is probably 144 in real speed
Long time since there has been a thread on top speed / dump valves / second hand pads ,discs / roof scoops / police arent nice people / I think it's unfair I got done at silly speed in a 30/40/60 /70

Did not think about using a sat nav. Am going up there next week . Thank u . P.s that true about the sky line & Subaru. I did hear that BMW & mec did something like that . & yes it's was done at brain tree air track . By the sounds of someone comments they don't like speed. They must have a ford or a push bike. Lol. God has no one ever wanted to no there top speed. Lol . Thank u lot will put the sat nav up and see wot that says . Nice1

Jayjay100

My car has 180 on the clock . Not 160 . But I would never take it to that as it would go bang .lol.

This ^ By the sounds of the way you drive it it wont last long....

Mine tops out at a real world 155 as far as I am aware.

Terminal speed on a 1/4 drag was 122 on the timing slip, speedo was reading 130+

Jayjay100

Thanks to all of u will have to try next week at the air field . If it go's bang then it will give me a reason to get 1more Subaru . Then turn the old one to a track car lol.
The sat nav is a good idea. Will . Just wished I new wot has been done to the car as its alot faster then other cars I have has . I.e golf R32 witch was 260 BHP .did have a Cosworth back in the day . They was 204 BHP . Think I need to get it rolling road . The only true way to find out wot BHP it has . Any way thank u to u all for your comments . Am sure I am not the only one that wants to no there top end speed.will post up next week wot the sat nav tells me the mph .

Jayjay100

Exevo3 it has 16" wheels standard .
Red scoob. Thanks for the idea of using a sat nav will let u no .
I do seems to me the clocks can be out on the Subaru .as alot of u r say the same . Thank again to u all .
Micky WRX . I hope it don't go bang was joking about that . Have a good day to u all

If it is on the standard top mount, sustained high speed runs have been known to seriously knacker the engine

Jayjay100

JGlanzaV thank u will keep that in mind. Nice 1 mate

Sure fire way to detonate the bottom end.

I'm with urban.....

A warning re running at high speeds is that the airflow over the bonnet starts missing the scoop and you end up with high inlet temps and detonation.

Why isn't my "Quote" working - now I know, urban's post and others have been removed.

Hmmmmm, anyway, not to worry.


To the OP - be careful, your comments are usually the beginning of another thread on here about engine rebuilds

As stated, forget about top speed. That's for ***** wavers down the pub.

You'll probably end up stranded when you blow the engine up.
