Thanks for getting the pics pndbond007....nothing like photographic evidence.
I was quite shocked when they told me 3.59....thought it would possibly do low 4,s....second run bogged down a bit and came in at 4.09
The car has standard non ported headers and standard sti ra gearbox.
2.0 built by Zen running Autronics with antilag and a Gt30 hybrid.
Stripped interior with cobra buckets and Safety devices bolt in cage.
(Thanks to Paul and the team at Zen)
The R888,s helped i think .... and the twin plate clutch..
The car was dynoed about a year ago and produced 369hp ... i was hoping for around 400bhp at the time, but the car delivers the power very nicely imo....
Quickest quarter mile is 11.9 @113mph I,m sure i can shave a tiny bit more off
I had a vid sent too me earlier,its not great but will try and post it if i can.

Your the same as me then, 3 and 5 gear changes respectively, (my time wouldn't be near yours mind!) That makes your time even more impressive!
I wonder if you'd see a quicker time with longer gears?
The six speed is heavier, the ppg expensive!
I was debating this on my RA, if(and when!) the box gives out. Do you have the 3.9 diffs? Makes the six speed a lot easier, and the 5 speed clutch fits too which is a bonus.

I do love the RA gearing, it's much better on the road than on a 1/4 mile, as it's always up in the power band.

Yes i love the ra box in mine.......i need a bullet proof PPG if such a thing exists for not a small fortune.....
Are the ratios on the PPG gearset based on a uk box???

Great times!
The 6sp is fine on the road, especially the JDM 6sp which has a shorter 5th & 6th. If your car feels slow with a 6sp, then you need more torque.

I have experienced a 6 speed box in an impreza........but it seemed slow to change gear...or to get in gear should i say.....compared to the box in mine which i can throw in so to speak.
Could just take getting used to i suppose.

Was the Escort a purple caged item ?
I know a "lad" with one, it makes a Scooby look slow in fifth, and that's @ 400 bhp.
dunx
P.S. A quickshift helps the six speed "feel" nicer, but doesn't help the ratios....

Great Time. Did you have launch control aswell?
Re: Gearbox.
There have been too many breakages on PPG cars with reasonable power to warrant the cost and then the potential addtional repair costs.
Go six speed they are pretty much bullet proof unless you run big, big power and your gear changes are full throttle, clutchless brutal ones.
