Thumbs up fastest Non-Forged 1/4 mile time?

As above really was just wondering who holds this title, hoping people be honest as sure loads are running forged pistons etc nowadays, im on about genuine std non forged bottom ends..

Who's quickest?

Andy's engine back then wasn't strictly standard for the car though, he had a set STi forged pistons in it iirc. It still went well whatever though.

cheers

Newage wrx? Newage Sti doesnt count as obviously forged or hypo pistons which are another thing alltogether.

So Andy F's time doesnt count either, anyone else?

If that's the case, don't think may people would dare of fear to break the box on launch.
However if it's a rolling start I'd be up for it lol

I ran a 14 dead many many years ago in a 1995 WRX. Was standard apart from a fancy back box and a slightly slipping clutch.
Plus I couldn't drive for love nor money, was first ever go on the strip.

Hang on a minute, am I miss reading some comments above.

Do new WRX's have tougher engines than the classics? I've heard they do off people, but dismissed it.

What's the difference on a stock newage WRX engine to a Classic's?

All newage impreza's have much better design of conrods and better material, so a newage wrx can manage 400hp good job as they need all the help they can get to move their fat *****, but you'll need a six speed box.

No slip for mine mate as it was a few years ago.

Also, I wouldn't fancy putting 400bhp through a WRX motor unless I had the funds to repair/replace when it let go.

I do have a slip, god knows where it is now though as it was over a year ago and have got many slips for my other car in between times. I may be able to download the results from the event.

I managed a 12.88 in my old UK T2000 Wagon running 330/330.

That was at RAF Odiham, never got to run it on Santa Pods nice flat sticky tarmac, as I sold it but should of been able to go a wee bit quicker.

Some really great times, proves you realistically don't need to go forged to have a quick car!!

When I get back from work I'll rewrite the table, but Raj is in the lead..

Taking from Andy's site...

Our 440 Bhp 2.0 litre MY 95 WRX RA held the UK ¼ mile record for over two years running stock internals.


Quick Reply: fastest Non-Forged 1/4 mile time?
