It was RWYB day at the pod yesterday and it was freezing. The track was no good and hard to get power down odd the line, Here is my 2nd run, I ended up Giving up as wheels were still spinning as I grabbed 3rd gear with it hitting the limiter in first and second.
I had the cheapest crapest tyres on mine when I first got it and still only got wheel spin in 1st gear the rest was fine and I was running mid 13's all day in a Stock 05 JDM STi
What time did you run? I ran an 11.6 in the wet and only wheel span in 1st gear
11.6 in the wet, how did you manage that then as they close the track as soon as it rains then they dry it with the dryer on the back off a lorry and dont allow anyone to run unless the track is completely dry
i go and watch at santa pod quite often on rwyb days as its local to me.
most standard wrxs run in the 14's and standard stis in the 13's.
you need over 400 bhp to get into the 12's in an impreza.
I think your issues are more down to set up than the weather. Did you warm the tyres? Did you adjust pressures etc? Damper settings on the coilovers? (Soft at back hard at front) plenty of things to check
At pod in the summer I will be hoping to break into the 10s if I can get the set up correct.
wimpy id say your car is about right for the power and conditions.
as i said the stis are in the 13's at pod, but the gearing is different on 6 speed box's
Again as said out of all the runs I did yesterday this was the only time this happened so set up is just fine! This thread was more of a bugger this happened type thing. lol

yea time wise I know its spot on so that's cool. I would love to brake into the 13's but not looking likely. its going in for another mapping in the next few weeks to do a few tweeks as only running 0.9 boost.

adding a 6 speed uk to my blob took 0.5 sec off my times.
The new owner of my old car was running it yesterday. He said the track was awful and couldn't stop the wheels spinning, he ran a low 13. Ive run mid 12's in it with wheel spin (almost 3 sec 60ft).
Unless the weather has been perfect for a few days leading up to the rwyb day then the track always seems very greasy. I spun up through the first three gears with little over 400 ponies.

False I ran 11.68 and 11.71 back to back running a 2.1 and td05 20g. Fairly lightweight
Classic mapped for 10% methanol. In the dry possibly down wind though

Cold day at santapod = not traction off the line.
then they dry it with the dryer on the back off a lorry and dont allow anyone to run unless the track is completely dry
