This is mine from a recent drag event, Classic RB5 running a 2.1 with standard location GT30/76 at 550/520. looks to me to be around 3 seconds 0-60

Sounded like a gentle launch too matto.
Are these right guys?
Newage WRX Manual transmission gear ratios:
1st - 3.454
2nd - 1.947
3rd - 1.366
4th - 0.972
5th - 0.738
reverse - 3.333
final drive ratio - 3.90
Newage STI manual transmission gear ratios:
1st - 3.636
2nd - 2.375
3rd - 1.761
4th - 1.346
5th - 0.971
6th - 0.756
reverse - 3.545
final drive ratio - 3.90
STI even has a shorter reverse lol, looking at the gearing the STI must feel very rapid in 3rd. Somewhere between the extremes (1.560) would be nice :/

1994 WRX Jap gearbox
1st - 3.454
2nd - 2.062
3rd - 1.448
4th - 1.088
5th - 0.825
Save for 5th being a bit short that could be a great box if mine goes caput. Are those ratios specific to the 1994 model or all Classic WRX's?

Last years spec I had 473BHP and 540ftlb at 2BAR on Surrey Rolling Road's rollers.
This year I have a slightly different spec Twin Scroll turbo built by Owen Developments again. I haven't had it on SRR yet but I would expect based on the info I have that it will be about 485BHP and 510lbft when put on their rollers, but I am only running 1.8BAR at peak torque and 1.55BAR at Peak Power to produce that.
Owen now offer a stock position GT35 size turbo, which is what Graeme from Whiteline and Fred had on their cars in the sprint series this year. They are producing at least 180BHP more than I have.

I do prefer the long ratios of uk 5mt boxes.I had a 98/s-reg turbo 2000 that was the same.it was a very fast car for standard. I remember hitting rev limiter in 1st all the time because i couldn't change gear quick enough lol i did go from driving cavalier gsi to an impreza though! I've also had two wrx/import classics which had shorter gear ratios and no way near as fast as the uk cars I've owned. In fairness to the classic wrx's they were MY95 and subaru had upped the torque dramatically in 3rd gear by about MY97-98 models.

The ratio's aren't very good either, you go through the box quick, but, the speed you're doing isn't very high.

My mate Parry from up the road had a 326bhp Cav 4x4 with NOS 400bhp, good power at the time, think he ran 12's. Wish I know exactly '12 what' as he can't remember.
