Flat 4_ire you great ****..........
Does the fact there is type R owners on this thread saying their cars do 150 mph + mean anything to you, or are you so up your own fat *** you cant see the daylight.
The standard type r box will do over 150mph, as in fatmanscoobys type R, Jay_bees type R and my P1 (same box) I have had mine showing nearer 160 GPS verified. The RA is the one with the really short 130mph box - thats the rally derived model - not the type R
The only ******* giving ****e info i can see on this thread is you. If your Haynes manual says that, well its wrong im afraid.
Have a look around this site some useful information you may wish to digest before abusing and telling all the other 999 type R owners they are wrong.

no wind up, you are either a liar or you have a RA box in your car.
whichever it is, you are a rude ignorant **** to go with it.

The P1 has a longer 5th gear which was put in to keep the mile munching UK owners happy. Hence the slightly slower 0-60 figure for the P1 over the Type R (I believe the longer final drive does have some impact on all the gears). Its the same as the Type R otherwise.
Flat4, Im not winding you up, Im not lying or anything similar. I have nothing to gain by saying what I said. The lad asked a question and you and I and everyone else has answered. Its up to him to make his own mind up. We know you dont believe that the Type R will do those speeds and thats your opinion. We get it . What I have posted is from personal experience, nothing more nothing less.
Anyway...

Good luck with the purchase, hopefully we'll see you over in the Type R corner (in the Members Gallery) sometime soon with your new purchase.

Ok bud, point taken. I couldnt tell you what the story is behind whatever's in the Haynes manual, I've never seen one for a Jap STi or any other Impreza for that matter, but then I suppose I've never looked for one
All I can say is give it a try then make your mind up. If you still dont believe, then get on a plane to Manchester, I'll meet you at the airport, you can give me a slap and then I'll take you out in mine and you can see for yourself? Hows that sound?

thats perfectly ok, ive not mentioned anything to do with where this top speed vid will be taking place !
hopefully the straight at donnington will do it as its only 30 mins down the rd, if not somewhere similar i guess

The following table of gear ratios relates only to the WRX STi IV saloon. The ratios for the Type R and RA STi models are significantly shorter, at about 19mph per 1000rpm in 5th.
Gear Ratio Mph per 1000 rpm
1st 3.17 5.1
2nd 1.89 8.6
3rd 1.30 12.4
4th 0.97 16.6
5th 0.74 21.8
Final Drive Ratio 4.44:1
Taken from SIDC faq
If my figures are right, the STi 4 door could do 179.85 mph at 8250rpm
I'm thinking the Type R might do the 150 if this is to be believed

The stats for the WRX (non sti) type ra and V ltd version of the type r. The type r and v ltd versions had a different fith gear (v ltd and P1 were the same IIRC). My v5 STi type r will theoretically do 19mph/1000rpm in fith and sits at about 4000rpm at 80mph on motorways, so this is about right. Rev limit is set to 8250 so top speed is 8250/1000 x 19 = about 156mph, and allowing for loss due to clutch slip, friction, wind etc. 135mph would be about right - gets there quick though! I think v ltd had a final drive of 22mph/1000 rpm = 181mph. RA is race altered though - so can differ a lot between specific cars, not all are the same!

fatmanscooby, what size wheels did your v3 have on to reach 150 plus. Im saying your a liar but there is no way i could get 140mph out of my v3 running 16' wheels unless you catapulted it off a cliff lol. Maybe you have a longer fifth gear
