Should mention my friends standard wrx blob,could be in 5th at 30mph without much drama. Its obviously depends on mods and set-up

r180 rear diff rear 316mm discs and brembo 2 pots i/c water spray sti stronger bottom end I have a scdb and forged internals with drilled ground & balance crank,among other stuff. Rear brake calipers don't require a change. I've only fitted one set of discs n pads to the rear since owning car,where I've been through a few front sets. The diff i would consider being part of the 6spd set-up which i mentioned i dont want |

I couldn't even tell you which was faster,a standard wrx or standard sti and i don't even care to be honest,its only guys like thomas i banter with.but i know my modified wrx is a fast car.so much more than a standard wrx or sti
Well here's a 215bhp Bugeye WRX matching them - The best Subaru made imo is the Blob WRX V-limited, it has a strong AVCS engine and STI styling and doesn't have the 6 speed and Brembos which in the real world kills acceleration dramatically. I have an hard-on for the car in the foreground. https://i164.photobucket.com/albums/...03v-lmt007.jpg |

It's strange tbh, some Subaru owners say it just can't be done (even those with shorter ratios) but my car is as happy as Larry at 30mph in 5th. Picks up reasonably well too without stutter. Obviously if I needed to increase speed fast I'd knock it down to 2nd. |

Nope I'd say your just a bit of an idiot that feels the need to make himself feel better at the expense of others, but the sad reality is that you end up making yourself look rather pathetic, but hey simple things please simple minds. :thumb: |

...and lightweight tuner nuts.

they are bigger granted but this is due to them being better to stop the car with, the impreza is not a drag car after all its a performance road car and performance road cars need good brakes
|
The WRX is about 20% faster than an STI due to weight, higher rotational mass, extra gear change and transmission losses.
Ergo as the power levels increase in both the more power an STI needs to keep up with the WRX. Example 1: an STI will need around 360bhp to keep up with a 300bhp WRX Example 2: An STI will need around 430bhp to keep up with a 360bhp WRX Power levels beyond these are expensive for both and the cars will no longer be real world performers. Both will need forging and a strong 5 speed gearbox for both will be a good argument for chasing times. |

Away from the track uprated pads, racing fluid and braided brake hoses are more than enough for a lighter WRX with less than 360bhp. |

RS Matt,
Let's makes this a bit fairer..... What's the weight of your vehicle and what has been your best time down the 1/4, and at what power level? |

Since getting uprated fluid, hoses, cross drilled and vented disks I've not had a problem, even at 330bhp. No word of a lie, if I got an STI one day I'd swap out the 6 speed, get WRX brakes on and take all the external STI badges/stickers off. Fast cars for me have always been about straight line acceleration, never about cornering or late braking. No car has ever over taken me on the inside on a public road or just before a corner so I enter corners slowly then power out, I make other cars wait behind me for the exit. |
