Your 1/4 mile times?
Subaru Impreza Turbo 2000

Looking at the modifications, it's hard to judge if the 1/4 mile time progression is from better handling, driving or both.
K-Sports are heavier, suspension is lighter and the other handling bits are probably around the same.
Wish i had a time for my car when it was standard, does anyone have a time for a Turbo 2000 as standard? Would be interesting to know what it would have done on the 16" alloys.
Thanks

Nice to see you improving a setup to improve times, although it is debatable ie you could just be getting a better time through more experience and better technique?
Time for some engine mods me thinks..

I think the most realistic conclusion would be that, through more experience my times are getting better but i would hope that the handling has improved, even if just .0001.
Looking at the modifications the handling should be better, but the slight extra weight may neutralise this.
Looking at photographs i can for sure say that the front end is now kept low, where as before i use to literally be taking off lol.
I also use the car on track so i beleive given the correct geometry setup, some good tyres and corner weights set, i think it would for sure beat the original handling on the strip and track.
There is no dout though that by getting better suspension i now can adjust it to suit and handle better, something in which OEM suspesion can't do to the extent mine can now.
To be honest my main concern is the 35 profile tyres.
Thanks

Got a figure for that nothing?
I've recently stripped my car extensively, it will be interesting to see what i'll get now, i'm going for the power to weight ratio method.
Thanks

10.88 in a full weight Classic 2 years ago.
I'd like to beat the UK bolt on record next year, but too many people will moan that my turbo isn't a proper bolt on as it has a custom downpipe and elbow and points to the drivers wing.
Of course they're all wrong, lol.

Ive got a few comparisons that are slightly interesting.
03JDM STi, ECUtek map, full exhaust, Coilovers, 3 port, walbro fuel pump.
12.89@105, 1.8 60ft (pod)
Same as above minus circa 100kg of weight.
12.82@106, 1.8 60ft (pod)
Same as above plus 10% E85 megarom map, whitline arbs, links, anti lift kit, camber bolts.
12.55@108, 1.69 60ft!! (pod)
Same as above plus exedy twin plate clucth and flywheel.
12.49@107, 1.79 60ft - Elvington this time, so maybe a tad quicker at Pod.
Same as above + SC46ts, FMIC and ID1000`s
See this summer!

It may have been after a slightly over exhuberant, diff locked, 7k launch on the gripy stuff at the start of the handeling circuit.....
Spoke to a few people now that seem to think diff locked + hard launch with grip = new half shaft. I`ll be sticking to DCCD-A launchs next year, a little sidways of the line, but still netted 1.69 at pod.
