edmundu Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Bosco, It was done from a 75mph roll...and I didn't datalog the run, however, I would guesstimate it to have taken 37-38 seconds, of pure WOT fun:icon_mrgr ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2005garnetGT Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 on your private test track, right? can I use this track sometime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codean Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Yep, those are the important questions. I don't know if anyone's looked closely into the new spec-bs to answer them though. It's an R160.... I checked. The hard part is finding 4.11 gears with out costing an arm and a leg. About changing an auto to 6 speed... it costs way too much. I have a friend that did it in his wrx.

mattg Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I get that limit from not wishing to exceed 7250 rpm's in 5th. BTW that is on the conservative side, as I have 225/45/17's, which are just a shade taller, effectively giving me about 1% more gearing. I didn't factor that in, so I could possibly wind up at 175.xx mph. My car has already bumped hard against my old rev limiter setting of 7100 rpm's. That also was on the sr40 turbo, which is a fair amount weaker than my current AVO450. This turbo pulls hard up til 7300 rpm's. I have no doubts that this combo can eat the other one up on the topend! Now, those ECTA speeds are achieved within 1 mile, right? I needed a little more than that to attain the 171mph I already did. For a standing start mile, I feel about 160mph is all it is likely to have... http://photos.imageevent.com/mattg/smiliesavatars/cooleek.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmfspecb Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Don't know about all the other details, but I learned that a STI short throw with a couple of small modifications will fit the 07 Legacy spec. B. I just got it installed today on mine and it works very nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
