Throughout 2004 the Subaru record was held by our 556bhp STI 5 Type R at 10.52 seconds to 136 mph.
![]() The Type R was the UK’s fastest Subaru at TOTB3 in 2004.Coming third overall on the performance scoreboard Scoobyshootout on the 22nd May 2005 seen our Type R take the fastest Subaru of the day title. On the 10th July at crail, this car set a new UK record of 10.2 second 1/4m and on the 17th july at Melbourne York, moved the goalposts a step further running 10.11 seconds. A new world record for a manual gearbox Subaru was set at Crail on Aug 17th at with the Sti5 running 9.81 @ 147.5 mph. Driven to and from the event, running on Optimax plus booster (no race fuel here !) This run was backed up by a 9.82 second run at Santa pod on the 3rd Sept 05 On the 19th Sept the car clocked a top speed of 199.4 MPH at Bruntingthorpe proving ground. The car was driven 300 miles to the event and drove home again. A new world record was set on the 2nd of October 05.......... 210.2 MPH timed by Straightliners at Elvington airfield. As far as we are aware this is the highest recorded top speed for an Impreza ANYWHERE ! For the 06 season the engine bay came in for some attention ![]() God of the Pod" at Santa Pod raceway on the 14th May 06 was won by our Type R in it's latest lightweight trim, in the process a new PB was set at 9.77@150.5 mph ![]() Scooby shootout at Elvington on the 21st May 06 saw the record drop again with a 9.45@148mph on a damp track ! We believe this makes it the fastest accelerating 4cyl /4wd car in Europe. At the Scooby shootout finals at Elvington on the 2nd of July we further reduced the times.. 9.39@154 mph, still no nitrous due to a faulty solenoid valve. The actual shootout final was run in the rain and on a set of std goodyear road tyres we still run a time of 10.2@156mph ![]() At a Santa Pod test day on the 14th July the bar was moved higher again with a run at 9.30@159.86 TOTB 5 on the 30th July was host to the fastest road legal cars in the country. Our Sti 5 came 3rd overall in the multi discipline event. We also set the fastest 1/4 mile time of all the road legal cars taking 9.51 seconds to achieve a stunning 169mph ! At York Raceway on Sunday 27th Aug 06 A new European record for 4WD cars was set. 9.196 at 158.55 mph Every run on the day was in the 9 second bracket. Elvington dragstrip on 10 Sept saw us run very consistantly once again with 4 runs recording over 163mph terminal speed and 6x low 9 second runs back to back. Just missing a new PB with a best run of 9.25 during which a boost hose burst and the run was aborted early ! |
