Our 440 Bhp 2.0 litre MY 95 WRX RA held the UK ¼ mile record for over two years running stock internals.

DAMN!

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 !

Must admit you guys are well up to speed with the goings on in the UK, Yes Andy Forrest is notorious with his scoob, Standard i think not, ain't even got proper glass in it being replaced with perspex, Single Ally racing seat, reverse manifold, twisted Turbo, seperate waste gate etc, another guy is Bob Rawl also is noted as one of the top tuners, and Pat "the Map" Herborn From "ScoobyClinic" who carried out all the work on my motor. interesting to see the different directions of Tune between Aus & Uk you guys seem to go more for stroked engines, are most of your engines 2.0 ltr or 2.5ltr becoming popular here is to stroke a 2.2 to 2.3 and produce a good 500 BHP +

Yes mate seen the vid before, one to look out for is the Gobstopper created by Roger Clark Motorsport, think that is running 700bhp + 150 with Nos, somewhere there is a quite a big write up on this on the NASIOC web site.

UKP1 you can't pick up on my accent on here ....but i'm actually from Edinburgh and had 2 of my cars down to Andy for him to work his magic. Nothing too drastic but the drive home was always good!
