Just got back from the Battle of the Imports in VA!!

It was an excellent event with a ton of nice vehicles. We took my wagon out for two test passes on Friday night.

The first pass was a conservative no NOS pass that went 12.75 @ 108.

The next and only other pass I would make that night would be the one to put me in the 11's!!!!

I ran 11.80 @ 115 MISSING FOURTH GEAR!!!!!

This run was made with all of my previous mods (go to www.driversimage.com) with the addition of:

ihivf30
60 shot nitrous
17" wheels w/ drag radials
no air filter ( removed passenger headlight)
no exhaust ( just a down pipe)
prototype clutch masters stage iv clutch w/ flywheel
apex afc
inlet tube
tenzo race seat
100 octane gasolne

still stock:
injectors
pump
rail
computer
internals 100% stock

I am very hapy with this pass and appreciate all of the nice people from the I club who showed up to see my car.

The track officials told me I needed a cage to race any further....so I let a friend drive the car on Saturday with a bit less boost and he ran low 12's all day!!

Once again thanx to all the great people who stopped by to see my car!!

Gregg

11.80 @ 115

P.s. the 11 second pass had a 1.66 60 foot!!!!:)

Congratulations looks like you got the first solid 11 second pass. You not only broke in to the 11's but did it by a pretty good margin.

Larry

Congrats on being the pioneer to go into the 11's. keep setting those records!!!

Hey couple of my friends and I stopped by on Saturday and talked to you about your car when you where in the lane, I was the tall asian guy BTW. Congratulations, 11.8 is very fast considering you had all those stereo stuff in your trunk. I am sure you can break into mid 11s when you strip it all out. Nice talking to you.

still stock:
injectors
pump
rail
computer
:eek:


Great Job!
I would love to see it on video when the next time you guys run it again.

WOW! Great job! Keep representin' with the wagon!

One Word: SICK

Nice job!

Cool, great times ....

Makes me want to reconsider the n20 thing......

:)

yeah, I heard all about the 11 sec wrx after my friends came back from the track on friday. I went to battle on saturday to find it running 12's... kinda disappointed, but now I know why. Congratulations on your ET's. I'm glad you didn't break anything (breaking seemed to be the theme at battle this year :( )

Wow, n2o or not that is dam fast.

Nice job.


Bill

What kind of fuel pressures were you pushing to get enough fuel for that? And why haven't you upgraded that stuff yet? I know it isn't a money issue. :lol:

be careful with that downpipe...it could melt the underside of your car


nice time dude

Great Job, thanks for sharing :)

Nice! That must have been a wild ride! Did you know you broke 11s after the run, or were you suprised when you saw the slip?? Congratulations again for being the first on i-club to break 11s.
Also, your car is using the stock transmission, computer, and injectors, thats just amazing. I would never have guessed that would be possible. the 12.75sec. quarter mile without NOS is not too shabby either. peace!
Paul

great job! Makes me want to get my old car back and start again :)

Keep it up man...definately time to look into redoing your intake systrem so as NOT to go under the intake manifold

adam
Z-1

Thanks guys for all of the good words...

Yes the tranny is 100 % stock also. The clutch did help out tremendously!!

I know it will go low 11's with the current set-up. I went 12.20 at 114.....when I went 11.80 I missed fourth and the mph was only 115 so I know that would have been a 11.40 or so @ 118 or so.

Hopefully, I'll get to run it this weekend after Hot Import Nights!!

I guess with this new record, the quest for breaking into the 10's has begun!!!:devil: Who will be next into the 11's? (Maybe Phil):confused: :D

Gregg,
While I don't agree with your choice to use stock fueling, I have to give ya props for this latest accomplishment. Not a big fan of nitrous, but whatever works...you are the fastest WRX out there now. What about joining us IL crowd down at Byron on July 13? I'm sure everyone would love to see your car in action. Granted there is no money involved, but we will have 7 trophies :D

Do you have any pics posted of your WRX, I would like to see a wagon painted a color other than the factory colors. Congrats on your run that is damn impressive.

Nice job Gregg. :D

Sorry I missed you @ the shop yesterday. I'll get back to you on those parts.

Who else has gone 11's in a Subaru on the I-club?

Anyways good job, and great times! Can't wait for you to post "My wagon goes 10's" :lol:

ethan,
i believe adam bloom was first in the 11's on i-club.

Was this a 12.80000 run - - or was there some digit on the end there when you got the time slip for the hundreth's ? On www.clubdsm.com they wont even post a 1.4 mile claim unless you post the hundreths AND also if its backed up with a time slip if your claiming in the top 10 positions on the list

Anyway - i am not calling BS or anything like that - but I'd like to know if its a high 11.8 or a even one and also would like to see the time slip to keep everyone honest

:devil: waiting for ConeBasher to turn into TrackSmacker :devil:

I thought this was I-club I didn't know it was a dsm website....

Anyways you could ask the 2,000 people that witnessed the run or yeah I guess I could post it......

I got home from the track and went to bed. We drove 15 hours there straight...raced and drove 15 hours back....

Sorry I've been a little busy to scan my time slip....

If you want to give me your fax number I'll be happy to fax it to yah!!

Gregg

11.87 ( to be exact):D :D :D

wrx sport wagons rule the i-club!!
now get some sleep
then wake up and send or post a pic of your s-afc mounted above your rearveiw mirror/

Sorry Chris I'll try to get those in soon!!

We installed another AFC like that and it looks soooooo awesome!!

11.87 ( to be exact):D :D :D Great - thanks for posting the .87 - - - now I have a mark to shoot for when I hit the track !!!! (big diffrence between .87 and a .80 - I learned the hard way those 10ths are hard to claim)

Its a great testament to the WRX that it can drive 15 hours to the track - drive a 11.87 and then drive 15 hours back home - what a great car the WRX is !!!!

Actually, the car was trailered to VA. By the way what was that about SILLY FOOL??

Gregg

11.87 @ 115 ( I guess if I listened to all the know-it-alls on this board my car would be running 9's like that yugo these guys keep talking about)

To all the know-it-alls ( you know who you are)

He who makes it to the finish line first wins.:D :D

damn impressive man!:cool: I hope to hit close to that within a year and a half.:rolleyes:

but congrats on the time. and a wagon no less!

Thanx much Jesse....just pick parts that work well with one another and talk to people that have good set-ups. Listen to people that know what they are talking about from ACTUAL experience with the wrx and your car will be great!!

Gregg

Gregg,

I never got to congratulate you since I just got my cable turned on yesterday (I had moved). Thanks for sending me your 1/4 mile time. I'm floored! Congrats!

I can understand also that you didn't get to repeat your 1/4 mile time at the track for an 'official' verification of your time since you need a rollcage.

Are you getting a rollcage installed? What else is needed besides a rollcage once your get into that 'rollcage' territory? I"m not talking about what's needed for going 10's, 9's, etc, etc, but what else is needed also along with your rollcage?

SWEET NUMBERS GREGG!

Just curious as to what your 1/8 mile time and MPH was. Some people don't have a 1/4 mile track near their house and it would give them a better idea of what they could run in the 1/4 by comparing their 1/8 to yours

Thanks

Greg

Hey Gregg, I, been in your shop a few times to talk with you. Just wanted to know why you picked the vf30 and not the vf34? I know you just put the 30 on but sell it and get a 34.

Thanx Kevin I appreciate it......I probably will NOT put a cage in the car because I'm trying to keep the car a DAILY DRIVER....if I put a cage in it I know the car will end up 100% a race car and I really don't want that...

I will post the time slip soon so everyone can see the whole run..

Codean......I'm not even really happy with the 30 I definitely won't put on the 34....the mid and low range power is nothing compared to the 23. I actually like the 23 better in terms of street driving but I'll keep the 30 because a majority of the time the car will see track duty. Thanx for the advice though...

Last but not least anyone in the Midwest.....my wrx will be at the Hot Import Nights show on Saturday with some new goodies!! Please come by the Driversimage booth and say hello

The difference between the VF34 and VF30 is the ball-bearing center section of the 34. The spoolup time between the two is much different. I would guess it would be very similar to the VF23. One person locally that has had both said it probably spools 500+ rpm faster than the 30.

Thanx dude that info is very useful.....however, since I spent the money already on the 30 I'll stick with that..

Gregg

wickedwrxwagon,

(1) awesome!

(2) it would be great if you could join the TXIC contingent at HIN in Dallas

(3) Autopower now makes a 4-point race roll bar specific to the WRX sedan (plus they have a removable diagonal cross-brace, and a removable shoulder harness bar) ... I'm getting that put in my daily driver WRX soon ... maybe it works with the wagon, too

cheers, GoodFinder :)

First, excellent job on that 11.87 run!
Boy, I wish my car could run like that:D

I thought VF34 was fairly decent in terms of lagging. Does it have that much more lag than VF23? Now you are making me rethink about VF34. Too late though. :rolleyes:
I plan to have your shop install it for me and I'll try to stop by next week to make an appointment if it's alright.
Thanks and congrats once again!:)

Doug

Doug:

To be honest every turbo we have installed has either been a 23 or 30. I have heard the 34 is like the 30 but with much quicker spool up. I really don't like the 30 for the street...the 23 is way better for low and midrange power. The 30 is better for all out drag which my car has basically become. But for the price difference between the 23 and 34...i would get the 23 and some other goodies instead of the $$$$ for the 34.

Every 23 we have installed the customers have all been SUPER happy!!

Good luck with your rex....

Hey Gregg what should I set my boost to running nitrous on a stock turbo?

Yeh, while your faxing timeslips
fax me a copy too!!!!!!!

Gregg,
Congratulations once again. I was the guy in the SWRT shirt that was standing around asking questions as you unveiled the car, and then again when you were putting it back in the trailer Saturday in VA.

Gregg,

Will you happen to be showing up at MIR (Maryland International Raceway) on the weekend of July 13th, 14th? I plan on bracket racing these days at MIR in one of my cars. I'm not fast enough to compete otherwise. :D

Hey, our site (Car and Model) got some pics of u'r car at Chicago HIN like I thought we would..

Those are some the better pics I've seen of that car yet. Man, that thing is YELLOW!

Just curious, did anyone get the rest of the slip on this. I am curious to how the 1/8th mile went.

-Nathan

hey greg,
i was in a small group at hin saturday, with jaygold, it was cool to meet you, and hear some details about your car, and it was nice to finally see this yellow beast in person. i was stunned to hear you say that you were on the stock fuel system, but you've achived some impressive results, so congratulations!

i know your a busy man but it would be sweet if you could show for one of our local meets almost every thursday in schaumburg. I'm sure there are a few guys who'd like to pick your brain on wrx tuning.

and we'd all like to get a good long look at that car!

mark

TURISMO.....As a rule of thumb....for every 10 hp of NOS you are spraying that increases the boost ABOUT 1 pound

So for instance if you have a target boost off the NOS of 17 PSI and you are running a 70 shot Put the boost @ around 10 or 11 and run it

With that set-up you will see boost of about 16 or 17 PSI. If it goes passed that and you get a cel.....remove the negative of the battery for ten seconds and it will reset the ECU.

Try to keep an eye on the boost. With the stock turbo you shouldn't go passed 17.

With an aftermarket turbo such as the 30 ( which Im running) I set the boost at a little less than 1 bar (approx 13-14 psi)

With the 60 shot it makes around 23-24 psi!!!

Gregg

11.87 @ 115

Mark......I'd love to come out to one of those meets where and when??

Kevin.....I will be at the Maryland Battle....not sure yet if Im bringing the wrx or not though...time will tell.

Once again i'll ask "what was the rest of the slip"

Also i think your full of it about the 60shot shooting the boost from 1 bar to 23 to 24psi of n2o. Been there, done that, and it isn't happening

-Nathan

Mark......I'd love to come out to one of those meets where and when??
Gregg - Typically, they're held on Thursdays @ the Borders out in Schaumburg. Since it's the 4th this week, some guys are going up tonight just to hang out.

I'll be up in Evanston this afternoon so I'll stop by the shop. I could take the WRX for the evening up there...just to show it off of course. :lol: :D

Mikes got it somewhat right. We meet kinda between the starbucks and california pizza, its in the same mall so we refer to it as the 'borders' meet.:)

Next thursday, however, we will be meeting elsewhere (Action Audio) check the threads in the Midwest forum.

Mark

You going tonight Mark???

NATHAN......you must be that fat loser that everyone tells me to watch out for that hides behind his monitor and talks bad about EVERYONE. Well anyways, I don't use these forums to belittle people or talk smack so take your ass to another thread. Yes I have the time slip and yes that is exactly where my boost contoller is at. Sorry you couldn't run a good number though or I guess you would have the title " America's Quickest Wrx!" But that's right you don't so take your ass elsewhere and talk smack to someone who ACTUALLY is beneath you.

Hey Greg,

I'm not disagreeing with you because everyone's setup is different. I am just saying that when I sprayed nitrous using a 60 shot, I never 'gained' any psi of boost. Whether spraying nitrous or just using my turbo, turboboost always stayed at 5psi of boost. I've been told that spraying a 60 shot of nitrous with my turbo at 5psi is equivalent to running 10psi or so of just turbo but it didn't actually raise my boost. Every car is different and I just thought this was interesting. If this is what you actually meant, then my apologies.

At any rate, very nice time(s) you have and good luck with your next runs (if you change your mind about getting a roll cage). ;) Take Care!

My Tial wastgate is so responsive the boost just hits the set point and stays there no matter if I hit the NOS or not

if i was still on a vf seies internal wastgate - then I could imajine a boost increase on nos b/c the wastegate may be too small

Gregg - keep up the good work

Nathan - FYI - the vf30 in stock form - has such a small wastegate that I could easily see the boost spiking up to 24 psi

After all on the stock sti engine with vf30 - 24 psi boost spikes are common fare !

Thanx for explaining that to him Al......I guess he doesn't understand the difference between the two wastegates. Maybe we should explain to these guys the difference between a tiny internal wastegate and a huge external wastegate and the different characteristics they play with the NOS.

But remember....he's BEEN THERE DONE THAT....

so I guess we can't teach him ANYTHING!!

Thanx for the kind words AL....you keep it up also.....I learned a lot through reading a lot of your old posts!! Thank you!!

Correction on my part! My correct response should've been that after hitting nitrous off the line that 'sometimes' the boost pressure would jump to 6-6.5psi before quickly returning to it's 5psi setting. Yes, the boost did spike sometimes but it wasn't constant at 6-6.5 or so psi during my whole run. Tiny details is sometimes left out when people are explaining things. I try to make things absolutely clear. My bad! ;)

Al: It’s a bad idea going to a national event like IDRC to test out your new setup. You come on here telling everyone that you are going to hit 11s. But this isnt a track tested setup. With all the money you have put into that car and all the smack we hear from you I would hope you would be in the 11s.

I wish you the best but if there is something you forgot or something unforeseen happens EVERYONE will see it. Save testing for grudge nights and smack talking for the big events.

I wish you the best but if there is something you forgot or something unforeseen happens EVERYONE will see it. Save testing for grudge nights and smack talking for the big events. Well - first off - I was testing already - thats when I was doing my baby 2.0 60' launches and testing the power of this sucker the week before last - (its got plenty of power)

Second - i've been testing the launches over and over again with the NOS - (practice makes perfect)

Third - what better place to break a new record - or just break into the 11's than at a national event with many people there to see it ????

Fourth - who cares if something unforseen happens ??? So what - I'll be back the following week

The guy who was just the first to go around the world in a ballon failed several times before he finally made it - and it took him several years

A true champion never gives up - even after failure - and keeps attacking till he wins

PS - I may fail in my attempt to be the fatest again - but I bet you that I am the fastest WRX by far at the event that weekend

Al: I like your spirit man. I just wish some of you guys in low 12's/high11's could shoot a vid of one of these runs. I'm sure we'd all like to see something like that!

Keep up the good work and keep pushing the envelope guys.

Hey get a video of your runs, it would be nice to see an 11 sec 1/4 vid. Maybe have a paralegal tape you or something. ;)

I'm assuming you are talking about the IDRC Summer Slam event @ Englishtown. I'd love to be there bracket racing for $$$$ but I couldn't take off for work this weekend. :mad: I would've raced both days. It's going to be HOT. Good luck Al! Get a video if you can man.

Here's where I'll be bracket racing at for the rest of the year:

July 13, 14th (Maryland International Raceway, MIR)

July 20, 21st (Atco Raceway)

August 18, (MIR)

August 24, 25th (Atco Raceway)

Sept. 22 (Atco Raceway or MIR)

Nov. 3 (Englishtown)

Nov. 10 (MIR)

Nov. 17 (Atco Raceway)

Any other import events at nearby I can't attend because I couldn't take those days off.

In regards to the NOS issue. About 5 months ago there was a
guy in a wagon out here with a 45 wet shot to the throttle body
and according to him boost would spike alot like 5 psi. I think
he was running about 13psi on stock turbo. with a button for
the nos on his manual stick he was spraying on every gear.
He said it would spike too about 18psi.

He ran 12.7 to 12.9 all night with only a downpipe hooked
on his car nothing else. no other mods so i believe the
spiking issues. just my 02cts later

Why would you not want to leave the turbo setup at 18 to 20 psi (normal) and do the 60 shot and take the 28-30 psi you'll get?

Why turn down the turbo to only turn up the nitrous?

If this is due to fuel or boost cut would it still not be better to run the turbo "normal" and adjust the nitrous around the turbo instead of the opposite?

Donnie....could you give me directions?? Anyone from my area gonna head up that way??

CARLO......good question dude. Here is the answer. If you leave the boost set at your regular level when you hit the NOS it will throw the boost through the roof. You see if you are still using a stock wastegate when you spray the NOS it makes a ton of boost. So if you are running the typical 50 shot it will increase the boost around 5-6 psi. So you will hit fuel cut in this situation. Yes you could just NOT use the NOS and turn up the boost. However, because of the EXTREME coldness of the NOS it acts as a power adder because it burns the fuel quicker AND it acts as an instant intercooling effect on the HOT exhaust gases. So by turning the boost DOWN added with the 50 shot you'll get the same boost level and the intake charge to the turbo WILL BE EXTREMELY colder thus making more power. If you just left the boost at 20 and hit the NOS the car would make a good 24-26 PSI. This is obviously too much for the stock block and stock fuel systme to handle.

Hope this helped out a bit....

11.87 @ 115

"America's Quickest Wrx!!"

If my thinking is correct (might not be) the wastegate on a VF-30 turbo setup is on the turbo itself. This being the case, the wastegate itself only looks after the turbo to make sure it stays in it's efficiency range.

So at the turbo side of things you're still at only 20 psi. Now you add your shot of N2O and you increase you the manifold pressure by another 5 or 6 psi. So now the manifold thinks there is 24-26 psi or so.

At this point you'll hit fuel cut unless your running a Unichip or some other fuel cut defender product. Now assuming you are running some product the bumps the fuel cut limit higher or removes it, what would be the problem running 24-26 psi?

You said "This is obviously too much for the stock block and stock fuel system to handle." in reference to the 24-26 psi. But is it??? Aren't there guys running T3/T4 or other monster turbos without NOS that are probably doing the same or higher boost on stock internals?

Does anyone know the limit to the amount of boost or manifold pressure the WRX can handle on stock internals SAFELY?

BTW, what's up with the "America's Quickest Wrx!!" you've got everywhere? 11.87 isn't that good considering that Phil just ran a 12.01 without NOS. What happens when he or Nathen add a small shot at the track, they'll be in the low 11s or high 10s. Even Al has a chance or taking this down this weekend at E-Town. To each his own, but it just seems a little to arrogant, even for I-Club :)

Carlo

i have ran 26 psi before. Stock motor.

Gregg,
Post your slip please. I would like to see it for reference sake.
Thanks
Chad

What turbo was this on when you ran 26 psi?

forced performance green

I don't get this...

are you saying this guy should stop calling himself America's quickest WRX because someone else MIGHT in the future run in the quickest time?

Thats not racing, my friend.

I'm sure this title will change hands for many years to come.

what i don't get is how this all happened on a stock clutch.....:confused:

When you make a comment like this, it's always good to back it up by saying who IS the fastest WRX in the USA since you obviously know someone faster don't you think? Enlighten us and let us know who it is then...

My .02 cents,

There is always someone faster. It's all about $$. Some folks just don't like to talk about it. Hence, they are not the fastest know person..

Paul G. <--not the fastest, and doesn't know who is. :)

Ps-Sweet Yellow wagon, and great accomplisment.

Fine, I'm the fastest. But you can never see my times. It's true! Just because I don't post it doesn't mean I'm lying! :rolleyes: :lol:

Reminds me of the movie Life when they all step up, "I'm that baby daddy Boss". :lol: "I'm the pappy."

Why would you not want to leave the turbo setup at 18 to 20 psi (normal) and do the 60 shot and take the 28-30 psi you'll get?

Why turn down the turbo to only turn up the nitrous?

If this is due to fuel or boost cut would it still not be better to run the turbo "normal" and adjust the nitrous around the turbo instead of the opposite? Raising the boost from 17 psi to 21 psi will get you only 40 HP - (IF) - your lucky and you have a bigger than stock turbo - on the stock turbo you'll just gets lots of hot air - also all the power gain will come only on top after the turbo is spooling

Spraying the car give you almost instant power - from down low all the way up


I would turn the turbo down from max settings to a moderate level when hitting NOS just to be prudent

trust me you will have plenty of power

But what I'm saying is why not do both (full turbo boost and N2O)? What is the technical reason not to do it?

Carlo

Maybe cause of coming into problems with tearing shlt up? Thats prob the best reason.

It's arrogant to say "quickest wrx in Us?" Give me a break dude I'm just stating fact. I know there will always be someone who will go quicker the next day. I'm sorry if you think it's NOT THAT GOOD becuase someone else went 12.01. It's awesome that he went that fast and I hope he beats MY record soon so I have something to shoot for in the future. By the way do you not know the name of the game?? Drag racing= THE ONE TO THE FINSISH LINE FIRST WINS?? NOS no NOS turbo no turbo HE WHO GETS DOWN THE 1320 FIRST WINS.

In terms of if Im the FASTEST,QUICKEST ,FIRST IN THE 11's, someone will no doubtedly go quicker sooner or later. But for now yes I WAS THE FIRST 01/02 WRX IN THE 11's PERIOD:D :D

Gregg

yes folks the current "QUICKEST WRX IN AMERICA" whether you like it or not (you know who Im speaking to:confused:

PS 1320 = how many feet are in the quarter mile:)

That YOU know of.

CT

ok AZScoobie this is getting a bit gay

shut up with your talk and post your times or timeslip - no one wants to read between the lines on your posts and wonder "ooohh...my, there is a WRX out there that is running 11s that we dont know about...ooohh its giving me wood right now"

god.. thats stupid to say man.. just cause hes the fastest on iclub just means hes the fastest on iclub, THATS IT. You will never know unless every subie is accounted for. Not everyone receives gratification from tellin everyone else how fast their cars are. Some people just take pride in their car and themselves and dont need to share, others do. And that registry doesnt list every subie that has done a quarter mile.

Bottom line...

In the P18 or P20 housing, with anything from a VF30 compressor wheel to a to4e 50 trim there is more than enough surface area in the wastegate port to ensure boost will not spike from just under 1 bar to over 22psi with a 50- 60 or even 75 shot of N2o on the car.

I am waving my BS flag at that, because as i said before I’ve been there and done that. I've also had it on the dyno, the track etc...

The VF30 wastegate is plenty large enough to deal with that, then again, your boost controller may suck, but its not going to spike that high based only on the extra exhaust gas energy that comes from the n2o.

As for your timeslip... congrats, i think this is a great run, but as i've said before i would like to see the 1/8th mile break down.

Personally i think that if your going to claim something here you should be willing to post a slip, or at the very least the details of that slip. I mean how hard is it to type out an 1/8th mile time and mph?

I will grant you that you are claiming the "quickest" slip on the i-club, but frankly if you think that every fast WRX posts on the i-club your delusional.

I personally think you might want to change your window banner to something along the lines of "Quickest custom yellow WRX that happens to post on the I-club" ;)

i fully agree, but he cant be on here hinting that he has a faster WRX - AND- at the same time try to keep it down low. You cant have both. Either state your times here or keep it to yourself that you have a 11 sec WRX.

I'd like to see the details of the slip too, just to have an idea of the run. 1/8th and 60' times...And ASScoobie just sounds jelous. Personally if I were running these times, i'd just post them and let you guys figure it out and not claim fastest in America BUT, if he´s really running it, this forum is called i-Club Forums > i-Club General > Proven Power Bragging > so he can say it and I see no problem with it. Whoever doesn't like it should just run a better time or point someone out who is running a better verifiable time and that's that! Don't like bragging, don't go to the bragging forum I guess. :p

so...tell me...

who drives the fastest fwd drag Honda in the country?

no really..do tell me....

is it Papadakis? or someone else?

by some of the stupid reasoning on here, you would say that he doesnt, only because not all of the Hondas in the country have been accounted for.

its funny how ignorance can try to shield flawed reasoning.

Damn, half of the people here can't even come close to this car! Why are all of you doubting his times? He will post it, he said, let him do it. If he is lying, it will be evident, if he isn't, LET HIM BRAG!!!!!

my .02 :alien:

"by some of the stupid reasoning on here, you would say that he doesnt, only because not all of the Hondas in the country have been accounted for.

Actually its not ignorance, its being open minded that not everyone that has a fast car has to tell every godamn person in the world about it. Maybe he has the fastest, maybe not, but dont be an idiot and say your the fastest in the USA if you dont know.. You just know your the fastest based on other members of I-Club, and perhaps the 1/4 mile track records youve seen where you race. Just say what your car is, not what it isnt. Just like im not gonna say I drive an STi when its a USDM WRX with some friggen stickers and perhaps a shortthrow shifter and engine/tranny mounts. Because that isnt an STi, its a modified WRX with SOME STi components.

smskier....

i know what you are saying...but....there is life outside of this board.

lets see who is claiming this record. is it some random kid that posts on random boards, or is it an accomplished racer?

lets see.....if you go to his site, he also owns a shop. above the wrx, he also campaigns one of the fastest civics in the country. umm, once again, this isnt some kid with a wrx....

if you look on the flyer for Battle of the Imports, he and his car are on there....now, im sure that a reputable import racing series like that wouldnt just put any yahoo on their flyer, right?

i mean, tell me...what is the true test of who is the fastest? is/was jordan the greatest ever? by your reasoning, not necessarily, b/c everyone in the world wasnt accounted for....right? dont think so....

answer my question about papadakis. are you then telling me that he is the fastest only within the circle that we know and that RIGHT NOW, he isnt the fastest fwd drag honda in the country? if this is the case, i want you to offer me a solution as to how someone would be able to claim such a title.

wickedwrxwagon made his time at Battle in Virginia, I believe....and im sure that it was confirmed by the track officials over there. its pretty gutsy for someone to claim that he ran such a time at a national event and lie about it, especially when this someone's livelihood and profession is racing cars.

but you believe what you want...i know what i do....

Lighten up guys. We all post here for fun and I'm sure if Wicked hears of someone who's faster he'll acknowledge it, and no one has any reason to doubt his veracity.

That said, I'm trying to figure out if I'm "the fastest automatic WRX that posts on the I-Club" or, since the auto-WRX has only been released in the U.S (IIRC) and presuming there are no other faster auto-WRX's, does that make me "Fastest automatic WRX in the World!"? :D

Of course, I can claim that title only until Jorge runs this weekend. But it'll be fun while it lasts. :rolleyes: :)

Have fun, Padre

Yo' if you're claiming the title - you should post your results with it too!

yes i understand, and perhaps then we should strive for a more complete record of 1/4 mile times. i know that we have the 1/4 mile registry, but if we could get the tracks themselves to post what has been done it would give a more complete record. And yeah if you havent actually raced it, then no, you wouldnt have the fastest because there is no timeslip. so uhh.. there you have it

Yo, you talking to me? :confused: :) If so, here's my time slip (http://forums.i-club.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=210772) . If not, I agree, Wicked should post his time slip. I have no reason to doubt him, but a time slip should put an end to a lot of this senseless bickering.

I don't even need a slip...although that would be nice. It would just be great to get the 1/8th mile times and MPH. It's not THAT hard to type it out.

In any case the "Kid" your responding to happens to have what i consider to be the quickest and fastest WRX on the I-club. If i could just get chad to run it thought the 1/4 mile and not the 1/8th mile track by his house. His 1/8th mile times and mph are far better than any we've seen so far.

-Nathan

I'm not sure he really needs to post a timeslip, if you read the posts at the beginning of this thread there were other people actually at the track. It wasn't a small import event or this guy at a test&tune.... There were plenty of witnesses around.

and when he runs the 1/4 and posts a verified time, faster than Gregg, he can go ahead and sign his posts as the quickest and fastest.

easy as pie. :)

this forum should be renamed to 'Losers Ahoy! - for people who think they are the fastest on the planet'

I don't think anybody is seriously doubting the authenticity of this run, which by the way is very impressive - congrats! I think Nathan is just asking to see the slip and specifically the 1/8th mile data for informative purposes. Share the knowledge.

WOW....I can't believe this is where this thread has gone. I really thought I-club was a different "Type" of forum board. I originally posted to let people know what my car ran so I could share the info of what the car has so OTHER I-club members could use this knowledge to make their wrx run well also. Obviously, I was incorrect in my findings and really think the MINORITY of the members have interesting things to say, post, and discuss.

Yes, I have the stupid timeslip in my hand.

Yes, thousands of people @ Virginia Raceway witnessed the run.

I DON'T EVEN HAVE ANYTHING TO SCAN THE SLIP WITH.

Sorry my life doesn't revolve around scanning my slip at 3 in the am when I get back from a 16 hour road trip.

No, I haven't had time in the last couple weeks to put the slip on my website (www.driversimage.com)

For the last two weeks since the ( earth shattering) 11.87 run I have been working on and testing my 98 Civic (which for the record tonight went 10.03 @ 142.....want to see the slip!!!) Yes that's right I work usually form 11am-12 or 1am every night.

So when I get home at say 1:30am like tonight I have been at work for 13-15 hours straight......I love coming home to a bunch of babies....

where's the slip?.... ............................................in my hand
BS he couldnt run that........................................sorry I did
The nos couldn't increase the boost like that......it did
He's arrogant claiming "America's Quickest WRX?"..sorry r u quicker....if so awesome

Anyways, because of all of the idiots HIDING behind their computers shouting out the most immature comments this will be my LAST POST ON I-CLUB.

Yes, now you will have to go to someone else's post and bicker at them for their "SLIP" and tell them they are lyers.....

For all of you awesome people that I have met just e mail me directly or through www.driversimage.com.

Ciao,

If that "Good Luck" was an honest one.....thank you I am running @ battle of the imports this weekend....

I'll give you an honest good luck. Breaking the 9 second barrier is awesome. Might only be .04 of a second, but I know what it meant to me. I got stuck at 10.01 on my sled. Finaly ran 9.89@130 and floated around for a few days. I was psyched. Single digits are deffinatly where its at.

Congrats on the 10.0@142 :eek: either way, thats awesome :)

Al,
I just read your post about this. Originally, I had planned on doing this. The problem is that everyone doesn't have a scanner or access to a scanner. I even fell into this area at one time. You are right that people can be posting bogus times but I'm just going by their word for it. People can question the validity of their time by emailing them. Even with timeslips, people can send me other people's timeslip from another car or from a site somewhere. It's really hard to monitor. I just take people's word for it. A timeslip does make the run more believable though.

Good luck Gregg!

I totally have sided with wickedwrxwagon on this thread since most ppl's stupid comments have been unfair and smelling of jelousy but nmyeti has a point. I've also been dying to see the breakdown details of this run. Not because I don't believe it because I do (no one would say they did at a national event knowing many ppl could say they were there and it's BS) but because I just want to see how a WRX goes about running a time like this. 60', 1/8th mile, etc. I don't need a slip, just type the info like many have done instead of typing a novel here and defending yourself against every jelous idiot. It's not worth it anyway!

As a drag racer you should know better. Many people dont post times... Kinda like how you wont post your 1/8th mile trap and ET when the slip is "in your hand". :lol:

Yup... I don't doubt you Gregg, I'm sure Nathan doesn't, and except for a couple of trolls that decided to pull the tone of this thread down, I don't think anyone really does.

You took at least 10 minutes to type out the rant. It would have taken 1 to type out the timeslip.


so I could share the info of what the car has so OTHER I-club members could use this knowledge to make their wrx run well also


..so it should be no big deal that people are genuinely and honestly eager to see the specifics of this awesome run. It almost seems like you are trying to make a point of not providing the 1/8th mile info.

Have a good one, a great luck with the Battle Of The Imports.

-Pace

Thats a fast car. Is it consistently reliable?

I love the i-club . . . .!!!!!!!

I say post it - or don't post it ! its not a big deal - - It won;t be long till there are much faster slips - - BUT I predict he will be the fastest wagon for quite a while

Mr. Boldman....my car is 100% reliable and until just recently it was totally a daily driver. I haven't had so much as a check engine light since I have had the car. 99% of the time the car gets driven to the track and back.

Al... if you would like to send me a scanner I'd be happy to post it. By the way it will be not only the fastest wagon but let me just tell you I have since run my car and BLEW away my previous 11.80 pass.....

However, unless your little WRX is lined up next to my wagon you'll never know.

I think that people are just asking you to type in the whole time sheet. It would only take a couple of minutes to type it out. Surely it would take less time to do this then have to justify your time.

Just type it out. If people then complain it's not scanned just say f*** it. People like to compare times and whatnot and it's hard to do without the info from the whole slip.

It's obvious he's not going to write it out for us guys who just really were interested in seeing the 60' and 1/8th mile time. Don't know why though. He's written enough for a novel but refuses to give us a breakdown for some reason. :(

Maybe because of Evo's 7.66 ;)

Well it was nice knowing wckdwrxyou. Good luck. Too bad u have no timeslip posted. U shall be missed

Greg if you come to the meet tonight at Action Audio I'm sure there are a couple of digital camera carrying geeks (like myself) that could take a picture of the slip for you. :)

Nice sixty Gregg and a smokin 1/8th mile. I thought it was 115mph as per your first post on this thread? or is 115 the top MPH the car has run?

Nice run!


CT

Wow, I'd hate to bracket race against you. Missed a perfect pro tree reaction time by a whole .007 seconds.

Thanks for the mid strip times, that will help folks figure out where they stand for sub 12 times.

Hope you bust a low 11. xx or even crack the 10's soon. It looks like the next few weeks will be very interesting for everyone.

Larry :cool:

The car as gone fast as 115....

Thanx for the compliments...

Remember that pass I missed 4'th that's why the MPH is so low

Gregg

This weekend I will be running the car and should put in well in the 11's.

Good luck, Gregg. See if someone can get a video. I would love to see that thing launch. :eek: :cool:

Padre

Thanx Padre...yeah seeing a 3000 lb wagon pull a 1.6 60 foot is pretty impressive!!

Gregg

Combining your best ET with your best MPH and saying (also plastering it on your car) that is what you ran is pretty lame.

None the less, nice #'s. :)

Thanks for finally posting this, although simply typing the 1/8th times would have been ok for me...

-Nathan

My Goodness... That car's 1/8 mile mph is what my car traps in the 1/4! :eek: :D

hey gregg i met u today in battleof the imports, love the car, i was surprised at the low 12s with no nos, has a couple in the 13s but still amazing, might try and come up and see u again tomorrow, i wanna witness somethin special

Bryan

I feel I should mention that Byron (from www.b-specusa.com ) was forced to install a roll-cage in his EJ22 '93 heavily modded Impreza (500+ hp) like almost 2 years ago or so... (IE he was in the 11's)

And its also one of the best looking imprezas on the planet :D (custom made fender flares... *droooool*)

Gregg,

Couldn't make it out yesterday (Saturday) to the Battle of the Imports cause I was up pretty late Friday. Got up early today (Sunday 5:20a.m.) for my 2 hour journey to M.I.R and what do you know.....it's raining. And it'll be raining all day off and on. *sigh* :( Was looking forward to seeing your car run (And making some $$$$ bracket racing too :D ). L8Rs

Yes. Byron is one of the guys that the "I-club" fastest fail to mention. I saw him run at Carlsbad raceway one and half years ago getting kicked off the track. His car put down 500 to the wheels. He rarely ever posts on this forum. Nice guy.. And watching that Impreza do AWD burn outs sitting in the water box and make those noises caused me to sell my current project car (audi) and get the WRX. Everyone is still playing catch up including me.

CT

all i can say byron and vickey are great peope and yes byrons subby is just crazy!

that's awesome, I know your on the east coast but, if you get a wild ambition to come to California, Easy Street Motorsports will be giving away $1000.00 for the fastest Subaru at "Battle of the Imports" August 10 in Bakersfield California. Check out the thread in the "General Community" or Souther Californa forums

But that's an awesome time.

www.easystreetmotorsports.com Fastest Subaru or fastest WRX subaru - are there any rules??? I am almost tempted to get my car out there to pocket the $1,000

Any Subaru can enter as long as it is powered by Subaru. However we are going to possibly have a prize for the Fastest WRX depending on the turnout. We were origianlly going to make it a WRX only event but due to the overwhelming response we decided to make it a "All Subaru" event.
Rules are simple
Subaru vehicle
Subaru Powered
that's it.

how much whp is the car runnin?

Bryan

WAGONS ROCK! That means there's hope for my white wagon when i get it...HA HA HA. All you need now is a sick system hitting like crazy while you run 11's!!!

XS NOIZ TO THE RESCUE!

I have never taken my car to the dyno but if I were to GUESS I would say approx. 300 to the wheels no NOS 370 or so with??

Kevin it was nice talking to you in Maryland.....yeah it sux that it rained on sunday but we did get some excellent no NOS passes in on sat...

My car is well into the 12's with no NOS and I was only running my street tires and getting 1.8 60foots at best...that track SUX!!!

Anyways I'm gettin my Wagon ready for this sunday (small local race at Great lakes)

I will also be bringing another wagon I built for a customer that I KNOW will go in the low 12's if not 11's also!!

Gregg

So and So ran that at Carlbad, huh? At least he could have run it on a track that wasn't downhill...:lol:

Wickedfast: The faster you go, the better you'll have to get at blowing the haters off. Some i-clubbers are lacking in people skills. Thanks for the info....I for one, do not want to see you go away.

That's a really long drive for you Al. You would get to see the beautiful metropolis of Bakersfield though. One of California's bright spots and a major tourist attraction (gets the second most visitors after the Golden Gate Bridge).

For all the doubters... :lol:

Gregg,

Ya gonna show at Hot Import Nights in Dallas?

We're thinking we may have something like 20 Subarus showing!

Back to topic, pretty cool looking timeslip, indeed.

Cheers,

GoodFinder :)

Thanx for the support Mike.....you could pretty much throw that slip out because the car is EXTREMELY quicker now and I will prove that this sunday at Great Lakes!!

tom r

Yeah Tom.....got a GSXR600....its wicked

Talk to yah soon

Gregg

Hey wickedwrx, I was wondering how you tuned the s-afc at that level of power. How has the fuel pump handled this increased duty? Thanks for any input, and good work

-jedrex

With the afc we took 10% of fuel out between 5,000 and 8,000 rpms. The helps lean out the rich mixture a bit. I have also added a fuel pump but still have stock injectors!!
