Subaru Impreza WR1
- Thread starter Scutch
- Start date
RS6+ & 40d MSport X5
yeah mate its the classic shape (facelift)99+!!
320bhp standard, 0-60mph in 4.25s, 0-100mph in 10.7s
W reg... that would be classic shape iirc? (cant recall if the bugeye came in at W or Y).
That'll certainly shift, anyway!
The P1 was around 350bhp, with the standard VF28 turbo. It gave you a right kick up the arse when the boost came on.
The WR1 uses the VF35 turbo, which is stronger, more capable and reliable, and is more progressive with the power surge. So you dont quite get the same kick as the P1, but its going the same speed. Saying that, I put my foot down on a straight just coming off a bend last Monday evening in 2nd gear and it completely caught me out! Grip FTW! lol
the power is phenomenal.. 118k miles tho lol
Fussy? fussy? LMAO and a widebodied clio is not?
Love the wr1 probably the best UK new age car after the RB320

13k on this one. I believe an STi with PPP is 305bhp, so this one has been tweaked a bit further. Could be the sports cat its packing.

SEX i absolutely love them, me being a chump raced one in my corsa and he totally oblitterated me wahaha from then on i loved them!
22B, P1, RB5, WR1, RB320 are the only imprezzas id own!
Also when i was in the stuart taylor had a play with a stickered up 22B, it wasnt standard by far and my god it did it squat or what when he booted it i was gobsmacked at how fast that thing was!

The original HT Auto's splitter which is currently on the car is FAR too flimsy and brittle. Already cracked the mofo on the low kerb outside the house. Not noticeable to the untrained eye, but to me it IS.
So ordered a new, uprated one made from much tougher black plastic and not fibreglass.
Along with this and a set of new Brembo drilled front discs and DS2500 pads, that takes my spending to around £10184732932 in 2 weeks.
F*cking cars!
Still, the car looks absolutely mint now. I have the full Hayward and Scott exhaust fitted with angled exit much like the P1 was, K&N Typhoon with heat shield which is making use of the clever original air feed and my W121 EVL number plates are now on the car too!
Car was popping and sounded cool when I followed Gem home in it earlier in her 172 with baby.
Chuffed but officially skint

Took the WR1 to Port Seton yesterday and to the legend that is Andy Forrest to tie in my decat exhaust system and induction kit.
Things started off a bit odd near to home. I braked at a junction and the car decided it wouldnt bother with the stopping and just continue on. I got a nice crunching sound through the brake pedal so I figured my brakes were well and truly knackered. Ultimately, it turned out to be black ice, but it was a scary few moments! Then, in the nearby petrol station, still reeling from the brake incident, I stalled the car trying to turn to face the pumps. This let off an almighty pop from the exhaust, almost giving an elderly bloke a heart attack as he jumped to see what he thought must have been a World War 2 cannon going off. Ooops
Anyway, was a nice trip up to Scotland from sunny Cumbria. The closer we got to Port Seton, the foggier it got. If you stole a bucket of fog would it be mist? Hmm...
Dropped car off with Andy at 1pm, explained the mods to him and what I'd like from the car. Told him about the brakes being shoddy and the splitter was slightly cracked. Tip top.
The girlfriend and I then went to Gyle shopping centre, to put the time in. The 'time' being 1 and half hours on a bus. That sorted that problem out.
Got back to Andy's gaff and he said the car was spot on. He was a little unhappy that he couldnt bring the boost in earlier through the rev range, but this was due to the K&N short ram induction kit I was running. He tried a few times, but the K&N was a sort of anti-surge mechanism! What this did was improved the mid-range considerably, though.
He recommended either an APS wing induction or the standard airbox, which may not see an increase in power, but would allow the torque to come in a lot sooner. Its better than standard, now, as it is, anyway. But just incase I fancy going back to him.
Got a graph with power and torque, it was around 345bhp and 325lbs torque. This was on Supreme 97RON fuel, too, and Andy said regardless of the induction kit, it was pulling very impressive figures. Should be over 350bhp on 99RON fuel! Fantastic for the simple mods.
Had a quick look around his world record holding Type R Scooby, looking well with its flared arches and drag style tyres. It was up on the lift, so was obviously getting some more work done.
Car was great on the way home. Sounds amazing on acceleration and who needs a dump valve with the noises of the induction kit?! It pulled like a train even in 6th gear and feels so much more responsive in low gears accelerating
It wasnt all good, though. I lost the drivers side of my front splitter on the motorway. It lasted longer than I thought it would, to be honest, after cracking the mofo on the second day I got the car! Thankfully the tougher one should arrive today or tomorrow, along with my Brembo discs. Will be fitted Saturday.
Overall a great day! Well chuffed with the car and obviously Andy's mapping and expertise. Its no wonder he's got the reputation he has
