Not a Evo Story but wanted to share it with you guys

Its been a long road to reach the 10's with my beloved '05 STI. I have been looking forward to this for a long time and it certainly did not come easy this time, but having been a tough challenge it feels all the better. The best part is driving around today in my 10 second street Subaru.

This year I have broke the half shafts 5 times without moving more than 2 feet at the line, those who follow my You Tube Dyno Flash channel will recall all the visits to the track that ended with broken half shafts

Thanks to the Drive Shaft Shop I upgraded to the Level 5 system which also broke

Since I feel the stock STI suspension is perfect as is and handles great, I had to use tire pressure adjustments to work my way around the rear wheel hop issues which were breaking the shafts. In the future, I may consider a KW coil over set up but for now, I was trying to "get er done" with the stock parts.

After some experimentation and a few easy launches, last night I was able to make some full passes down the track with a best MPH of 133 and a best et of 10.9 all with full weight stock suspension pump gas with Aquamist meth injection

Sadly, as expected they threw me off the track so I could not try to improve on the 10.9 time



I think there is significant room for improvement on that time with some improvement in the 60' time

Many of my tuning customers have been out for test drives in my car over the past year and this engine I built has proven rock solid 100% reliable, at the track I used the same pump gas hydra 2.6 tune up that I drive every day I did not even take out the lap top to adjust or data log the tune up is right on the money as is - only issue was launching without wheel hop

Thanks to all my customers, fellow tuners and especially ICS Performance for your support and assitance

 

Congrats! you really deserve it

 

Nice work. I probably should have bought stock in an STi half-shaft company. I'd be rich now!

Everyone is breaking those things above 500whp these days.

 

That's a very impressive Subaru Al. Congrats on hitting your goals with it!! Very nice. Has to be one of the quickest/fasteset pump gas Subi's anywhere.

Shoot me a PM with the other video from the streets of Texas, I couldn't find them.

Great job.

 

Congrats Al! Glad to see you got her into the 10's. I too just got my stock ECU car into the 10's.

 

Congrats Al! Glad to see your perserverance paid off!
