As far as I know they only offered 2 models of impreza for the Mk1 and facelift in the UK, a normally aspirated gutless affair, and the turbo which first had 208bhp, then in '97 got 215bhp. I never heard of a uk impreza with 175bhp. my figures are for the 208 bhp and are right as tested by autocar. Are you talking about an import?

Also, you seem to have little faith in your abilities to time your car with a reasonable (to less than half a second) degree of accuracy. We timed my friend's car several times with a stopwatch on our accurately measured quarter mile, and found it to be right within a tenth of a second when he did an rwyb at santa pod.

Perhaps the vegetable oil adds a bit of power...

Re: JTD105 Performance testing 0-60 0-100

Hi there was just wondering about the veg oil mix,do you have to add anything extra to the engine to cope like a heating coil?or can you just mix diesel and veg oil and put it in the tank together and use strait like that?I have the stilo 115 jtd.would you also recommend a diesel tuning box?thanks

And to the previous chap: It hasn't knocked 5 seconds off, you 'narna, it did 0-60 in 11 dead as standard, and it sure doesn't do it in 6 secs now, I'd need 190bhp ish. Shaved off about 2 secs. And a standard Mk1 impreza turbo hit 60 in 5.3, and 100 in just over 14, and had great traction, so how on earth did your marea stay with one?

I have a quarter mile marked on a remote straight stretch of road about 12 miles south of leicester, you get the starter with the stopwatch on the finish line on the phone, he counts you down and stops when you get to him. Give you a good idea, I'll go and test it, expecting around mid to late 16 second run.
