Hey all

Well were do i start, My step mum just picked up the new WRX hatch the other day and let me take it for a bit if a hoon :(

ok im comparing this to my relitivly stock r33 gtst ,

ok , first thing that blew me away was the handeling, i was obsolutely amazed at how the car just kept track, i couldnt do the same menouvers in the 33, i was actually tring to get this thing to show a bit of slide but i couldnt get its ass to budge, suspension was nice, my 33 feels every little dent, bump in the road , i approached a speed hump and slowed down to about 20 ks, my dad told me to "hit it" so i took the hump at about 40-50 and didnt lift off my seat,

then there is the turbo :(

compared to my car which really starts to pull at about 4-6000 rpm the wrx was pulling from 2.5-5, after 5gs it really started to shit itself and didnt move much after that,

all in all i was pleased with the performance side of the car and its handelling , the car would out run mine off the line but give me a big straight and thats another story

wouldnt mind those liberty STI's.. that will be a sleeper for sure..

Back to the topic.. how is the interior compared to the skyline?? the dash n all??

ahaha funny you mention the iberty seeing that my dad bought his last year lol not the sti version unfortunatly lol still the 2 L turbo kicks ass, such a sleeper of a car

the interior is very plain the sound system is pathetic, might as well go buy a $50 system from supercheap (honestly) only got 4 speakers and all trebble lol, the dash is nice with the RPM's metre dead in front of you, the k's on a smaller dial just to the left

I agree with the newbie above :laugh: get a turbotech boost controller the reason why it feels like it really kicks in up high is the factory dual stage boost controller

newbie?

you dont need any form of boost controller to make it 7psi straight away rather than 5/7

Huh? Not a liberty RS or something??? If its the B4 dude, that is a rather high end stereo. I do hope your talking about an RS.

That kit on the WRX doesn't look to bad, bit over the top, wouldn't mind it a bit less in your face but similar style...

I like the fact that it gets rid of the nose, I think the car looks tougher with just that pug nose gone

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
