My Review Of The New Wrx


Recommended Posts

everyone on THIS forum should know that aye ?

his comparing something new with his own ride?

if you get in someone elses ride, go for a blat, its kinda natural you flick up your own stick and take measure eh ?

It's a shame there an absolutely horrible looking car. I would rather not be caught driving a car that looks like an Alfa. But the Libertys however... are nice looking cars

hes just comparing to to his 33 to give ppl an idea of the differences, most ppl know what a 33 is like for the most part.

nothing wrong with that.

we have an sti lib in our house, its mums, great car, but its boaring as bat shit to drive, absolutly no driver involvement, and you have to fang the ass out of it just to have fun, has lots of grip and is very consistant, but much prefer driving my r32 it feels alive, stis get the mcintosh soundsystem, quite nice!

IMO The new wrx's are fantastic, only down side is theyre damn expensive for parts atm because theyre so new! My dads mate ran into a bird and stuffed his light on his STi, $2200 for a new one!!!

hmmm the 06 is one ugly mofo, wonder if the 06 still has a piss weak gb,

the 2.5L would be helpful for hte daily, mod the thing a little and replace the nose with a bit of kit an get a park bench rally wing, fun.

anyone know if the 06 sti has forged internals or if it went the way of the yank 2.5 and is cast.

aparently the 02-05 sti's were all forged internals so a exhuast mod and a cooler and your pumping max octance boost..... food for thought

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
