Yeah the new WRX looks terrible. But I still say the new STi has potential.

If the STI looked like that pic put me down for one BUT i think it will look more like the

stupid smiling grill thing like the Ring pic posted earlier.

Going by the pics the EVO wins hands down

Looks like i'm keeping the classic forever :thumbsup:

On the earlier STI i have seen either foggies or the covers but then i think it became a STI thing to just have the covers plus its another spot to put some STI stickers.

BTW its Gaz not Alycia ireally should get my own membership :thumbsup:

I saw it in Japan in january. Took these snaps below. It looks pretty cool. A little to 'new-age' and 'edgey' for me. but hey, they have always been a bit of a homo's car....

hmmmm honestly i doubt that will be the production STi... its waaaay too different from the actual WRX which means thats obviously the WRC car.

much like the WRC version of the ugliest ever, the bugeye, it actually looks half decent.

yeah, I think the pics I took were of the concept version. production version probably is toned down a bit and has an uglier girl standing next to it. or even worse, no girl at all. :P

That pic has being doing the round on the internerd for the last few years. There is no way in hell that Suabru will produce somthing even close to that very bad photochop.

Subaru have recently made a deal with Daewoo and Hyundai. Suabru will be borrowing the ugly stick from those 2 companys and using it on all of there new cars.... Here's just a peak at what Subaru have been making recently...

There's alot of subaru people hoping then new STi will be better looking than the newly released WRX, but really it's hard to make chicken salad out of chicken shit.

Oh and the new WRX.... with a Mazda3 over the top....

I think the X looks great and will be very keen to have a go when they come out.

But have been thinking I'd like to take a look at something a bit different...

3.0L

6-cyl

twin turbo

RWD

and German

The BMW 135i Coupe - http://www.rsportscars.com/eng/cars/bmw_135i.asp

Something about them is pretty cool - I always loved 2002s, and this looks like a grown up version.

BUT... we'll see. Evo X still top of the list for mine, and we'll have the E90 M3 at work soon - so I can always play with that :stupid:

my old man restored a 2002 tii.. then sold it :stupid:

it was red with a creme leather interior. SO nice....

I was going to wait and buy a X...but local dealer could not comment on whether available in auto. So armed with cash from selling my R34 GTR...i was purchased a V35 which i soon to convert with GTR motor and AWD using V35 gearbox. Looks and performance of latest Nismo Nissan with comfort and performance of auto. Much better then Mitsubishi.

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
