Not my cup of JD on the rocks at all!

You can see though that the market for the cars is 100% Euro hatch. I think they've gone the "let's design it for the Euro market, and if it sells anywhere else, BONUS!"

I think it's they're way of trying to up sales, and targeting the hot hatch of Europe has proven a gold mine for most car makers. Subura have so far been more of a "niche" brand, and never really mass sales like Toyota, Ford, GM, Nissan etc.

As far as the STI goes though, I can picture half of Englands hoodlums tearing up the streets in them.

For some reason i get flashbacks of the Ali G movie and the hatcgbacks in that :-)

Unfort you die with the looks you are born with and in my eye the wrx has always suffered in this dept....this new offering is no different.

I think what a lot of you are missing is the fact that it wasn't only designed for the european market or any market for that matter. The current wrx is getting killed in the wrc due to the fact that a smaller hatchback body is more suited to rally and so if subaru want to get back to its winning form they had to change their design.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
