yep the new subbies are f*kd,looked at a new one earlier this yr. how dissapointing.

same as the new lancer evo and standard lancer who the f*k designs them!

before they were aggressive with nice straight lines flat pannels and lookd hot as hell!

now ther are all bubbly,too rounded off for me

i quite like the grid concept one above, i think its pretty mean looking actually, if they brought that out in aus i'd get one......

I like the new subies... Then again I liked the Mazda GTR, Escort, and other hatchback rally cars from yesteryear.

Thats 2 of us, though I will admit I didnt like them at first but now they've grown on me.

However performance wise, Top Gear has written them off to the evo

My mate has a Subaru Impreza MY05 and had to get it serviced. When we headed down to the Subaru Repair shop, he encountered a problem and had to leave his car there, since they had no spare rentals etc one of the ladies decided to give us boys a lift home in her new WRX STi Hatch.

While we were driving she mentioned the fact that the MY09 Subaru's will feature a Sedan model that will only come in WRX and Impreza models but the STi model will be retained by the likes of the MY08 Hatch as it currently is the case.

Personally after hearing this and getting excited for Subaru again, after seeing the pictures of it, those thoughts of relief for Subaru went down the toilet.

As for the new EVO X and upcomming XI and 2009 lancers they look great, they are heading in a decent direction, as designers, the flat panel style we are used to is definately dead, just take a look at the new VE's, the GTR, everything is getting rounder etc.

The new sedan WRX looks SHIT!!!!! It's so terrible i dont know anyone who will personally take a liking to it. As for the Impreza model MY09 sedans they don't look so bad...the scoop and front grille on the Rex sedans look awful (for MY09's). I think after seeing the sedans i have grown alot fonder of the Hatches lol. Heres a pic from the Subaru site itself:

    • Could someone post some pictures of the factory Jack , tools, spare tire and how they were in a 1998 ER34 2 door skyline originally?
    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
