Hey all

My mate has just brought a MY03 auto WRX. I have been thinking about buying a R33 for a while now. Will a stock R33 be quicker or will he whoop my ass? It is pretty quick but as rivalry goes I want to be quicker. (Can't have your mate win)

Could someone help with this info! His car is stock except for a cat back 3" man bent.

Thanks

Man you're gonna get flamed. This topic has been done to death....try a little search, heaps of info on WRX vs R33. I'll give you the run down.

WRX Maunal and GTST R33 Manual are very even cars, rexies win on launch (AWD) while the 33s have better top end. AUTO wrx probably slower.......

Mod for Mod....most guys on this forum reckon the R33s own it.

Again...try a search for further info.

168kw - 1390kg - 8.27 W to P -> WRX (info from drive.com.au)

187kw - 1390kg - 7.43 W to P -> R33 GTSt (info from envyimports.com.au)

(W to P Smaller being better for those who could work that out)

There is some research for ya.

Argue all you want about how irrelevany power to weight is, but I'd prefer 210RWKW than 100RWKW's any day and I think you all agree, its not that bad of a judge and its more accurate than here say.

GTSt will not only win, but you probably won't get a stock one anyway, so it will be quicker than stock. Also WRX turbos are amazingly small, so he has got to replace that pretty quick if he is shooting for power.

Nice useless comment their pentae

Thats like the pot calling the Kettle black isnt is krzysiu?

A WRX is nothing more than a turbocharged shopping trolley with 4 doors, a crappy subaru 'box and Mum-friendly handling characteristics.

What part am I missing mate? I am yet to be impressed by a Subaru that has the usual suspect mods: Exhaust, Boost, FMIC..

Would you trust your car with your Mum in the wet? What about a WRX with the same power?

If you're going to be that way:

A Skyline GTSt is nothing more than a turbocharged Jap family box with the rear doors welded shut.

etc etc.

For my money a WRX would own a GTs-T in the twisties.

Infact it was a WRX, and its superb steering, and directional change abilty that caused me to sell up my overpowered R31 to buy the R32 GTR....

WRXs (and EVO's) are one of the most popular weapons of choice in Motokhanas for a reason :thumbsup:

i suppose so, you've got to admit your'e comment was pretty dumb

If you had any clue about the concept of context, you'd see my comment just mirrored the stupidity coming from the guy who wrote off a WRX as a turbo shopping trolley. My comment is about as "dumb" as the guy I quoted. The difference is I was being satirical.

Or are you one of those dipshit Skyline "enthusiasts" who, since they're only used to what's gets grey imported into Australia, forgets that the base model Skyline is a 4 door sedan that basically does the same job in Japan as what Commodores / Falcons do in Australia?

thats some nice alliteration there, you're obviously a harvard grad or something being so smart and all

don't get me wrong the sti's are pretty quick especially the jap ones, but auto+aussie wrx=no fun

and the base 4 door non turbo model skylines actually have little, if anything to do with a gtst, very different cars

      Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far

      The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
