Hey all

Well were do i start, My step mum just picked up the new WRX hatch the other day and let me take it for a bit if a hoon :(

ok im comparing this to my relitivly stock r33 gtst ,

ok , first thing that blew me away was the handeling, i was obsolutely amazed at how the car just kept track, i couldnt do the same menouvers in the 33, i was actually tring to get this thing to show a bit of slide but i couldnt get its ass to budge, suspension was nice, my 33 feels every little dent, bump in the road , i approached a speed hump and slowed down to about 20 ks, my dad told me to "hit it" so i took the hump at about 40-50 and didnt lift off my seat,

then there is the turbo :(

compared to my car which really starts to pull at about 4-6000 rpm the wrx was pulling from 2.5-5, after 5gs it really started to shit itself and didnt move much after that,

all in all i was pleased with the performance side of the car and its handelling , the car would out run mine off the line but give me a big straight and thats another story

wouldnt mind those liberty STI's.. that will be a sleeper for sure..

Back to the topic.. how is the interior compared to the skyline?? the dash n all??

ahaha funny you mention the iberty seeing that my dad bought his last year lol not the sti version unfortunatly lol still the 2 L turbo kicks ass, such a sleeper of a car

the interior is very plain the sound system is pathetic, might as well go buy a $50 system from supercheap (honestly) only got 4 speakers and all trebble lol, the dash is nice with the RPM's metre dead in front of you, the k's on a smaller dial just to the left

I agree with the newbie above :laugh: get a turbotech boost controller the reason why it feels like it really kicks in up high is the factory dual stage boost controller

newbie?

you dont need any form of boost controller to make it 7psi straight away rather than 5/7

Huh? Not a liberty RS or something??? If its the B4 dude, that is a rather high end stereo. I do hope your talking about an RS.

That kit on the WRX doesn't look to bad, bit over the top, wouldn't mind it a bit less in your face but similar style...

I like the fact that it gets rid of the nose, I think the car looks tougher with just that pug nose gone

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
