Eh nothing fancy .. Looks like a 3 series mazda .. Suppose would be alright if its 4wd and has a semi powerful boxter in it .. looks like a feather weight at about 7-8hundred kg .. would give a few cars a good run ...

come to think of it i object to the title to this thread. 'Just When You Thought Wrx's Couldn't Get Any Uglier' implies the current batch of WRX's are ugly as sin... i find them to be quite the opposite. They look tough as hell, if anything the new EVO is a bit on the nose

aaaaanyway :D

Lets face it.....you have a point....WRX's do look great when money has been spent.

The title I believe was not knocking WRX's at the moment.....but was hinting to the fact that the next one will be F$%ked.

Its like saying....If you thought things couldn't get much worse........look at whats coming up... :rofl:

You are to anal....... :sorcerer:

Although all of us over at RexNet are not the biggest fans,

these pictures make it look a little better

I don't mind it. Could be a lot worse.

I think that problem is that a lot of you are trying to compare it to the current model. If you have a look at it as a hatchback rocket, then it really doesn't look too bad. If it looked like a Daewoo Lanos, then you would have reason to complain.

first of all i have to say that i really hate wrx's, ANY OF THEM they are all nasty

okay so where do i begin.....

the front grill looks like its from a proton, the bonnet scoop doesnt match the car at all

the roof is too high, the back looks like a cheap lexus

the interior is disturbingly bland

jesus christ, i thought the new lancer was bad

LOL :):(:laugh:

Coming from someone who drives a N/A r33... slowest skylin ever made that is a bit harsh. I really think you need to wake up to yourself before you make silly comments like that, i have a lot of time/respect for skylines, but any wrx would be better then your car. The new WRX is definetly not something thats easy on the eye, but i dont think it will be that bad once everyone gets used to it/sees it in person.

Haha :laugh:

I think I am going to sell mine and either buy an Evo 10 or get an R34 GT-R at the end of this year, in which case I'd be spending a little more time on this forum :)

I think thats the problem... it *does* look like a Daewoo Lanos.

Hell it's like they're re-badged Kia Rios or some other shopping trolley like a 1999 Mazda 323 Astina hatch. I wish I had two more hands so I could give it... FOUR THUMBS DOOOOOOOWN :) I don't care whats under the hood

Its not hard to see that Subaru is copying BMW for body styling. The side of sedan wrx copys BMW 5 series, the hatch resembles 1 series.

They really have screwed it up this time (more shocking than the bug-eye version). rear of the hatch is hopeless although I can see some potentials in the sedan version in terms of looks. A new grille and a redesigned front bar from any tuner will fix the front end (headlights are not bad actually). no pictures of sedan's rear end?

Nice interior though. and im sure it will drive just fine.

That also looks, well, better then that other ugly POS but still, rex's have gone to the dogs.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
