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:

Hey Guys,

first post, in defense of the new 2008 WRX :pirate:

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.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
