hey everyone, a rather hilarious event occured coming home from stadium drift on the gold coast a couple of weeks back and i think it needs to be shared. The two cars in question is my friends ($20k) '03 subaru impreza RS and my other friends '88 ($3.3k) front-wheel drive corolla. we went the long way home through labrador and pulled up next to each other at a set of lights. mate in corolla starts revvin the guts out of the shtbox, im a passenger in the subaru and mate starts revvin back...its on! the corolla absolutely blew the subie away, it eventually made some sort of effort to catch up but it was well over by then. what i wanna know is could this be put down to shit driving or are the n/a impreza's just that slow?

*bump* - it's a RS... I would rather not get a Suburu then get a RS... it's like saying.... Ok, I'll go for a Cheese burger but minus the meat and cheese!! LOL ... but hey, Corollas have potential... actually a good platform to work on...

theyve both got poxy little 4 cylinder engines, and the corolla is waaay lighter.. not suprising if you ask me..

Your mates are dumb asses for racing on a public roads.. thats how people get killed.. Im not saint but I dont race on the rd!

*DECIM8 pulls out his GAYDAR, and reads its sencing of surrounding users.. +1000000 of gayness for all 3 persons in the story*

*DECIM8 pulls out his RADAR n cuts up licences*

My view on life is this .. If it aint a nissan its worth dissin ..

actually my brother just bought an RS (2.5L). no doubt its not the fastest car in a straight line, but for a stock car it absolutely hammers through the mountains. it's almost effortless cruising and on tight roads/tracks i'd say it's pretty much on par with a stock wrx and both the subies are miles ahead of a gtst. comparing apples and oranges - as a car, i reckon they're great.

recaro bucket seats, momo steering wheel, dual airbags, creature comforts, sedan, asthetically, handling ability, not to mention it's young age and low km - it's quite a tidy STOCK package. definitely an all rounder kind of car - and in this day and age, it's definitely something to consider at those kinda prices.

thank god its only your view.....

corollas rock, thrash em and they just keeeep on chuggin.

But yeah i agree what was said before, whats the point of an rs.... its like me going and buying a non turbo r32 (no offence to anyone who has one... but seriously) i mean it may look alright, but it sounds like crap, and they go like my mums echo.

pointless, and i hope your mate with a subaru realises that he should sell his 20K (holy crap he paid how much??) rs and grow some balls.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
