Yeah the new WRX looks terrible. But I still say the new STi has potential.

sti2008_03.jpg

If the STI looked like that pic put me down for one BUT i think it will look more like the

stupid smiling grill thing like the Ring pic posted earlier.

Going by the pics the EVO wins hands down

Looks like i'm keeping the classic forever :thumbsup:

On the earlier STI i have seen either foggies or the covers but then i think it became a STI thing to just have the covers plus its another spot to put some STI stickers.

BTW its Gaz not Alycia ireally should get my own membership :thumbsup:

I saw it in Japan in january. Took these snaps below. It looks pretty cool. A little to 'new-age' and 'edgey' for me. but hey, they have always been a bit of a homo's car....

hmmmm honestly i doubt that will be the production STi... its waaaay too different from the actual WRX which means thats obviously the WRC car.

much like the WRC version of the ugliest ever, the bugeye, it actually looks half decent.

yeah, I think the pics I took were of the concept version. production version probably is toned down a bit and has an uglier girl standing next to it. or even worse, no girl at all. :P

That pic has being doing the round on the internerd for the last few years. There is no way in hell that Suabru will produce somthing even close to that very bad photochop.

Subaru have recently made a deal with Daewoo and Hyundai. Suabru will be borrowing the ugly stick from those 2 companys and using it on all of there new cars.... Here's just a peak at what Subaru have been making recently...

There's alot of subaru people hoping then new STi will be better looking than the newly released WRX, but really it's hard to make chicken salad out of chicken shit.

Oh and the new WRX.... with a Mazda3 over the top....

I think the X looks great and will be very keen to have a go when they come out.

But have been thinking I'd like to take a look at something a bit different...

3.0L

6-cyl

twin turbo

RWD

and German

The BMW 135i Coupe - http://www.rsportscars.com/eng/cars/bmw_135i.asp

Something about them is pretty cool - I always loved 2002s, and this looks like a grown up version.

BUT... we'll see. Evo X still top of the list for mine, and we'll have the E90 M3 at work soon - so I can always play with that :stupid:

my old man restored a 2002 tii.. then sold it :stupid:

it was red with a creme leather interior. SO nice....

I was going to wait and buy a X...but local dealer could not comment on whether available in auto. So armed with cash from selling my R34 GTR...i was purchased a V35 which i soon to convert with GTR motor and AWD using V35 gearbox. Looks and performance of latest Nismo Nissan with comfort and performance of auto. Much better then Mitsubishi.

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
