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

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.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
