I've seen a RS and a STI. I think the look suits the RS. However for the STI, just doesnt look tough.

If anyones intersted my best mate is selling a 2007 STI, the last model before this monstrosity. Got to love the huge rear wing :D

The reason they went to the "hatch" look is to attract a new female market...hence all the hatch impreza's...they are looking to release the sedan at a later stage...but it really just looks like a kia

Wow, that really does look shit....and there is a lady behind the wheel, that says it all.

Better :)

That's just cheating, of course a race focus will look good :kiss:

Adz you suck, go home!

Oh and i don't think it liked the track, it made loads of understeer noise into turn 4, it just didnt look as fast as the older sti's

That particular car didn't like being started after sitting in the paddock after a few laps either. As soon as it started, it was puffing a cloud of oil smoke out it's rear for a good 10-15 seconds before it cleared up.

Yep... ball-less, unispiring, souless piece of shit... Worst WRX ever made!

And with 2 weeks in Japan i saw 6 R35 GT-R's and 1 STi Betty (the new WRX has earnt the nickname "Ugly Betty")... Subaru is on a real winner :kiss:

ive only ever seen the rs model of the new subaru. i like the look of the rally version though but i love the old look you knew it was a wrx with the big rear wing and the large hood scoop they were great. the bug eyed model isnt the worst model anymore either. do you think they will quickly change the shape again like they did with the bug eyed version or is this what they will look like from now on and never have that boy racer look ever again.

there are a few floating around sydney however they just dont standout like WRX's of old.. They look just like every other car out there...You tend to only notice them if you are deliberately looking for one

that looks like a camry!!!!!!! :D

on the roads, the hatch looks ok - but on the track.....just looks soooo wrong.....

I hate the new look of the SUBARU range!!

I had to pretend I liked them at the Motorshow when I worked there this year!

..and, we didnt recieve many good compliments or feedbacks either. Most people were like wdf?

But the new design of the STI was because they were aiming it for woman in their mid 30s-40s and for mums. Why? I duno lol but it worked coz so many older woman were loving the car and the younger age group and men hated it.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
