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.

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
