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 this is a actually postcard ad i found @ Brighton,

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.

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
