having an agruement with a guy from work atm as he thinks there is a wrx non turbo?

i have never heard of such a car exist it is either a non turbo rx or the turboed wrx and sti.

i have searched the net only to find another forum with one guy saying there is no such thing either i need a clear answer to tell this guy that he is blowing smoke out of his ass hole.

essentially i thought that engine were similar with some different internal components, bonnet scoop, different front bar different interior etc but as far as a non turbo WRX which he claims his mate has one i dont believe it.

WOW i said someone was sad enough to buy wrx badges and fit them.

unless someone went to the trouble of buying a wrx with turbo and then taking it off and pluming up all the lines back to the block and coolant. he still says no its definetely a factory badged non turbo wrx.

could i get a list of peoples answers so i can print it out and take it to work cos i work with a bunch of commo drivers at work who think jap cars are like rabbits and shouldnt be in the country cos they won bathurst in the early 90's, who no nothing about jap cars but just tell me to leave him alone and that he must no wat he is talking about.

In the USA they originally bought out a WRX which had a 2.5litre engine but no turbo.

They have only just bought out the turbo WRX with the 2 litre engine

google it, its on the net somewhere

mate i work for subaru and i can tell you there is no such thing as a non turbo wrx from factory.

his mate has prolli got an RS-X. which is just an RS impreza. these had a 2.5 litre N/A engine, with interior the same as the wrx. subaru australia took 400 of these and made the limited edition RS-X, which got wrx wheels, rear muffler (twin pipe) and stickers. so basicly at a glance it looks just like a rexy without the bonnet scoop.

does this help?

hahahah lol his mum is the secretary at our work so i guess the opportunity is there bud lol.

best answer so far.

Do your mates mum and then tell him you did his mum. Will completely make him forget about the wrx topic....

As said above, non turbo's are Impreza's.

I think there is a non turbo version just , the subaru impreza 2.0L. Personally if you needed a non turbo just head for a Skyline GTS RB25DE because standard WRX turbo models put out roughly 230Hp , and im not saying they dont go hard but a non turbo impreza would probably give out about 160hp topps. hence Skyline GTS 190hp but its up to you. Good luck in finding one =]

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.

      Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)

      Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...

      Blue slip

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...

      Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
