my boss has an 08 Sti with MRT ecutek chip and full turbo back exhaust

you would have to pour a lot of money into a R32 GTR to keep up with this thing

mind you all up hes spent about 90 grand on the car just with these two mods and purchase price. pour 90 grand into a GTR and you have one serious machine

i reckon stay tuned for the WRX in the next 2-3 years.

the brand new 09 "Sedan" and "Hatch" WRX ($39,990) is already quicker out of the box than every single sti up to 2008 model (0-100 5.3 seconds STOCK). and it has the same suspension as the 08 Sti.

in a few years when subaru make their car finally look right the base model WRX will be the car to buy. and it will be dirt cheap too for a brand new performance car.

If your boss paid 80K for the STi which looks like a hair dressers car - FAIL!

Jeremy Clarkson drove the new STi (08) on Top Gear, he bagged the hell out of it. Said it looked crap and didnt handle much better. He said the evo 10 runs rings around it, he then did dougnut rings around the STi which was parked, it was a crack up!

Other driving tests showed that some drivers thought the new WRX was not as good as an EVO X but then when the times were tested the new WRX was doing better!

Top gear's a great show but its not the ultimate show for car comparisons, there's plenty of bias on the non-driving side of the car :)

yeh i was going to say Top Gear is definetely not a show to be basing every opinion on. you really need to make them for yourself.

iv driven my boss's sti. its fkn hauls ass. does low 4 second 0-100 times. its making 240kw at all 4 wheels !!!

and the 08 Sti also beat the evo 10 around the Top Gear track. so who cares. im not saying i like it. but i will tell you this.

it goes like the wind with the chip and exhaust it is extremely quick.

i still wouldnt buy one.

Ive had a go of the new evo ix on a skidpan and well, the subaru couldnt be much worse in the understeering department. Other than that its a great car

As far as that actual subaru vs an r32 gtr - id be *very* suprised if i couldnt put a few car lengths on him by 3rd/4th, or even 2nd depending on standing start/roll on.

I've had both a GC8 V6 Sti Four Door and an R32 GT-R. The GT-R is 5 seconds a lap faster for less money - and more reliable as everything is off the shelf. 1/4 mile times would be the same, GT-R would be a flat 11 and the Sti mid to low 12's - no contest.

STi's came in a V6?

lol @ the biased opinions on here.

Assuming both cars are stock, you're should get done on paper, but as is often the case, it will come down more to the skills of the driver than the abilities of the car. If you know your shit, you may well knock him off. Dial up some serious revs off the line...

If you're in Adelaide by any chance, let me know if he ends up beating you and I'll come round and tear him a new arsehole in my car lol. Nothing worse than a cocky Subaru owner...

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
