post-a221468-WRP10.jpg

(emailed to me this morning)

“Don't leave a rare WRP10 WRX (only 200 imported into Aus) on display without locking wheel nuts. Actually, probably should have kept it inside and moved a couple of i30s outside for the time you had it.”

For the locals who know how close this is to the police station... and their workshop / hangout.... it is kind of embarrassing.

the badge is just behind the front wheel Nick,

nice find Steve, heres an interesting bit of trivia for you all as i work for Subaru.

WRP10 wheels (rays engineering) $1,193 each, yes each! w/o tyres...

oh and we sell lock nut too $114 :D

gee thats gotta suck!

I concur.

However I am torn between the hilarity and awe at the utter boldness, and sick feeling I get when people find it in themselves to do stuff like this.

Insurance or not - I have been on the recieving end such dog acts. It is an awful thing.

Bold, very bold.

However, it's still quite the dog act.

we had the same thing hapen when i was working at another subaru dealer, i dont know if anyone remembers the liberty blitzen, anyway they were a limeted run and they were all bright red, with big expensive wheels.

the salesman who went to move it one morning didnt know what was wrong when he put it in gear but the car wouldnt move... he got out of the car and quickly discovered the problem...

well if anyone finds a set of WRP10 wheels going cheap, be sure to check the data dots. they will be sprayed on the inside of each wheel. :D

Credit where credit is deserved.

Exactly!

Those WRP10 wheels arent the best rims subaru have released though, why would you bother? Try and find one of the late model STi's with the enkei style/multispoke ones that look like blitz technospeeds

    • 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.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
