wrx is basically an underpowered evo with a weaker gearbox and higher percentage of cars with mini boxing gloves hanging from the rear view mirror

I lol'd because the last WRX we had in at former place of employment had the gloves lol. What the f**k is with that.

I've got 200x 5mg coming in, you want half of them? I'm fine with half that dose so I'll be cutting mine in half.

That's really generous, I think I'll take you up on that. Just lemme know when / how much I owe you and I'll drop past, cheers :)

try this guy, these are where I got mine and they came in pretty fast too, not sure if that cheap compared to where your looking but they have stock at least

Tried it last night and works great :)

Thanks! I'll add to favourites for a future order.

What do people think of wrx? I inspected one for a friend yesterday and was actually quite impressed and are in the same price range for an evo. What u dream boats think

Guy I worked with at honda had a new wrx sti - went through kinglake twists and to be honest that thing just stuck to the road, I was actually really impressed

true, but still... evo > sti

WRX drive well and make a decent daily compromise for a sports car...definitely felt more comfortable putting around in one than my Skyline. I was surprised how well it pulled for a 2 litre engine too. But...bit of a boring vehicle in a stock configuration. They aren't really pretty inside or out and they're pretty old hat now, like Skylines.

Wonder how long the "Evos are the shit" buzz will last on the import scene.

yeh i dont know whats happening with the car now.

after going for a spin in thats wrx yesterday i was very impressed - but supposedly $90k spent on it.

after driving an evo stock, i was still fkn impressed at how comfortably quick they are. good daily

ive found a few evo's i want, but now realising that i will probably regret getting a four door if its not an evo... seeing as a company car will(should) be around soon.

which then leaves me to, is there a point in selling mine? or do i still want a "change"

33GTR's are starting to catch my eye aswell..

my mind is full of f**k

33gtr havnt really looked, just liking them more and more..

Drove one ages ago, wasn't that impressed, only nice thing is boost comes in early but there's nothing on top end, that's it.

Want 300kw plus? Replace essentially everything, f**k that!

Mohomo, lower it more.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
