Is it just me or is a stocko wrx incredibly quick... my mate has a 98 rexy and this thing hammers. He's beaten macked out 300zx's, 350z, silvias, lots of r33's, RX7 Series 6 Stock, many V8's and a few Hyundai's (hehehe)..... it hurst me to say this but his car is even quicker than my baby.... :Oops:

what is it with the subi that makes it so quick....? Is it the power to weight ratio, better engine design or just the driver....

whats doing!! Any howz i rate the wrx (for now) up with my r33, untill i can pull a gtr to whoop some major ass....haha

cheers ;)

IN the wet, nice, but it ain't always raining and on the racetrack they are pretty off the pace until heavily modified and then unreliability sets in.

You are obviously talking about the anti social drag from the traffic light thing. From the lights sure you can launch hard, but a gts25t should eat it in third. Even an STi is easy meat if you take them in a rolling start.

I say again though, in the wet, an NA Impreza will mow mw from the line:D

Hmmm is htis WRX stock? I've seen my friends (been in my friends) gtsts while they ate wrx's (both lightly modified).. since they now both run ~210rwkw as soon as they get traction is bye bye wrx...

my car is a whole other story ;)

as for the track, we all saw what a brand new stock wrx does on the track - snowman @ winton

For anyone else who wants to post this thread again in the future, here's a template you can just copy and paste:

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
