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:

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
