the latest motor mag had the MY03 STi up against the new Turbo Falcon, came out really, really close. Of course they said the WRX still rules the twisties, but in terms of speed, very evenly matched. And apparently the new STi has exact same turbo as the Evo. Anyways, they did say it was quite an improvement.

All i know is that the new WRX has finally got the Jap-spec engine. But i think it was only 9kw's more or something like that.

as for potential...........don't have a clue! :D

also in the motor mag, possibilities of a 5.0ltr V10 BMW M5......yes please!! :uh-huh: :uh-huh:

all WRXs lack potential from what the AVO boss states in comparison to something like an EVO or Line... which are his prefered cars are for moding... then again that was before the new one was released, but i doubt that they changed the internals that much.

yeah...the new WRX looks pretty much standard fare. The front I like more - back to a more agressive feel.

In fact i'm getting very sick of looking at them on the road, there is only so much people can do to them looks wise. Give me an R34 GT-T for the price anyday..

It was just the normal WRX, not the sti. The sti would have kicked the falcons butt to japan and back:) .

From wheels mag: 168Kw and 300Nm. [previously 160kw and 292nm]

Better looks? That is a matter of taste, wheels mag seem to think its much better than the last model...

Subaru claims:

0-100kmh: 5.7 secs. [previous model tested by wheels @ 7.5]

0-400m: 13.9 secs. [previous model tested by wheels @ 15.3]

This is for the stock wrx not sti - look out :eek: though i doubt you could reproduce those figures on the street [so to speak].

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
