That there car sure is purty!
Nice car, but I'm already sick of this style of tail lights

i'd appreciate a few more photos on that page. sheesh.
Thats a lot of bodywork on a 4 cylinder. Right there is the essence of rice.
Problem with the WRX is you realize just how many gaper drivers are in the left lane.
Not too smart to call attention to your car. Cops notice you. not good.
That's how it came off the production line.Quote:

phat ride..
I thought it was pretty dope until I saw the interior.
You don't want to be looking at a bunch of puke yellow when you're inside the car.
J-
last week end at the race track, volvo was testing some s70 AWD type R. nice little undercover machine
Spec R1 is BS. It's just some body kit type crap installed by the factory...
"The release of the WRX Special Edition Spec R1 will satisfy those searching for a custom look from a factory car. The Spec R1 comes with MOMO designed accent pieces. 17-inch BBS wheels, and Bridgestone Potenza Pole Positions tires. The Subaru Anti-Theft System is also part of the package. Each Spec R1 will carry a unique serial number representing the limited availability of this vehicle. All WRXs are now outfitted with an illuminated ignition key ring."
This one isn't even an STi... Pass...
Yeah, but if it looks fast...Quote:

That's it! I'll take two!
Hey josh, the only thing is that they say its spec'd with a 2.5 Turbo, which only the STi comes with. So if it was just a WRX with a body kit, it'd have the 2.0. If its factory equipped with the 2.5, it isn't bullshit, unless they plan on putting it in all the WRX's (which they can't, for rally homologation reasons).
You got suspicious when you saw the VIN consisted solely of 2's, huh?Quote:
And what makes this different from a VIN? :)Quote:

Hey Funken - regarding your sig line:
I'm gellin like a felon.
Have you noticed on the commercials they've dropped that? I wonder if they got complaints about the "felon" part of it.
[/thread hijack]
I don't think that car has the engine they claim it does. The 300 hp, 2.5 L turbo is only in the 2004 WRX STI. This is clearly a 2003 (it has the bug-eyed headlights), so unless someone has dropped in a 2004 engine, or has taken the standard Imprezza 2.5 L engine and turbo-charged it, something is wrong here. I don't think any Subaru prior to the STI ever had a 2.5L turbo (in any market).

"Can you send me some photos of the car?"
Well, what do you think roo? I know there were a whole lot of crazy stripped down rally homologation models of the older WRX in Japan, such as the Type R, the RA, etc... Could this be one of them? Of course, I don't think the STi even comes with a radio -- this one does?

That's the run of the mill 225hp 2.0 liter engine- unless someone very tricky attached all the turbo plumbing and the like from a 2.0 onto a 2.5(i.e. from a 2.5RS) Since he says it's a North American spec car, and doesn't mention a very clean and discreet engine swap, I'm calling BS. Plus the 330hp STi engine comes with a larger intercooler.
The car is straight ugly. And yes, this is rice- they've added a lot of show and absolutely no go. It's actually probably slower than a stocker from all the stupid bodykit crap. Just buy an STi or an Evo VIII and be done with it.
How about a cooler Supra than anyone else instead?

Oops, my bad - that changes everything, but only if Lara Croft is included.Quote:

please continue on this "jeeps suck" thing. ive always been strangely attracted to them and jealous of those who drive them just because of their offroad abilities n such and b/c i think they look pretty sweet
They do have a few good points - remove doors/roof to cruise the beach/show off the bass from your subs and half-decent off road capabilities, but the bad outweighed the good in my experience.Quote:

The fuel economy is terrible, the short wheelbase means they are brutal on the highway - handling is terrible, the body shape leads them to get blown all over the road if its windy and icy (think any drive to a ski area), very little space for gear, not at all comfortable on longer trips, noisy(even with the hard-top) - basically, its 1940's technology in 2003.
Considering the Subies can go pretty much anywhere the Jeep can, but with good fuel economy, sports car handling, lots of room for gear, comfortable seats, etc and are about the same price...
I saw a Rubicon roll straight up Moab Rim last weekend (stopping frequently to wait for all the Land Rovers in his group that couldn't keep up and kept breaking stuff). I'd say it was a lot better than "half-decent off road".Quote:

Anyway, we're talking totally different things here. If you love to drive mountain roads (paved or gravel) fast, then get a Subaru (I have one and it makes perfect sense for the mountain commute). If you want to go 4 wheeling, (i.e. slow but you can get over all sorts of stuff that doesn't look driveable) get a Jeep. Personally, I'd be happy with one of each... :)
yeah i guess you got a point.Quote:

what about say the jeep liberty or cherokee?
I'll give you older models - cj-7's are awesome and new ones can be modded up for that (although you pretty much lose any highway ability). But even for this type of driving, there are way better options. I'll ignore the reference to Land Rovers, good for a SUV, but not a true off-roader. Think of an older Bronco or Jimmy- the poor Jeep wouldn't know what hit it and as, a bonus, you can rig a pretty nice sleeping compartment in the back of those. :DQuote:

Sorry, its just I spent too much cash that could have had much better on one. Subie dealer wouldn't even take it on trade, said they'd had so many come in, they couldn't sell them. I've had vehicles that did everything - from slow-speed, cut-line climbs to highway - better and for less money.
who the hell would want the sedan anyhow? the wagon is way better and is a bit more low profile. plus the rear seats fold down which can act as a makeshift bed. awww yeahhh!
they could have spent all that extra coin on ski gear or if you are a car nut, on parts to make the car go faster vs. look all riced out.
i bet i'll see it at the squaw parking lot. no no wait at boreal. haha

I have a 2003 WRX and love it. This car, however... I don't like the lights. The Alteza/Euro lighting look is getting kinda old to me. My rex has smoke headlight covers so they're darker than the stock housings, blend better with the car (it's black), and give it a more custom look. Plus this car's exhaust would be waaay to loud, with the GReddy and coffee-can muffler. My little Suub has a GReddy catback and even that alone is super loud (it used to belong to my friend before I inherited it, so the exhaust wasn't my choice) Plus, this guy should invest in window tints
Whoever said the STi didn't come with a radio is correct. There is no reciever, speakers, or audio wires. So if you get one and want stereo, you need to invest tons of money to wire everything, get the amps and fuses and all..
