Get the rain guards, I put mine in last week and they are legit. Really make the car aggressive looking. Especially with mud flaps

thegonz
03-04-2011, 02:12 PM
i got the guards sitting in my room right now

i got the new brake rotors and the place i got them from sent me the wrong size so they are too big for the 2.5i brake bracket is too small for them, so now i need wrx brake bracket or brakes

that car wins. and here's why: 1.) it's NOT a turbo :shock: . now dont get me wrong i :smt007 turbos, but the non turbos drive pretty good and have a ton of get up and go :smt023 . tuning one of those takes creativity, restraint, and guts. 2.) the component selection is spot on. everything looks right together, no one parts says "look at me" it just flows. the parts list screams quality, cobb springs for instance = win, rallitex front and rear endlinks, not everyone will get of those kind of upgrades (though the hard core jdm guys and the scca guys might think of those), i bet it handles like a monster :grin: . power is nothing without control they say... 3.) it's drop dead gorgeous, which is hard to pull off on that generation prez. it's not over done, or understated, it's just right, visually. if it were mine, i wouldn't change anything. you made me a believer. :smt038




:smt020


** ps ** "it means alot that people aren't bashing my ride like other forums"

trust me, they're just jealous. with a car like that when you start getting hate, your doing it right.

i bet it'll rock socks. wrx guys better watch that thing in the twisties. :smt023 i was talkin to a guy workin at one of the subaru dealers where i used to live and he was telling me how a guy in a 2.5rs destroyed at a track event they hosted, the wrx guys were really unhappy b/c all his $ was in the suspension and he was basically running a stock motor lol

no doubt, i smoked a wrx the other night up on skyline. which is a road in beaverton full of switchbacks and hills. He beat me up the hill with his boost but had to slam the brakes on each hill while i was mashing in 4th the whole way up it. Got down to the bottom of the hill and he was in love with my PreZ

thegonz

He beat me up the hill with his boost but had to slam the brakes on each hill while i was mashing in 4th the whole way up it. Got down to the bottom of the hill and he was in love with my PreZ

I remember once being behind a "new" WRX about a 4 years ago with my Silvia. He tried hard as hell to our run me and couldnt. He had it slammed, exhaust, loud BOV, and he couldnt shake me in my slightly modded S13 with a stock SR swap... Got to the light and asked me what I had under the hood. I said "nothing special..." haha... All I had was a OEM wastegate so no one knew it was turbo...

That is one clean looking Impreza! :smt023 done just right... I'm thinking of wheels some what like what you have for my GT...

thegonz

That is a sharp looking car. Never was terribly into the current generation of Impreza, but yours is frighteningly good looking.
