Title: Finally pics of my WRX!!!
Post by: EmperorRob on August 16, 2001, 06:30:41 AM
Sorry these are not the best quality pics as the scanner was an HP 3300 something or other.  But here they are (thumbnails for you low-band weenies).

First I had to say goodbye to my 2000 Honda Civic

Nice car..  I considered one of those when I was in my quest to find a new car.  I test drove a WRX, 2.5 RS, and an A4..

After driving the Audi A4 my heart was won..  But dood, the WRX is fast, handles great..

But I wanted a car that was fun to drive and comfortable for a daily driver..  And the Audi won.. But the WRX was my second choice..

I stand 6\'3 and I did not fit that well in the WRX at all..  

Hey here is a great site for subaru stuff, I know a lot of people on there, and if you not on there you should be..

Subaru Board (http://www.impreza-rs.com/)

If you want check out my site, I have done a lot of work to my car and I know quite a bit about it...  So if you start modding it let me know..

Yes, 227 stock.  But I believe the sport version of the Mitsubishi Eclipse, RS, GS, or whatever they call it now, has a turbo in it, too.  I could be wrong though.

Thats not correct at all..  There are a lot of turbo charged cars..

Toyota Supra, VWs, Audi TT, S4, A6, A4, S6 etc,etc

There are even more then that...

Different people have different taste. I, for example, think your Mitsubishi is kinda ugly, but if you like it then that\'s all that matters. Same thing with his WRX (which I find pretty cool looking).

Eh? Availabe in the U.S... As in, specifically made for the U.S., not having to import it.. That\'s what I meant. Isn\'t that right? idk..

Um, I\'m not quite sure what you mean. The Subaru isn\'t an American car either, so eh... can you explain it again?

Yes, that is true.

Post by: ##RaCeR## on August 18, 2001, 09:29:10 PM
My VRX isn\'t turbocharged, it makes 163 KW. The WRX is 160 KW, so they are well on par with each other.

What sorta times does your car make?

Emperor\'s car is much lighter though isn\'t it?  And for the record, I don\'t really care for either car.  But if I had to choose, I would go for Emperor\'s.

Well good for you.

Yes, his car is lighter, but mine is also more luxurious (unless he has the special edition WRX

Mine has
- Red Howe leather
- 8 speaker, 4 CD indash CD player
- 12 function trip computer
- sports steering wheel
- 17x8 5 spoke alloys.

Emporor - have you made any external mods to your car yet? I seen a wicked 2002 WRX in Brisbane with a mad new spoiler, it was massive.

I will see if I can find a pic, because your car would look HOT with one of these babies on the back.

Have you ever seen one of the massive Skyline wings? Kinda like that.

TOTALLY MAD.

Dood, too big a spoiler is butt ugly.

Seriously, everytime I see a car like an Impreza, or Mitsubishi Lancer or Galant with those huge ugly ass spoilers it makes me want to vomit my guts out.A spoiler is very cool, and looks great, but when it get\'s too big it just get\'s way too ugly.
Title: Finally pics of my WRX!!!
Post by: EmperorRob on August 20, 2001, 06:11:49 AM
Just a standard spoiler on mine.  I would\'ve gone for the 17" wheels but that was an extra $3000+ :(

6 CD-in dash changer and 6 speakers and a MOMO steering wheel.  The interior is cloth black and navy woven fabric.  There is a guy somewhere around where I live who has a Yellow WRX with a big spoiler on it and it looks nice, but I probably won\'t put one on since I\'ve already got this one from the factory.

I\'m jumping in with No-One on this one.  Big spoilers look absolutely stupid.

Agreed big spoilers are retarded..  But on a front wheel drive car it just show your really retarded..

They do have a purpose on a rear wheel or AWD dive car...  They serve no purpose on a front wheel drive car, and thats where you see them the most..

Post by: EmperorRob on August 20, 2001, 12:33:59 PM
If you\'re going fast enough to need a spoiler, you are upwards of 90+ mph aren\'t you?
Title: Finally pics of my WRX!!!
Post by: ##RaCeR## on August 20, 2001, 11:51:27 PM
Depends.

There is some tunnel in Japan, where they test cars for downforce with different spoilers and wings.

The VRX for example, needed a spoiler at higher speed, because it added in downforce/slipstreaming.

In some cases it can increase top speed, but it also can create drag.

I still think big spoilers are cool. Not TOO big though...

Err, Umm, dude, the original post is at the very top of page 2...

Get ya facts right.

Anyway??? What gives? I mean, I personally don\'t like the style of the new WRX, and since he owns one, I thought it might get alittle cranky...

You people dwell on way to much...
