Well I have finally found a car, and I am getting it on monday if all goes well, I was very into the RX-8 and after a while i realized how dumb that would be in edmonton, cause then i’d have to have a shitty winter truck etc etc. though they are nice cars.
So i have landed a 2004 WRX with a few goodies, the car has dynoed at 250’awhp’ which is pretty sexy. I will get the dyno charts when i get the car.
few of the gooodies i can remeber
-VF34 turbo ( wee bit bigger than STi turbo)
-jap STi intercooler
-STi uppipe
-STi injectors
-4" downpipe
-3" exhaust
-full cobb front brakes, lines pads etc etc
-pro tuned to perfection (hopefully haha)
-sti short shifter

and that is all i can rember except i know there is more. But yah this thing fly’s its a hell of a lot faster than the spec (RIP) haha. but when i get it i will put some pics up for any subaru fans and some dyno sheets.

BUT thanks NECC its been great

These guys were helpful when I was looking for STi tires

I might buy a WRX once I can get my Spec V back to relatively stock.

13

i would def reccomend it! this car kicks ass, no regrets!

14

I have heard they have tranny issues tho? Read it from the NASIOC (something like that) website. That they are prone to clutch shudder and ultimately gear shearing (sounds like 2nd and 3rd are the most common culprit). Have you heard anything about this?

15

yup i sure have heard of it, the transmissions from the 02 03 and shitty, then 04-5 are pretty good, btu when you get up to the power that say, my car has at the moment, it can be an issue if you just dump the clutch, which is NOT the thing do to on these awd cars. 06 transmission is perfect, they fixed the flaws. more info on www.nasioc.com
