Yeah, that car looks like it would be more at home on Suzuka with the GT300 cars than Deutchland. :shurg: _Still looks nice though. Look at how they shrouded the FMIC._ ---

why do car designers insist on going with the super man symbol grill… this is one of the largest mistakes EVAR… It’s sexy, I hate the grill… it looks like a fat whiney long island pig bitch about to whine that her parents bought her a new A4 instead of an A8 for sweet 16… or have I been watching too much Sweet Sixteen on MTV? ---

The IC is mounted up higher to shorten the piping. The rads are lower to keep the weight of the water lower and get added coolant capavity from longer hoses.

The rads are lower to keep the weight of the water lower and get added coolant capavity from longer hoses. I can’t wait to see underhood pics to see what else they tweaked from 2005 there are also cooling benefits to mounting it at an angle like that. ---

The Grill looks more like a wire mesh on the wrx car, which is nicer than the consumer model which has thick plastic now. The 04 and 05 had the wire mesh too, it is much better than the plastic. Hopefully the new design hels the car out a little bit, Solberg is getting crushed lately. They are supposedly doing a complete redesign of the car in 07 so we’ll have to see whats in store. ---

I think it looks sweet > I was thinking the same think…looks a little to low to be Rallyfied…plus tires look to SLICK for dirt That looks about right for a tarmac rally setup, like France or Cataluna. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wrc2006-impreza/2401.md?page=2)
