Anyone here had experence with Subaru WRX? (No Ferrari content)

just make an offer. it's not doing them any good sitting there.

 

Hey mate.

I looked at a few, but then decided to think with my head rather than my heart and I bought a house with the money.

Im now going to wait and get into a 360 in about 4-5 years time.

 

I have a 2.5lt STi motor stroked to 2.7lt with Billet Crank, Forged Rods and Pistons and Iron Sleeves.....heads are ported with oversized valves, upgraded valve springs, Custom Cams.....motor can rev to 8000rpm.

I use a 700hp T67 Greddy twist mount Turbo with large rear exhaust housing, 42mm external wastegate, FMIC, 900cc injectors, Microtech ECU, 6 Speed STi Gearbox, upgraded brakes, clutch, flywheel, Coilvers, strut braces, underbody braces, ect ect the mod list is endless lol...........I also have Nitrous if need be (not needed haha)

On my road setup it runs 21psi boost at makes 310kw atw.

High boost is 27psi and it makes 355kw atw.........I have also done 50hp shot of nitrous on high boost and it did 381kw atw on the dyno.

All in a classic WRX (2000 model) so its lighter than the new ones. Goes like stink!

2 years of fuss free driving, But it is a weekender so dont drive it that often.

 

Well done, good decision Frank. 4-5 years isn't far away at all, good luck mate.

 

thanks heaps. Im really happy about my decision also.

and yes 4-5 years isnt far, and then I can get a newer 360 which would be awesome! Something to work hard for!

 

I "should" have bought 2 more houses (2x deposits) with the cash I paid for my 348 back in 2005. I could have had 6 invesment properties now and probably be driving a 430 instead of a 348.

But I dont regret making that decision in the least. You only live once and I love having my Ferrari in the garage. Even if I only drive it once in a blue moon, its special experience everytime and I am grateful to be one of the lucky ones that gets to drive a Ferrari whenever I want.

But you have to do whats right for you and I am glad you are happy with the house. I LOVE properties myself.

Best of luck with the 360 in a few years mate. They will be worth as much as a 348 in around 5 yrs time from now anyways.

 

cheers PAP, thanks for the help and info you gave me while I was looking.

Yeah heres hoping in 5 years a nice 360 will be about 100k - 110k...........hahaha!

 

Had a WRC edition while in Sydney, WORST turbo lag of any car i have ever driven.

So bad [ie just taking off from a stop sign or traffic lights] thought there was something wrong with it.

Its common to this and *maybe* just this edition?

NOT recommended.

Don\\\'t forget, lower it, huge tail pipe, doof-doof stereo, and wear a tracksuit with a backwards faced cap, etc, and you will fit right in fine!

I hate the ufckers, and the set it attracts

Cheers

 

blah blah blah

did you drive that 550 yet?

 

you're such a tease

 

Bad luck.. hope you find another unmolested one to your liking soon then.

 

Tough call.. if good mechanicals but washed out colour.. ideal IMHO is WRC Blue of course lol.

 

Guess you'd go for a red ferrari to hah.

BTW, driving to Sydney on the 4th of Jan. Will contact you closer to the date.

 

Ahh some things are just meant to *be* in the natural order lol.

Subie - Blue
F-car - Red, Yellow definitely, I would have to toss a coin on that one if ever in the position.. even a deep Blue with right interior (tan) would work too!

I've seen some interesting 458 config combos posted up, eg White with chocolate interior.. bit brave but interesting still!

I'll stock up on the ginger nuts then lol.

 

FU Silver looks hot of rexes

My silver is different to a 98 silver but still

gold rims only work on the blue or gunmetal colours.



if you get blue get some 555 stickers(haha some clowns in sydney have done just that).

 

Good boy.

Best of luck with it mate!
