Terenceleo Clutched May 11, 2009 Share May 11, 2009 Yo bro i'm still using the stock tyres,potenza 050 something. Shouldn't be a problem to push further to 180km/h. Just that got family along so manage to stay at 150km/h the most. One thing is those noise intrusion from the side mirror & road noise lor. You got remove your speed limiter bro? How about retuning your ecu? Planning to change my tyres to bigger profile soon. 225 or 235 Soundproofing is a must haha... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear May 11, 2009 Share May 11, 2009 may i know what's the fuel consumption when you speed at 150-160km/h...one thing i noticed is that in Britain, their speed limit is 110km/h...and they are getting much better milege than us singaporeans? why? they say driving at 90km/h is the most economy speed...but seems 110km/h is better... you were carrying how many people and any luggage?

Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear May 11, 2009 Share May 11, 2009 the STi A-Line 2.5Turbocharged 300bhp, but why 'only' 350nm, even the SG-T 2.0Turbo will do 333Nm... but now 5A/T...so are people going to say why no 6A/T? i think PI will bring it in at $100k?

Whole boot of luggages. 4 adults(incl. me) & my baby. Could have got better fc if i were to stick to 100-110km/h...but heck it ;) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear May 11, 2009 Share May 11, 2009 no i think the faster you go, the less the car drinks...as what i said...britains and americans drive at 110-160km/h constant for at least 50km...their huge V8 can get 6-7km/l easily...normal car can get 11-16km/l easily...drive slower and your car just waste fuel...

Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear May 11, 2009 Share May 11, 2009 give me a license and i'll whack the car...therefore, i'll still get my license, but let my father drive...i cannot tahan 'slow driving' anythin' below 150km/h...so i'd rather sleep in the car...while my dad or uncle drives...or else, i take MRT or bus...or walk... but at night...the roads are really empty...everybody overtook my dad one time...my dad was doing 100km/h on the middle lane...the rest just zoomed past, probably at 140-160km/h...no traffic police in sight too...anyway, new GPS can detect infra-red rays coming from TP speed trap...like 200m before...so enough time to slow down to legal speeds...the cars that zoomed past include WRX, M3, 5-series, Type-R...even altis...

Seevic Neutral Newbie May 11, 2009 Share May 11, 2009 drive slower and your car just waste fuel... vice versa. drive faster and the harder your engine has to work to push through the wind (drag). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermitage 1st Gear May 12, 2009 Share May 12, 2009 I've got a friend who drives one. He bought it new from Motor Image and has kept it more or less stock from day one. Power's really quite good cos it can easily keep up with a Porsche Cayman (my other friend drives one... ) up to around 150km/h. Speed is electronically limited to 180km/h though you'll seldom, if ever, need to go faster than that in Singapore. On the NS Highway however, it can be a real party-pooper! Otherwise, the drive is quite civilised, if a little bumpy, over uneven surfaces. The wifey should have no problems whatsoever handling the car. I think if the price is right, just go for it man!

As some of the bros say, we only live once, so i really really interested in the rex, however due to insurance premiun constraint...(10% NCD) Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zigen_79 Neutral Newbie December 27, 2009 Share December 27, 2009 my guess is everyone here have their own dream rides , having speaking from experience, you did mention that u r married , then what i can say is, grab it before circumstancs go against you , wrx is not the top of the top range sports racing car but it is a sports car as comparing to normal salon regardless of petrol or insurance and the price tag if u dont do it now, having a few kids and a pregnant wife later will sensibly make you set your mind right , own it if you can now, if its really your dream then fulfill it . having only 1 owner and with age of almost three years wrx ,for the engine i dont think you need to worry over it , engine nowadays with the craziest driver will still not fail you at this time and any time from now till maybe another three years but like what Mr darkside mention , its the gearbox , if its a manual still quite safe , but an auto gearbox then really pls do a good check on it ,play it safe than sorry, spend some cash now and get it check by a mechanic hope ,wish your dream come through cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedream 3rd Gear December 30, 2009 Share December 30, 2009 hi there, I had just join this forum... I am driving a my08 n.a impreaza and i find that the FC for this NA impreza is very very siong... 12l/100km..

BTW I am 28 yrs old... Thanks for all the feedback... subarus aren't known for good fc. but i don't think i've seen anyone with a figure as low as you for a na car. not sure whether it's your calculation or your driving style? in general, the higher the horsepower, the higher the fc. so yes, you can expect higher fc with the wrx. maybe about 7 to 8 km/l, depending on how u drive. i'm no insurance agent, but i hazard a guess that it'll cost you $4K before any discount. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
