For me, this is my first performance car. So no much complain on looks and speed. I just dont like the FC and the interior space. But definitely i love the boxer sound.. especially every morning warm up my car in MSCP ahha.

 

 

FC u are better than me leh.....interior is a tad too small, i realise....my GTi was bigger although its a hatchback.

Are you on HKS legamax? did you let the cat out of the bag?

I on greddy boost controller, i ever try max boost show 1.2bar. I have not go for any tuning, i also not sure whether the previous owner mod what. Maybe in the future go for a re- tune lo.

It is originally auto JDM gearbox. But owner converted to STI 6 speed manual gearbox. Anyway all the dealer are the same la. All care about $$ ma. So we as a buyer must do some homework before buying.

hp is not everything....

 

do u know that the handling parts of sti n wrx are totally diff

dccd

front + rear lsd

aluminum control arm

thicker sway bar

Quick Ratio steering 15.0:1 Rack and Pinion

Super Sport Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), with independently controlled rear wheels.

n many more other items...

 

 

n those parts that come with the wrx, most of the item r not universal for other cars, at the end of 10 years, most of the GD rex already scrape, u cant sell off those parts too.
