WRX Owners?

[Integra505]

Does anybody in here own a Subaru WRX, Regular or STi?

I went to an open-track day at the local racetrack, and there were a few guys with WRX's tearing it up, and it made me curious. Especially since there was guy in an STi that was SPANKING the Z06 guys!

I currently drive an Acura Integra, with lots of suspention and engine work done, but I feel that it might be time to move onto bigger and faster things.

So I have been looking into the WRX's, researching them online and surfing the boards, but I can't seem to find an un-biased opinion about the cars. Everybody I know that owns one loves it, and the boards are all full of people raving about how much they love their WRXs, but I want an honest opinion.

If there are any unbiased opinions, or people that have pros/cons about them, I would like to know!

Also, please don't flame me because I'm into imports. American muscle just isn't appealing to me.

[Deltron]

I have no opinon on WRX's since I never ridden in one nor own one, but prepare to be flamed anyways. The people who own american cars on here seem to hate anything non-american for some reason. Diversity scares them? I don't know. I'd say if you can afford a WRX then go out and test drive one, get an honest opion from a dealer or just experience the drive for yourself.

[Angryredneck]

WRX's are good handlers, and I think those Z06 owners don't know how to drive worth a shit..................RWD cars on a dry open track will do well in the hands of a good experienced driver who knows the limits of the car and can push it........AWD cars are easier for those who race less.....WRX's handle very well, but so does a teg with lots of suspension work, I'd say learn to autocross more and get the most out of the car before you dump it........On the subaru boards, you will find lots of WRX supremacists because of rally style y0.........so they will obviously blindly follow it due to all the F&F and import crazes that now turn everyone towards rally racing and japanese cars in general...you will find many dumbasses just riding on the bandwagon that don't know shit about cars, and a few who are actually real racers...It IS a good car, but there will always be fanatics out there. Regular WRX's are quick, but not fast, but the STI does everything well. Depends on how much money you have.........I have 2 friends with WRX's, an 03 regular sedan and an '04 wagon............good cars.

[FatBastard]

ok, so this is what i know:
the WRX was one of the fastest cars in it´s market-share in it´s time, both on track and off track...

it´s suspension is really well done, and allows you to drive really aggressively, and still maintain control of the car. still, it´s not too much oversteering. it´s clearly more rally than road-track, but maybe you see my point.

i only have experince with the original, non mod WRX model, but i mean, that is already really, really fast. and it´s handling on track is quite amazing, considering it´s price. it´s not the fastest out there, but certainly worth it´s price.

oh, i don´t own one, i´ve ridden one once, and read alot aboot it, so you might say i´m somewhat unbiased.
i think that the purpose of the car, should be the solution for you. if you´re gonna drag, then i perhaps wouldn´t buy a subaru. i you´re gonna race, i don´t know, then probably not the subaru either (u can be faster on a track, with less money...), but if you really enjoy driving, and wanna feel like you´re in control of your car, then consider the subaru.
i don´t know, this is just my oppinion...

EDIT: seems like me and redneck posted at pretty much the same time. now my post seems dumb, since i say the same things... somewhat... damn you angryredneck... :D

You are an asshole! no "Diversity" what the fuck do you mean by that?? stfu and go out and buy your $500 carbon fiber wing uncle ben

[Boostedpimp]

What the above said... the way I look at is too simply look at the pro's and con's... which are...................

pro's

AWD = Boosted launches
AWD = No worries about driving in rain/snow
Respect from the rice peoples... tons of it
Mid to high 13s stock
A warrenty
A big aftermarket opening up for these things
A real reason to have indiglow gauges all over
Easy to mod for performance

Con's

A fat payment each month out of your wallet
Trouble seeing the cars on your ass due to a GIANT GAY WING
Awarrenty so you can't even change out the air filter for x amount of years
Cheap interior imo
Weak Transmisions
AWD which will mean more parts to break
AWD = weak mid range power (like from a 40mph roll)in case your thinking about that kinda racing :)

That's about all i could think of off the top of my head right now man.. and all this coming from a person that doesn't like imports :mad: but i've been in them blenty of times simply because a friend owns a black STI.

Good luck with your choice

Yeah you're pretty much full of fucking shit you dumbass. Angry, Boosted, and I love american cars but we have equal respect for any well performing car no matter where it's from, so perhaps you better check your shit cuz you're wrong about us and the way to increase a cars performance. I'll give you a hint, Vynl does NOT add horsepower.

HAHAHAHA boosted called you uncle ben. LMAO AWESOME!

[Deltron]

Wow just because I said you guys are pro american only naturally means I'm a rice burner! What did I say, diversity scares the shit out of you. I was mostly referring to Vex when I wrote that post. every post I see him in is bashing against non-american cars. The others are cool, just not Vex. :rolleyes:

Diversity scares you. This means that any car on the road that isn't american must scare you since you have so much beef with them. I could really give a shit less what anyone drives. Let them drive whatever they want whether it be a rice burner or not.

[reptilian_storm]

Boosted, about this BIG GAY WING, you mentioned, i dont know why you mentioned but anyways....

Maybe this guy wants to drive his WRX fast, so adding a larger spoiler would aid the car at high speed. I agree, most these spoliers and wings are pointless on most cars. But they do actually serve a purpose, espcially when you tune a car to go faster than it was designed to go. You NEED more downforce than the stock spoiler will offer.

Ie. this callaway Vette (http://www.fantasycars.com/derek/cars/images/callaway/corvettelm_1.jpg) has a "BIG GAY WING" and without that "big gay wing" it would be much harder to corner at high speed.

Fast cars need downforce, simple as.

As for Civics with stock engines with huge spoilers, thats just stupid.

A few years ago on Top Gear, they tested the 1995 Corvette, they loved the engine and raw power, however they said somthing along the lines of "the worst handleing car we have tested to date". Maybe if they added a big gay wing it might have saved a few peoples lives.
Recent vettes are fine, no complaints they seem to have addressed the issues and from what ive read they now handle ok, with out the need for a spoiler.

[Disconnect This]

i love those morons. vex, angry, and boosted. they say the dumbest things ever. imo, most of those things should be used on family guy or something.

im a really big fan of wrx. i saw the new ones, and order a brochure on em. didnt get em yet. also, my neighbor has a regular ones. down white, and when ever he turns it on it roars. he takes care of it with great care. he usually has huge parties with some other guys, and he seems to be the ring leader :rolleyes:

anyways, you can look at that or the lancer evo...

for every single large FUNCTIONAL spoiler you find on a vette, I'll be able to find 10 on a ricer FWD ricer mobile. See certain cars..when modded to hell...need the extra DOWNFORCE on the WHEELS THAT DRIVE THE CAR. (In this case the rear wheels). So....I don't know what the big problem is...I see it's ugly but Callaway is an extremely impressive and not to mention EXPENSIVE car modification company. Did you know that they've actually improved the Chevrolet Corvette's aerodynamics? The same car that was developed by GM in a windtunnel for several months? Of course you didn't.

But back on task here, the STi's are aright. One of my friends (mustang GT)got toastest by a WRX with a turbo mod. They're definitely quick and there's a lot you can do with them with the large aftermarket options.

[reptilian_storm]

Vex thats basicly what i was saying. Cars much faster than stock need extra downforce. So not alll big gay wings serve no purpose.

What did I say that was dumb? I know more about cars than you do, bitch. I laid it out plain and simple for him. I even complimented the WRX. What the fuck did you add to this thread? "Yeah teh wrx ownz it rawrs when I heer 'em start it up buy teh evo kthx bye"


EVOs are cheaper, but they have rust problems, and I'd never own a mitsushitty vehicle. They are almost out of business and flirting with bankruptcy. For a jap car, they are very unreliable. The only good part about the EVO is the engine and turbo. Everything else around it will eventually rust lol. Have you seen all the threads on those cars? This rust problem also includes the eclipses (2G I think).


Regular WRX's aren't even fast. It's a good all around car though, but I guess you forgot I said that. :rolleyes:

WRX's are incredibly fast, they'll beat 80% of cars that cost twice their price.

LOL.


A regular wrx makes 227 hp, it runs solid 14s in the 1/4 mile, trapping around 94-96 mph. They cost over $22k.



A new nissan maxima/altima 3.5 v6 makes 255-265 hp, and runs low 14s to mid 14s consistently. New lexuses with the 300 hp V8s also run these times, and will outtrap the wrx. Mid 90s infiniti Q45's with their V8 will also run them down. Any V8 camaro/firebird from the last 10 years will also run down the wrx, and the '98+ ones will beat it by a full second and 10 mph in the 1/4, costing half the price. 99+ crustang GTs even run with them and will edge them out. Cobras from 8 years ago will beat them too. The wrx is quick, but only because of the awd launch. It's underpowered.


I think you're confusing it with the STI................300 hp and mid to low 13s out of the box, $32k. :confused:

[FatBastard]

angryredneck, as i´ve said before, those cars that you mention there would probably kick a WRX in a drag race, but if you put them on a track the situation would most likely be quite different...

the WRX is surprisingly fast on a track, which was proven last fall on a track-day where i was.
a young dude, that couldn´t drive for shit, kicked a corvette, camaro and a BMW328i(with mods) with his standard WRX... then again, it was a twisty track, so it´s superior grip really made a difference.

well, then again, the 600 hp skyline that participated, was to no-ones surprise just a tad faster than the WRX... :D

[Angryredneck]

If someone says "fast" though, it primarily means just all out power and speed................ex. "my car can do 150 in xxx seconds so it's faster than yours". Oh well.

[veXati0n]

yeah that's a cheap shot talking about a track. Speed is judged on the strip moreso than skill, whereas skill is judged on a track rather than the cars ability to go fast. This is the general agreement. I'm not saying in all cases but primarily, when someone asks how fast your car is, you don't fucking tell them I can run limerock in 4:24.02. No, of course not, you're 19sec @ 65mph.

:D

[FatBastard]

yeah, i see your points. here then again, the "cultural" difference between us here in finland and u is clear... as i mentioned before, the engine-mods in our cars are somewhat restricted, meaning that it´s hard to make a car legally fast in a straight line, if it isn´t that from the factory...(it is of course possible, but u seriously have to bend the rules a lot. oh, or use a light car, where small increases in power make a big difference in performance...)

then again, building the chassi isn´t restricted, so usually we here measure a fast car not only by it´s acceleration or top-speed, but also by it´s handling.(in other words, how fast it is/would be on the track)

then again, this maybe just me and my friends, but that´s how we see it.

well, if you wanna measure speed by acceleration, that´s fine by me. i´m not gonna argue on that, since i see your point, and understand it. i just hope u guys would see how i´m thinking... ;)

EDIT: oh, and i´m a proud owner of 90 wild korean horses at the moment, so i don´t race. at all... not even on a track... :rolleyes:

I ask this simpley because I own a 12 second pickup truck, ... yah that's right a 12 second quarter mile pickup truck.. I can haul your mothers fat sloppy ass in the back of it all the way to the local burger king... damn it even came stock with a Mitsubishi turbo on it ohhhhh what was that about "DIVERSITY" what do you have to show for it??

[Boostedpimp]

Vex thats basicly what i was saying. Cars much faster than stock need extra downforce. So not alll big gay wings serve no purpose.

This is true and I totally agree with you about the needing of a big wing for a modified car but the WRX has a monster wing on it to begin with man. Yes they handle decent but why go bigger? are you going to be testing the limits of a 140mph plus? Highly doubtfully right.

[Integra505]

damn, these are EXACTLY the kinds of posts I was trying to AVOID! Why must you ladies argue over this stuff? all these posts are OPINION! the whole "import vs domestic" argument is just stupid. Who frikkan cares! Cars are cars, and its all opinion! I'm not into camaros or mustangs, but I don't hate on people because of what they drive. it was their choice of what they wanted to buy, and if thats what they found to be the particular vehicle for them that thats their choice. And I agree that ricers in F&F Civics with huge wings are dumb, but it was their choice, to each their own!

Anyways, all I wanted was some insight into the pros/cons of a potential vehicle purchase! I drove it, and I loved it! I have friends who drive them, and they love them! the Sooby guys on the boards all love them! and of course the dealers are gonna tell the truth ( :rolleyes: ) about what might be a future expense on these cars. I'm just looking for insight, or personal experiences with these. So far, the only thing I have heard is that the tranny is the weakest point on the car.

BoostedPimp and the pros/cons post was helpful. EXCEPT, under "cons" you put something about the big payments, which aren't a big deal to me ("I'm rich, beyotch! *honk honk*" and its not mommie & daddies cash, I have a good job and am a resposible adult!), and my insurance payments will actually go DOWN! (AWD, ABS, airbags, and its a sedan!), and I won't have the big-ass wing, because I'm not getting an STi. That, and I hate big rice wings. The only reason they add downforce is because you have 20-40lbs of crap bolted to your trunk! You get the same effect with having bricks in the trunk!

But like I said, its all opinion, and to each his own.
Please, lets try and stick to the topic, and stop bickering.
Thanks! :D

EDIT: Also, I don't drag race, but would see track time at AutoX. The Integra I drive now is built for the twisties, and a FWD just isn't built for drag racing!

[Boostedpimp]

I'm glad my pros/cons post helped somewhat.. the payment thing was simply because most kids in deep on payments or what not.. most kids around my way have mommie and daddy to pay for the shit.. well im 24 and I too have a good job so more power to you.. and good luck with the new ride. They are nice cars like I said i drive my friends once in a while which is an sti and that wing is redicous weather your an import hater or lover.. so good move on that and the awd will kick ass around the cones :cool:

p.s. I was trying to contribute to your thread but cockriding asstoys keep starting shit.

[Integra505]

I think its funny that all the hicks come out and talk negative about imports all the time, and all the ricers fight back by talking trash about domestic vehicles! News flash: Hondas are built in Ohio! Mitsubishi's are from Illinois! Fords are built in Canada! VWs are built in Mexico! So technically... hehehe

Anyways... Can't we all just get along?

Please don't post if you aren't going to contribute to the thread and stay on topic..... Thanks!

VERY WEAK TRANSMISSIONS. Subaru is notorious for shitty trannys. My friend just dropped his tranny after a month of having the car. He never took it about 3500RPMS before he 1500 miles. when we finally got it to the mark we started opening the car up more. the car saw 2 high rev launches before the tranny went out. both of the launches were at 5 grand, 6800-7000 rpm redline. first launch was great, instant grip. a week later we did it again and *clink clink*. i immediately knew the tranny was gone. first was totally shot so i tried 2nd and it kinda worked, same for reverse. good thing we were like 100 yards away from his house so we didnt need to call a wrecker. all this is coming from a guy he loves imports, drove the WRX, black with no wing(useless and it cost extra). My personal opinion is that it was a fluke and i know not all WRX's are like. Every con thing stated above, except the wing part(thats just rice bashing), is totally on the nose. He was planning on getting a downpipe, full exhaust from Blitz(makes the most HP for little money, #1 seller b/c of it), and a boost controller. I told him to get a turbo timer instead of the controller to extend the life of the car but he thought that was a ghey idea.

What about me getting bashed with Deltron? I kinda left the boards for awhile for school and i just caught the little flame/war whatever you wanna call it, going on. I'll say right away that i havent read this entire thread so not sure why all the hating. How come i dont get any shit for liking imports much better than domestics?

[Boostedpimp]

Madmartigan


your an asshole.. imports are gay as fuck.. didn't i see you on the news getting your gay marrage thing on?

there.. feel better

[shade]

Ide say that the biggest con is that they are already turbocharged. So... it may have nice horsepower, but thats one less improvement you can do.

[Madmartigan]

very intelligent and mature of you to call me an asshole. I'm one b/c i used to want to take a smaller engine and get the most power i can with it? an engine with like 2.x liters something not a 6 or higher? b/c i want to have something other than GM or Ford? Fuck the imports that have tips and wings and stickers. the type that go to car shows like Texas Heat Wave. Traditional is boring. Making something go fast that has been done by millions of other people is boring. Look outside the box and make something different go fast. Who cares if still will only turn 12's? Thats why i like your syclone b/c no one remembers them, hence being different. from my experience, majority of owners tune them up instead of letting them be stock. If I had the money, my v6 93 camry would become the worlds fastest street legal camry. Who the fuck has seen a fast camry? no one, b/c they're not meant to go faster than going to the grocery store. the majority of the parts would have to be custom made too, so lots of trial and error would occur. Granted, all the civics, eclipses, focus', and every other import/domestic with just an exhaust and intake are gay b/c there is no reason to do any work to your car if that's all you're gonna do. I am not saying I hate domestics either, i would just rather have an import. The new 05 Mustangs coming out have extremely impressive numbers but the styling has grown on me yet. I highly dislike the Dodge Magnum, I personally think they should've brought back the Charger or worked on a new design for the F bodies. But fast cars don't have the same effect on me anymore. Being older, i'm much more into styling and the luxury of a car, in which all imports rule over domestics and . However, I like how Cadillac is trying new things, new direction in design. Especially the XLR and the CTS-V, so it will be fun watching what will evolve from caddy.

It comes down to this for me, if you say imports are gay and have no reason at all, you are ignorant, unitelligent, uneducated, stubborn, and are closed minded with no imagination.

[Boostedpimp]

[QUOTE=Madmartigan][QUOTE]


dude.. i agree with your post chill

i too love being different which is why i always dreamed of and now own a syclone.. your right about 95% of these trucks are highly modified or totally not stock.. i'd say about 30% of them have been wrecked or theft recoveries.. so im kinda happy i own and race soemthing that most don't know about or even seen on the street you know. A guy down the road from me owns a pontiac fiero with a buick gn engine/trans.. the thing is insane and totally custom.. which is why i love it so no need to explain yourself on here man.

[Madmartigan]

well that post is my reason for liking imports over domestics. so take it as you will.

[pat99872]

this is a sweet car. my friends has one and i drove it once. the thingg is like glued to the road when u turn compared to my nissan sentra

also got nice acceleration ;)

i give it a 10/10

How come i dont get any shit for liking imports much better than domestics?



that's why i called you an asshole bro

No, it's better this way. All motor 4 and 6 cyls often have too high compression. Cars that come with a turbo are ready for basic bolt ons that do wonders for the car.......

Just so happens i own a wrx. When choosing this car i took a lot of cars into consideration.

03 z06
03 svt cobra
03 svt lightning
EVO 8
STi
WRX

My price range was about 30,000 give or take a few. But if your looking for a car to shoot you through the straight line then get yourself an american car, its that simple if you want a car to go fast in a straight line there is no replacement for a american muscle. But i never really liked the idea of just goig straight, i like curves where im pushed in my seat in all different directions not just pushed back.

So that gets rid of the cobra, lightning.

Then i had to make another choice which made a lot of difference, i needed it to have AWD, cause this car isn't gonna just sit in the garage during the winter, its gonna have to see some snow. And if you try driving a 400+hp RWD car in the snow, well its not fun at all.

Leaving the WRX, the STI and the EVO 8.
to tell you the truth i would buy an evo 8, IF mitsubishi was a better comopany.(for example if you registered your evo8 at a SCCA event they will put your car on a list that has their waranty automaticaly voided). Clutches are complete crap in this car, people have em going out as soon as 15,000 miles and even the car i test drove the clutch was already slipping.

No more evo 8, leaving the wrx and sti

Well these are 2 great cars. Sti is a greaty amount more expensive then the wrx, 6-7k (you can pick up a 04wrx for about 22,000 from a dealer)

My opinion on the wrx - good not the fastest of the bunch. Seats are alright, handling is descent.

My opinon on the STi - very fast, handling is very good. the '05 have a very nice interior, dash has a pretty good design.

I would of picked the STI if my insurance wasn't crazy with it, thats basically the only reason i didn't pick the STi over the wrx. To tell you the truth i woulda went with a used z06 out of all the cars i listed IF i didn't have to drive through the rain/snow. The wrx is a great car for me and i dont think i could of picked any other car for what i need it for, and its moded a lot (315awhp on 93 pump, im getting it tuned for racing gas soon and will probably make around 340awhp)

I didn't read any of this thread other tahn the first 2 or 3 post..

WRX are overall decent.

I wouldn't think a WRX would be better than a Z06 on the track. The Z06 is one of the fastest stock cars in the world, and one of the best handling stock cars in the world. WRX are good in the Quarter mile due to the it's awesome AWD launch....If I were you, and had an Integra, and looking at a WRX, I would go ahead and pick one up...an STi though. Simply upgrade the turbo, with a few more mods...easily a 11-12sec car, depending on turbo. I drive a domestic, I love domestics...but I'm not biased. :)
