Re:Bought a WRX today.... suckaaaa
Ha, those STi chops were done by someone here in Ottawa. He does a lot of work with local car pics.
On to the WRX, that's a package with a lot of potential but you should do a lot of research before modding it up. Unlike a D16 or even a B series you can't get a new motor from the local grocery store and parts are quite expensive compared to hondas.
I can't wait to get my STi running again... For now I'm getting an old school legacy turbo and throwing the STi heads on it.

Re:Bought a WRX today.... suckaaaa
well the sti spanks the wrx. lol.
also, just up the boost to about 15.5 and go with it. i think the estock fuel cut off is like 17 psi. lol. also, dont ever get a fucken utec piggyback. worst pos. no point when a safc2 will do the job better and withoiught giving you headaches.
plus upgrade the fuel system. imean its a real priority in wrx's, cus it tends to run lean on #3 and some ---- like that.
