2004 WRX Turbo

 

SICK!! Fun, fun, fun!!!

 

I bet i can blow it up within 5 miles

 

anyone in their right mind wouldnt put that past you Andy!!!

 

you pussed out and didn't get the STi

 

I want a old rotary turbo car

 

If you want to call it Pussing out... then yes... $$$$$$$ Its just a commuter... I am into Sport bikes... Dont really see the point in sticking a bunch of cash into a car thats still going to be slower than my stock bike

I have 3 bikes in my Garage... dont really have the need for speed out of a cager

 

ahahahaha!!!!

sick car matt, your gonna love it, the best thing about the car is, it's good for any style of driving.

but you should of got the sti

 

dont call me if you blow his up

 

nah, no you dont. those rotary motors are only good for 40k miles tops. growin up i had a buddy whose family was in love with RX-7s so i got to see this first hand for years.

 

matt, i'll trade you my sti foglight covers for yours????? hahaha
we can actually swap a lot of parts

 

gotta agree, becca was looking at a few rx-7's for a drift car, i did some quick research and found quickly it wasnt the car for us

 

40k sounds good to me
I want to build the motor myself and just have as a project. I know a couple of guys here in town that are pushing 800+hp

 

I got it for 10k with 60k miles on it... Didnt really want to spend another 6k for the STi ... Like I said its just a commuter. I was trying to find out which cars got good gas mileage, and held their value the longest, and the WRX's was at the top of the list... With cars being horrible investments, I went with one that wasnt as bad as most.

I do agree its a fun car to drive, and its hard to stay off the gas. I doubt i will mod it much... I went through that phase with my Eclipse GSX it was fun, but not worth the bang for the buck, and was a huge Money pit... not that stunting isnt!

 

keep in mind when you say "build the motor" is not like you can just throw some forged rods and pistons in there, its a rotary motor.




they are good for some serious horsepower but im tellin you after 40k miles on one of those engines its no good anymore. cant just "rebuild" it.
there was a guy around here that ran a site called "RX7.com" and he had a few 10 second cars coming out of his shop, they ran and looked sick, until they died.


you should just build up a LS-1 and drop it in something. those are good for 650+ all motor with some goodies.

 

This thread got me thinking of my last AWD Turbo car...

Heres a few pic of the extreme I took it to.

 

Hers a pic of the bike I learned to stunt on... It didnt look like this once it got here... I used to really take looks to the extreme:

 

When did you learn to stunt?

 

you can still have a sick daily driver, the STi would have held it's value just fine!!!!

 

yup they hold their value well... I just didnt want to spend the extra cash... maybe one day I will get an STi and pimp it out... but all the mods kinda take away from its reliability


and that was the key to this purchase
