Back in the Game
 
Been out of the game for a few years, but now I'm back. Sup Old Folk. And new blood. Hopefully I can keep this one mildly stock :)

WRB FTW :)

Seems like for a while WRB wasn't as big, but looks like there's a lot with the new models.

Welcome back dude. It's a much much nicer vehicle than us o.g.'s are used to. I will say this though... it needs sway bars and a charge pipe.

KurleeDaddeeWRX 01-21-2019 07:18 PM

Thanks guys.

OneManArmy, yes I am very impressed with the suspension of this WRX in stock form. The little electronic knick knacks are pretty cool as well.

The thing I cant get my head around is how the stock turbo falls flat on its face at 4500 rpms. Its maddening. I wonder if a tune will help that out at all.

And a charge pipe is the j-pipe right?

Welcome. Nice ride!

OneManArmy 04-21-2019 09:15 PM

Even Cobb stg 1 helps that. Its odd

Nice!

I am also about to jump back in after a couple year hiatus (tried a GolfR for a couple years...).

My 16 was great car. Stage 1 is a must, as the stock tuning is garbage. Nameless has the best sounding exhaust IMHO. I put 30k on mine in 2 years and it had zero issues.

Cheers!

Jumped back on the Subaru game as well. Sold my 04 STi and picked up a 05 Wagon. AWD turbo FTW!

I picked up an 04 WRX last year too. Using it as the daily now, but its already got almost full STI suspension underneath. I think I just need the lateral links.

Sweeeet! Love the Blobeyes! I'm slowly working on mine. As much as I miss my 04 STi, my wagon appeases the need for AWD turbo ahaha
