Talking Saw an S202 on the road today!

Dude, those are awesome! I saw a new Legacy S404 the other day...

I would love an S202

I also examined in detail a new STi. Not too impressed with the looks. It looks so front heavy. We watched a video on TV though, and I guess that the understeer problem (Has been plagueing Imprezas for years) is totally gone!

I am strongly considering trying the twin scroll turbo setup. I am interested to see what kind of gains that it may yield.

Oh, and one more thing. It does look like the new fenders, head lights, hood, and bumper will "Bolt on", but I am not so impressed with the looks after seeing one up close and personal. Gotta love that darned instrument cluster, and wheel though! Those were really nice changes.

I am pretty sure that the only changes made to the frame geometry were in the subrame,,,that is what I gather from the Hyper Rev. Therefore, we can bolt up a new subframe to our rides, and have the same handling benefit!

I will test it out...be back on Tuesday...Joe...the suby_dude, I am still going to call you about our deal...honestly, I can't wait!

See y'all soon!

I wonder how much all that would cost Along with that 6MT, it might be better just to get an STi when it comes out and bolt-on the old buy-eyes for the best of both worlds
