Underneath the '08 WRX...

...it looks strange underneath one of these.

I shot ~16 photos this afternoon when they showed up at our dealership, and were still on the truck. Interesting how the headers wrap completely around that darn oil filter...and there's not undertray to speak of on this body design.

I'll post photos when I get home.

Either the first of never, or sometime next February, whichever comes first!!



The answer depends on if anyone would like to have a track day at Infineon for the introduction of the STi and the showing off of what the aftermarket can do with the '08 WRX.

You make sure you and every other owner mentions it when they see Mike Gobin, Regional DSM for Subaru of America on Sunday at Hammy. If he gets tired of hearing it, he'll help us all make sure it happens. If he never hears it, then he probably won't bother putting forth the effort.
