Cool Wife's 2.5 RS and my WRX, What do you think?

Hello folks here are a few pics of the wifes 2001 RS and my 2004 WRX.

Hers has about everything we could get under the hood, Pulleys, Intake, Torque chip, etc etc. Wheels are Racing dynamic 18's.

Mine has the Vishnu stage one kit, Turbo XS boost control, Snorkelectomy, Tein springs, Short shift kit, wheels are also 18 racing dynamic. I had to paint them myself to get the color i wanted.

Cheers mates, off to hunt down some STI's and Z06's

Does your wife's car have Altezzas? Do those rims rub? Both cars are nice but not really my style.

Yes hers has the clear tail's. They look nice on the white but i like the stock on my red one.

The 18" rims do not rub. Her's is running 215/40/18 tires. Mine now has 235/40/18.

I run my car in the SCCA Solo 2 and have had no tire rub problems. Also getting ready to compete in USACi for sound Quality, truly multi use cars.

Eh, JDM tails look tons better than those IMHO. I used to have that same deck, it got stolen. It was a sweet deck, girls loved the sliding face. What exhaust is on the RS? Glad you two are enjoying your cars.

Both cars look tight, except for the altezzas on the GC8.

what springs are you using on your WRX?

The RS looked good until you showed the picture of the back....Only thing I don't care for on them is the tails on the RS and the stickers on both but my feeling is that it is your car do what you want just not things I would do to mine..But I have a spot in my heart for the GC8...Love that body style..

Thanks for the comps,

Most of the stickers are for sponsors in the Audio field, Diald and D-tronics gear in the Rex.

The Hyper Cars ones are to promote our store once we get it up and running again. Competing against the net was harder than it appeared but we will have a web site soon hopefully.

One of the great things about this hobby is everyone likes there own thing, If the better half wants a yellow poker dot paint job, all one can say is oki doki.


Cheers mates.

I love the San Remo red WRX, looks sexy Only those gleaming white stickers dont float my boat, but still, I can understand. I wont comment however on the GC8, because that would just be flat out trolling ;]
