Great cars!!! I thought about getting one for a daily driver, but that didn't pan out.

I like that feeling from 1,500 RPM's. :evillol:
I got a thing for torque.

I just got my car running right tonight (plugs and wires were BADLY needed). The boost builds to full stock levels and I can now cut the tires loose no problem, can't wait to get a new downpipe and turn up the boost!

you wouldnt like a rotary engine car then.
because they are torqueless at low rpms.

Thourun are you serious? At stock levels I think I chirped my tires once shifting to 2nd. I can dump the clutch on a turn and break loose. But in a straight line, NEVER, even dumping it at 6k. You might want to check your tires, as you shouldn't be able to do that.

Yea round little corners (couldent do it before), and one of my tires dosent hold much pressure, only about 25psi but that should be ok after I get the rims fixed... I'll probably need a new tire though since it looks slightly damaged where the rim is bent, nothing to worry about though and they're cheep proxies I think... brand new though.

Yeah I generally run 38-30psi up front and 32-35 in the rear for normal driving. So 25 is definantly low and will wear down your tires significantly faster. I've had my fair share of bent and busted rims though...so I know how it is.

That's got to be fun with all that boost. But, if you think that's fun, ride in my friends 2001 WRX Cobb Tuned coupe. Yep, that's right COBB TUNED. 1 of 16 made he said, which is more than likely true. Also, being certified by BMW to work on their cars and being able to drive really well helps.

I thought Subaru hasn't made a coupe since the early 90s?? Maybe it's different in the USA....but are you saying it's a MY2001 WRX tuned by Cobb? Because there is no MY01 Coupe WRX.

All I know is that it is a 2001, which means it was produced in 2000, a coupe, and has the Cobb Tuned badge on it.

might have been an impreza 2.5 or something.
impreza's could have been coupes from its induction until the last year of production of the GC chassis, model year 2001.
there was no wrx in the us until my02.

You know what's funny, we've had the WRX since the first ones i.e. 93ish. And when the 2.5L STi come out, do we get it? NO! There's gonna be a 2.5L WRX next year too, do we get it? NO! Grrr! lol

not even japan has the 2,5L sti, so dont feel too bad.

the 2.5 makes up for the US being WRX-less for 10 years

No, I feel sorry for YOU guys! :p Having a 2.5L STi is a lemon! It's not sticking to it's 2L rally roots!

Then again, it's not like the STi sticks to the WRC car's specs, it has a TMIC instead of a FMIC like the WRC car :disappoin

too bad the japanese 2.0 STi's are still faster then the 2.5 STi's. the j spec ones runs on average 12.6 in the 1/4 stock. and they handle better too. the spec C is hte fastest 2.0 in the world right now. ( that does not include the FQ400 because thats not a real factory car )
