Not really fanboi foxxy stealth.....I'd race if the sti would take out that cheating turbo and go n/a vs. n/a....who do you think will get raped then captain genious???

 

cheating turbo haha you're great, you sound like a musclecar driving dragracer.

 

yeah and my muscle is an 8 with intake exhaust and pulleys.

 

yeah that all must have added 3whp tops

 

sure buddy,,, They added over 100whp as I am using the tornado along with my ebay super chipped....you don't want to mess boi!!!

 

lol u r weak i have a quad tornado setup, the chain reaction of vortexes makes a super hyper whirl hurricane of tightly bonded molecular oxygen cells which gives me way more than your measly underdrive pulleys

 

turbo

 

There's a guy in town that has an STi and works as a delivery driver for Quiznos. So, if you're ever in the area and need a toasted sub FAST, that's the place to call.

Anyone remember those Quiznos commercials with those weird singing creatures? We love these subs! Man, those were awesome.

 

STi's have factory turbos with WARRANTY. Turbo 8's are just as fast but you're on your own if it the 13B blows up.

 

Ya but everyone knows an STI is fast. No one expects a 13 second 8.

 

I think we all did when they first came out.

 

Like you, I don't want to put up with winter tires' poor handling during fair weather. So I run Continental ContiExtreme 245/40/18 all-seasons during winter months and summer tires the rest of the year.

Only during one *really* bad storm did I have any trouble (when I had to stop on a steep icy uphill). Took me a minute to get it going again. Putting it in perspective, I saw many other cars stuck and/or off the road during that storm.

So, you can run ultra high performance all-season tires on the RWD RX8 in winter (in hilly New England, no less).

 

Pasting this from main forum.
The 2004 RX-8 has many problems according to consumer reports. It received a poor rating in Fuel and Ignition, which include:
Fuel: Fuel injection, computer and sensors, fuel pump, tank, emissions controls, "check engine" light.
Ignition: Spark plugs, coil, distributor, electronic ignition, sensors and modules, timing.
The 2005 received excellent in all categories except paint/trim, where it received a very good.

 

Uhhh, thanks for the info? Was this post in response to anything in particular?

 

Damn man... that is hilarious. I'm trying to read this at work and not end up ROFLMAO

 

Huh? The Imprezza wagons look like ***. Always have for me. actually... I've just about never liked the looks of the Imprezza. The Legacy on the other hand... I've loved just about every generation of them... each one better looking than the last. Both sedan and wagon...

The Evo wagon... I'd buy one of those. I sat in one at the Tokyo Motorshow and liked it. Ergonomics... well mitsubishi's interior sucks. Interior quality... not so bad at all... all leather in that car... it was really nice.

 

Haha, those are the best! When you have to fight back the laughter cause you're at work or something. This forum has been a great source of many moments like that for me.

 

huh right now it seems i have to disagree with you on absolutely everything and not because im trying to be but because i honestly think the opposite of all of your opinion. the impreza wagon looks great, the imprezas in general are great, peaking at the GC8 platform. the legacy as always been a bland piece of crap, with the exception of the really cool new ones(wow one time we're agreeing) and the evo wagon just looks terrible, the proportions are not sporty at all, and i happen to like the interiors of the current evolutions, very driver oriented, although i still prefer an rx7 or a car where you're more one with the car...hard to say though because that's all personal preference.

 

I think those Evo wagons look like Volvos a little bit. You know it's not even worth arguing about it though since Evo wagon production was limited to the JDM. Only 3.5k units were produced IIRC before the production run ended.

 

...just a little bit?

 

This forum is so friggin hilarous.

Enjoy this flying monkey as a reward!

 

These posts are why this whole forum is just getting rediculous lately...a bunch of 17 year olds putting on body kits and adding subwoofers to their 8s that whine and cry that a car that basically costs the same (STi or EVo) is MUCH faster than the RX-8 (of course they must bash the looks of the faster cars 1st though.) The STi is and will always be faster than the current gen RX-8. It is just a fact. The turbo is not "cheating" it is how the car was DESIGNED! Yeah, go ahead and spend $10,000 on a uber-fast high HP turbo setup for your 8. And you will still get pwned by a 600-700 All-wheel HP STi or EVO that spent WAY less than you...man I am sick of people like this on these boards. Kinda make me wish I kept my STi. NASIOC is a good place to browse and not deal with this ignornace.

 

According to these guys, the 2006 STI is faster in every way than the EVO IX.

I find it interesting because this is the first comparison test that I have seen where they have chosen (and had better numbers with) the STI over the EVO.

edit: Faster in every way, marginally worse braking though.

 

Yeah that article was one of a kind. Everything before it and after it seems to like the Evo.

 

0-60 in 4.5 and 13.0@103.5 is pretty damn good though.
