It never bothered me. Hell, the $2000 factory replacement glass in my SVX was worse. It's just not perfect glass. For all we know, the more expensive stuff isn't much better even though it should...

The difference is usually in the quality of the glass. The cheap glass tends to be made in china stuff that makes the world look a little bit wavy. Probably not a big deal on a car that's going...

I stand corrected... it appears that back in 2011 the WRX redesign was intended to to make the car more competitive. Whether or not that's the reality, we'll see when the car is out because...

Yeah, if I remember correctly, I had drawn bunnies and hearts and moons on the drive-shaft to exorcise the bad-juju from the car. After all, a car can't be evil and break all the time with bunnies...

I guess I should have said "there are enough penises drawn on the parts of the car you can't see, I don't need them on the fender as well". :lol:

First, I haven't seen anywhere that the WRX redesign is "for motorsports". Best I can tell, the redesign is to sell more cars by making it sportier looking. Subaru's involvement in Rally is...

The current rear-end is better than a McStrut, geometry-wise. And the current cars all have unit-hubs. That doesn't stop the hubs from failing more often than the press-in hubs did.

Ideally,...

I thought you were still commuting, which makes it hard for you to just drop by my place if it means waiting around Reno until I'm home from the office. If you're in town, it should be a lot easier...

I think I've got the one out of my WRX. I've also got most (maybe all) of the lines. Just no compressor.

It's been in a box for like the last 5 years. I'd be happy to take $50 for it.

I really jacked up the saturation and exposure in photoshop so they all look a little hyper-realistic. The original pictures are far more "car in front of a concrete wall" looking. :lol:

I think it's related to the new intake manifold the 08's got. The whole intake tract was revised, and there are apparently gains to be had.

I'm leaving my OBXT intake bone stock though. Even if...

I believe the intake is good for 10-15hp on the '08 WRX after going stage 2. At least Matt told me that regarding my '09 OBXT which has the same motor.
