my TRZ poly is for sale. i had it on for 200 miles. coming from softer cars, i'm not a fan of the vibes at all. the performance gain is huge, though. e-mail me: midgarr30@gmail.com.

that choice depends on your tastes and budget. the MKIV R32 can be found for approx $25k w/ 20-40k miles. it's definitely a solid car. but it has some "flaws." the MKV R32 is good for people who want a larger, better chassis'd vehicle (compared to the MKIV) and who can stand the automatic...

i too came from a vw. an R32. (had a wolfsburg jetta 1.8T before that). the mazda may have a little less refinement than the VW's. but you get enough refinement and plenty more performance. the MS3 is quite an incredible performance car. never have i taken corners so fast with a FWD car...

imo, the white looks good. the piano black looks awful. i've owned a white car in a the past (a pearl slightly-off-white audi) and it got dirty very quickly. however, once cleaned, it was a bombshell knockout.

i had a previous gen R32 for a while. that was a wonderful car, but the performace for the money was sad. i've driven the new R32 and I like it in some ways, but not in other ways. the DSG tranny is overrated imo. i'm a big fan of low-end torque as the R32 has, but the DSG tranny doesn't let...

I drove the new EVO and STI. car and driver's comparo (w/ the vw R32 as well) is spot on. the only thing i want to add to that is how unimpressed i was with the STI's interior. if i had to choose between the EVO and STI, it would be the EVO based on an incredible performance tool. include...

it's completely random

Hey there. I figured this to be an electrical issue. I have an 08 MS3 w/ 4k miles and since I bought her new, the tire pressure warning light will blink for about 10-15 seconds and then become solid for about 30 seconds before the light turns off. this has happened 3 times so far. after the...

I didn't come straight from a subaru, but I used to have a 2004 white STI, silver wheels. no mods at all. quick story why it's gone: i parked it outside my office back in 2004. the parking space was at the base of a hill. at the top of the hill (about 50 feet high elevation) was a...

Has anyone tried/heard/seen reviews for this exhaust. I'd love to hear what it sounds like given the fact that it is one of the smaller diameter exhausts. in my experience in tuning, i have found the smaller diameter exhausts to have the more visceral sounds; more to my liking. it can be...

nah, 335i. the 335 starts around $39k. i'm sure i could find a nice used one for around $36k, ha. the 135i will be along the same base price as the STI, maybe a grand more or so. either way. i'm plenty happy with the MS3 bang for the buck. plus, i'd go with our interior 10/10 times over...

i just spit out my coffee when i saw the front and rear seats. subaru, seriously now, what the hell? i'm sure it's a blast to drive and it sounds nice. but, the dealerships around my area are asking $36k for a completely base STI. honestly, if i'm spending that much, i'll go for another...

audi's and vw's

sounds good. i have the delrin poly and TWM SS coming my way. i ordered both today. that'll add to the cobb sri i have too. this car is by far the most fun and least expensive car to tune.
