MSM to WRX...

[Gaboost]

Here is a couple pics of my new 06 WRX TR. I traded the msm for it, reasons being I needed something more practical, and the impreza rides 100x better on these crap roads here. The miata was a very fun car, this car can't touch the handling of the mx-5, but power is a different story. It feels just as fast stock, but once this thing gets a turboback exhaust and tune it'll be no contest.

*waits for "should have bought a ms3" comments lol, no discount on those yet here, the wrx was about 23k.

welcome to the AWD family. You wont go back unless you mod too much and need a DD like me.

I sware I boought the evo becouse it WAS more practical now it only gets driven for fun.

Slick new ride. Gorgeous color. Congrats on the purchase!

I'm surprised that it doesn't feel faster than your MSM stock for stock.

I thought about trading my miata for a WRX, until I got an insurance quote.

Thanks for the nice comments, I like it alot so far. Some people say the 06 front end is ugly or pig like, I bought it for the 2.5L and front 4 pot calipers not the styling, which I think really isn't that bad.

The miata ran a best of 13.9 in the 1/4 so it was pretty quick for what is was. With a couple mods on this I hope to see low 13s or high 12s.

GACC accepted a srt-4(jk kevin), so a wrx should be alright also lol. I want to autox, but I'm afraid I may suck at it. Looks fun watching it however.

Seriously?

My MSM, when stock, was considerably faster than a stock WRX from a roll. From a dig, the WRX had the advantage until about 3rd gear.

Of course, my MSM dynoed 161 RWHP bone stock, which is higher than the average (150-155RWHP).

A good number of MSM's have a leaky BPV which causes a pretty significant drop in power.

white is always my fave subie color

 

[Blackrose]

Nice ride. Not a fan of white but you are not here to please me. Besides nothing will ever be sexier than my black SVX.

Subbies rock.
