you didn't address the fact that YOUR puny 2.5L car doesn't sound anything at all like a worked turbo Scoob

My RS sounds mean IMO. cams, headwork, LW FW, EL headers, etc. Sounds like a racecar....But not a V8. don't get me wrong, though. I LOVE the sounds that subarus make.

Lound ass V8 and big motors don't really do it for me. I like the spaceship noises that you get from Japanese tuner cars.

Maybe it's because I work in a shop where 99% of what I do is American V8 muscle+ and I don't get to play with imports as much as I would like. I'm tired of Mustangs

lol why is this still in the hot links section?

Surprised he's still using a Subaru rear. I thought even the R180s had a hard time staying in one piece when stock STIs had the center diff eliminated. This would make a badass project for my SVX.

Not a fan. Looks kinda pretty with it all painted up like that, was clearly a lot of work and clever fabrication, but to me that sounds like absolute shit. That engine is NOT running smooth, and does NOT sound good. Thumbs down from me.

Interesting... I've ridden in an LS1 RX-7 and an LS1 944, and both make sick power. Another friend has a turbo LS1 RX-7 but I haven't ridden in his yet. Remote turbo sounds amazing.

I would consider this in my RS

Noticing a lack of tolerance (for things that aren't subaru) on this site

would u expect any better treatment towards your subaru/modified subaru from the domestic car forums? uhh....hell no, most of them rip the hell out of anybody that doesn't drive american...no worries though, they are a dying breed

I got to agree with 01imprezaL
domestic car dudes do not appreciate imports
instead they liken to call all of us ricers
