So I figured Id post some pics of the wrx... Nothing special, just some home built, self wrenched, road/race fun. I love this car. It's fun, fast, loud (custom cut-out) and has full suspension....

Nice car! I gotta ask though, what is with the 3 foot shift lever??

vipernj

haha, common question! Its for road racing. The leverage it gives you is unbelieveable. I can pretty much nudge it on a 3-4 shift and it'll throw itself into gear. It's hard to believe until you actually try it, which is what sold me on it... You get a much better feeling of control, and it's completely removeable

Did you have to get a short shifter after you got that extension on your shifter?

vipernj

yeah ive always had a short throw shifter. i got the rally shifter to try it out and ended up loving it

Fulani has a TL

nice subie!!!

Crazy Bimmer

nice ride!

Are those tires the right sizes on the bronze set?

vipernj

haha good eye! nope, they're stretched cause the ones that came with the wheels were potenza RE92's (crap tires). So i threw what I had on...

STL+3.0CL

Nice! I like the bumper sticker too. Upgraded brake setup?

vipernj

Subaru 4 pots with SS lines and motul fluid.... nothing special cause I didnt want to spend $2.5k on a setup haha.

Nice Subie!

What all are you running boost/engine wise? I see the FMIC peeking at me.

Blazin Si

It's also so you don't have to move your hand as far away from the steering wheel to shift. I've always wanted to get a shifter like that.

The car looks good. Have fun with it.

nice man nice

Nice Subie.....

Join the crowd, there are some more of us on here. And I bet 400HP with that light of a car is a bit quick. What kind of tires are on it? I have Bridgestone RE050A's and they are pretty sticky.

GIBSON6594

Nice, I'm up in Rockland pretty often. I'll keep my eyes and ears open for you

mattg

nice car. why does it say GT30R in your sig?

I didn't think you could make 400whp w/ an 18g.

vipernj

the gt30r's exhaist housing cracked 3 days ago, so as of now its got a clipped 18g. i made 399whp with the 30r... I think if I dynoed now I'd make around 350whp? right now its road tuned on map 4 because I havent made it out to mspt

what are you running? that leggy looks sweet.

vipernj

the re050's are MUCH better of a tire. I was trying to find a set off of an sti or something but couldnt. the re92's are garbage

stangg172004

i was gonna run those but i decided to run direzza star specs, tire rack had a special and a rebate. how are they?

vipernj

the re050s are great once there hot. The first lap or two on a track should do the trick.

incredulous1

beautiful subie!

loulinjai

I like that Z even more...very nice cars!

dBski11

that shifter looks like a lot of fun

mrmako

Once hot, they grab like a German grabbing a bier at a fest. Very nice summer tire but they are expensive ($215 each @ tire rack, 215/45-18)...

I saw your avatar in another thread and was just curious on the setup... Truth is the tilt steering wheel was what really made me curious since I am in the market for one

DTM-style shifter FTW...

Nice subie, have you thought about getting a beefier exhaust? at least the tips?
