This car is a cheapo econobox. The sheet metal is way thin, every trim/door panel/visor is plastic, and not much deadening to be had anywhere. No way its gettin the DD's, it would probably rattle apart //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Too pricey, too heavy, not enough power

Mostly too pricey though, was trying to go cheaper this time around

Let me know how that goes and get a vid of outside the car if you can. I honestly would like a little bass and some new door speakers because the stock wrx stereo in the 09's sucks balls. I don't really want to add weight or rattles though :/

whats the cost diff?? i guess the new ones are prolly pretty pricey... BUT... have you ever driven/ been in one... that little sucker moves!

i was looking at the r32's, those new ones are overpriced and slower than a wrx.

I'll try to grab some pics of the interior today, not bad looking, as for feel like I said before almost every panel in it is hard plastic.

MSRP on the wrx was 25600, msrp on the R32's from what I've seen is in the 33k+ range //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

I try to not test drive things I can't afford, no sense getting to like something I can't have //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

not really sure what to show for interior, here are some crappy pics of the guage cluster, dash, and what a 99% plastic door panel looks like:

Well the car is in for the stage 2 and e85 conversion. Stock baseline dyno run was done, 200hp and 210tq at the wheels. I hate the air up here at this altitude //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Hopefully the work gets me some good gains
