    Anyone driven the '06 WRX 2.5L ?

    Now that's a point I ignored. The was a blast in the snow--better than my old Jeep Wrangler up to about 6". The more throttle you gave it in a turn, the more it dug in and pulled you through. That said, given that we only get snow from December through February in Maryland (and not much at...

    What's everybody paying for an 06?

    GT Premium. $500 over invoice. Ordered in February of '05, didn't get it until September of '05 (first run of the '06 model year).

    Anyone driven the '06 WRX 2.5L ?

    For a response from the other end of the spectrum, I suggest you hit the www.nasioc.com forums. Great source of information and a great community. Anyone who thinks that any Japanese car is "rice" has not hung with the Subie crowd. Heck, I still frequent the boards for the suspension forum...

    Anyone driven the '06 WRX 2.5L ?

    As my name implies, I got rid of my '04 WRX to get the Mustang GT (had for two years). I have absolutely no regrets. I recently drove a friend's '06 WRX and another friend's '05 STi, so I feel I have a good base for comparing the old WRX to the new, and to the Mustang. Here's my brief take...

    Steeda sport springs

    Check Ebay. SPC makes some, as well as Eibach (I have the Eibach version and they appear to be identical to the SPC's--just cost 10 bucks more). Here you go: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SPC-2005-Ford-Mustang-front-camber-kit-SVT-Cobra_W0QQitemZ8034103004QQcategoryZ33581QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    An Update on this Project 11/SEC N/A

    What exhaust are you planning on, and what type of gains do you expect from it? Also, are you putting headers in?

    GT pinging on 87 octain

    Try a hard reset of your computer--unhook battery, press brake pedal to drain residual power in system. Rehook battery. Not sure how much "learning" the new system is capable of, but since it has a knock sensor it probably adjusts timing a bit. If the car was running on 93, more than likely...

    My Engine is Out of My Car...All of the threads

    Hopefully you are going to tell us they are giving you a new Mustang? :nice: Now that would be great news and definitely regain my confidence in Ford (the '05 Mustang will be my first Ford vehicle...). Glad your ordeal is ending on a positive! :banana:

    13.2 @ 104...

    *Great* run!! :hail2: What were your shift points? Now that plenty of dyno results have been posted, it seems pretty clear that torque starts to dive at 4500rpms and horsepower flattens at 5000rpms. Seems like shifting between 5000 and 5500 might give the best results???

    Painted Blackout (between taillights) Completed

    Very nice. I like the gloss black. Subtle mod that blends so well it looks stock (well, special edition stock! ;) )

    My Engine is Out of My Car...All of the threads

    Get everything in writing from them, and send them everything via certified mail. This accomplishes two things--it sets up your paper trail if you have future problems with the car; and it lets them know that you are taking this very seriously (and are starting a paper trail in case of future...

    Side Airbags

    I will be getting them. Even front/rear impacts are usually not perfectly perpendicular impacts. There is often going to be some sideways vector, resulting in your noggin' smacking the side of car. For the price, it is tough to justify not getting them.

    Import Guy Considers Defection!

    As another WRX owner (Cobb tuning stage 2), I'll chime in. I'm happy with my WRX, but have decided that 1) I don't like turbo lag at all, even the minor lag on my setup; and 2) I want more confidence in my drivetrain (the WRX is *not* built for aggressive driving). I haven't had time to test...

    Why high power V8's are better.

    I follow the WRX forums pretty closely (as a WRX owner, soon to be 2005 Mustang GT owner!) and I seem to recall that one or two guys have tried a twin turbo setup. *Very* pricey since it is all custom work. Seems like lately there has been more of a push for the twin scroll setup (single...

    05 mustang owner age check

    :lol: __STi__, if you are going to call someone ignorant, try to do it with correct grammar. Otherwise your (or is it you're...bwahaha) point is lost in the laughter.

    Sound Clip - 05 Mustang with JBA long tubes

    Now that's what I'm talkin' about!! This is exactly how a Mustang should sound. Very nice.

    Aluminum shifter surround?

    Haven't seen any yet, but with the IUP, this interior is begging for a nice aluminum shifter boot surround. Any idea if vendors will be offering one?

    I'm 34 and will be ditching my WRX for a GT in a few months.
