I don't blame you! Nasioc has gone down the TUBE in the last couple of years. Noobfest! Ever since the WRX started changing hands for less than 10 grand, the place just blew up. so sad.

So it isn't just me....I use to frequent NASIOC in 03-05 and the forums were GLORIOUS..... then it just got weird. I don't know how to explain it.

Then the big split happened.

NASIOC vs. ClubWRX

That's why I don't leave built motor discussion or proven power and just ignore the threads with noob titles

However I can't keep them from PM'ing my accounts

Well, since you're from the area, you probably saw part of the NWIC drama that happened too I was on a few of the group drives where people wrecked their cars and helped contribute to that whole cluster. :/ NWIC is ruled with an iron fist by the mods, who have no accountability unfortunately, and usually are very rude (and then ban anyone else that is rude).

For instance, I posted a thread asking if RWD swaps would be more common now, since we will have the BRZ transmission, which seems like a nice strong unit. A mod called anyone who did a BRZ tranny swap a moron... :/ srsly?

actually i didn't see the drama happen, in 05 i got into a bad accident and left the scene for 2 years. you might have seen or heard of. I use to be a tech at World One Performance, which was the main reason i have so much subaru experience without haven owned one (legacy) until last year.

Really?! Then I'm sure you've worked on my car before. I was a big w1 customer back then. One of the only yellow bugeye sedans in the area. I think they did my up pipe, they did my eibach springs, and a bunch of other stuff.

What accident? you're right, I probably know of it.

[catharsis]

This car is going to be slow, regardless of what the fan boys say. That matters because the price has to be right on this thing. If they're asking 25k for it, it'll just sit on the lots. Anyone who says power doesn't matter is wrong. I'm not saying that weight doesn't matter either, but ideally you want a balance. This car is not balanced. It needs more power for its weight. It's almost s2k heavy, but 20hp off. So I could go out and buy an s2k right now for cheaper, and get a theoretically better performing car. We'll see what happens though.

[86'd]

I'll admit I know nothing about tuning, but I hope it's possible to add some top end as some are suggesting, with some mods and a reflash.

I'd love to rev to at least 8k and make some more power along the way.

It kinda makes sense that Toyobaru would leave some extra room for power mods, given the "vibe" of the car and it's heritage.

All I'd really want is around 20-30hp more and hopefully keep it N/A

[TRD_07]

You know I thought that the initial build was supposed to be a balanced sports car in reference to power to weight ratio in order to obtain the best HANDLING POSSIBLE. I see people talking about camrys and that this car sucks and or is going to be slow well this ain't the Camry forum and if you don't like the car because its going to difficult to obtain a ton of HP well this car wasn't designed to be insane but rather as a possible fun daily driver.

[dabocx]

Im going to still say that there was alot of performance left of the table for the sake of refreshes, emissions and mileage. Open block or not there should be some decent gains with bolt ons and a flash.
