That'll bring out the WRX's character better. Also, short shifter + front & rear shifter bushings. They'll improve the shifting feel immeasurably. I drove an 08 WRX from March 2009 till April 2013, and an STi from April '13 till November '13. So, that's where I come from on the mod recommendation side. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

I am holding off on a tune right now as the car already has more power than I need I might feel differently after I get used to it, and I am leery of the whole tune/warranty game with Subaru. While I was waiting at the dealer to have my winter tires put on the car the service manager was on the phone with, who I assumed was corporate, and he was talking to them about a car that was in for warranty work that appeared to have a flashed ECU. I did not catch the whole conversation, but I can only assume they were going to deny the warranty repair.. |

Yeah, once the pics came out earlier, I've been discussing how much it looked liked an Evo. But hey, I didn't make the meme, I just found it funny to pass along.

I get it. I was making that observation back in 2008 when they released the hatchback featuring the Toyota Camry front end. IMO, this latest design is what they should have done in 2008. I really hope they do another hatchback. I think it'd look better with the new front end.

I don't think they could have done a better job on the new STI wheels. Same for the 2015 WRX wheels, Crosstrek wheels, and BRZ wheels. All these have been very cool designs. |

WRX wheels are terrible IMHO. Will be swapping them out as soon as I get mine.

Just in time for 2014 24 hours of Nurburgring I'm sure Subaru can use a new car to beat VW/Audi this year to reclaim the SP3T class.

I'm looking forward to replacing them with RPF1's and not just for the weight savings. Quote:
At least the new STI looks appropriate for an STI.

2015 WRX STI
Unable to determine if I like it or not, usually you shouldn't have to think about it.
