It really transforms the car, for me at least.
I am in agreement with the things that you say.

Thank God they don't. would be hard to justify my 6grand price differential even more
if they had the widebody lol, esp with the power bump

there are some more changes coming down the pipeline that haven't been officially announced. I'll have to dig out that email from SOA but for one I know SPT is making some pretty notable changes.

I was joking.
people on nasioc get so butt hurt about WRX IS THE WINRAR OVER STI
stuff
hahaha

On a seperate note :
http://www.iwsti.com/forums/technical/1 ... iston.html
An interesting thread to read by a well-known vendor,
which has 2 other well-known vendors stepping in.
Seems like piston quality has dropped more from 07, or something is going on.
Sigh, I am worried even at my power levels.

Kind of scary actually. I need ~$3000 (motor tear-down and pistons, honing) of work for my car to be reliable even stock!
I feel the 07 owners pain now
haha
