I had concerns about ride quality. I should also clarify that it isn't a WRX, its a pre-02 impreza, so it's quite a bit lighter. The ride quality concern is mostly what turned me off of the coilovers, I also believe most or all coilovers are higher maintenance and wear out quicker than a sturdy...

The '00 RS pushes 165 bhp, with a 50/50 torque split front to rear. The stock rear sway bar is only 13mm, compared to 20mm front. The addition of a 20mm bar in the rear should make a huge difference. I don't know what the exact weight distribution is, but the guys on the subie forums reported...

My friend just got a 1991 (I think) Mazda miata, and that thing is absolutely awesome through the corners. Even with the small 1.6l motor, it hauls coming up my hill. I'm planning on getting subaru impreza RS by June, and I have to be able to keep up with him through the twisties. So, I decided...

Whoops. Didn't mean the 2002+ RS impreza. Meant the 2000 impreza RS. kerb weight is roughly the same as the mp3, and the looks are good. It is essentially the 2000 impreza, but with the 2.5 engine from the larger outback. Here's pics! coupe, rear quarter: sedan, front quarter: coupe, front...

yeah, I've been saving every penny from my job. The accident set me back, but I'm in business again. good to hear you finally sold your mp3 mp3architect. Anyhow, I have been checking autotrader, nothing much to report, and craigslist for local listings. I just use the search function in the...

I'm looking for an MP3 in CA, preferably close to san francisco. (I'm in woodside/redwood city) I don't particularly care about miles, but the car has to be in fairly good condition. I'd rather have a stock car, but I wouldn't mind Intake/header/exhaust, audio, or suspension mods as long as...

gotta have pics/condition dude

Almost a year ago, yeah. Looking back, I can't believe some of the stupid things I've done, but I'm alive, and the car's ok, so it's all good. As long as I don't any more stunts like that. The poetry isn't the best, but I think it captures the mood of the event really well. "hahaha holy crap I'm...

This is a poem I wrote about an actual event. I was driving in the rain down my hill, in my mom's mercury sable, and well... read the poem Right now I am driving the Sable To make this turn, while Im able The pats of rain, on the roof Seems to be the reasonable proof The road is slick as I know...

from the engine, it goes header -> downpipe -> catback exhaust in an NA setup right? Would you see any gains from getting an aftermarket downpipe if you had aftermarket exhaust and header?

there should really be a guide for this, I don't think there is one. It would go well with the header how-to.

You mean one of those uselessly small spares right? darn... at least the pastries are tasty. EDIT: I typoed pastries

Does the MP3 have one of those pesky mini-spare tires, or is it a regular tire/wheel like the other 4? easy question...

is the cooler good for manual trannies too? I think it would be, but is it worth the 390$?

The OBX header is an excellent bet, that and an intake from ebay are probably the best you can do at that price range OR... you could buy a leafblower, and attach the blower element to the intake, but people dont do that a whole lot around here...
