At first when I saw that first pic I was like "oh noes" it looked like a ricer wing but then realized it's just a mailbox. lol Enjoy the new ride!

To each his own, Z-Powered. I can respect the performance of that Subaru, but that model is so damn butt-ugly. Seriously hideous.

Haha the funny part is it only had 50,000ish miles on it since the previous owner rebuilt it. It had a decked block, ported and polished head, valve job, and polished crank. Oh well, the new owner wants to turn it into a track car so who knows what motor he's gonna stuff in there

Can't see the outside from the driver's seat
But I know what you mean, the bugeye WRX has always been controversial. IMO it's more aggressive than pretty. At least all the assorted scoops and wings are functional

The day I was planning on dynoing it, it started missing badly so I never got a chance too unfortunately. I had every bolt on mod besides cams though, and other M3s with the same mods and a tune made around 240 WHP. So I'd guess it was making 255-260 WHP with all the block and head work?

And as for the Subie, it came with almost every mod I planned on doing lol. BC Racing coilovers (height and dampening adjustable), Eibach swaybars, uppipe, downpipe, 3" Prodrive catback, Godspeed TMIC, custom tune, some kind of amazing short throw shifter, and lighter weight wheels. I recently put on a silicone turbo inlet because the higher boost pressure raised the turbo's temps enough to melt the 10 year old stock rubber inlet in half lol. Power wise, it's downright scary

That's perfect. Well said.

For some reason, I'm reminded of a quote from M*A*S*H, when Jamie Farr said, "If my dog had your face, I'd shave its butt and teach it to walk backwards."

Enjoy the ride, Z-Powered.

That is definitely not normal for a 90s I6

My M50 has 198k and doesn't blow any smoke. E34 > E36

I wonder if that ******* would like his house blowing smoke. MFer needs to get his.
