Nice!!! The jetta would not be stock after me owning it... I can't consciously drive a car w/ like 90hp

DC-AT's shift like bawssesss, another car I'm in love with has it (Hyundai Veloster) and it didn't feel so bad driving, still lacking compared to a MT but I wouldn't hate on it as hard as other Autos.

VW's autos have been very good in the past to me, the TQ converter stays engaged (or feels that way) so it feels like you're driving a manual and not a slushbox.

But I would never own an Auto if I had the choice.

 

that sucks...

but reliable....and jetta?!?!?!??! yea that shouldnt be in the same category. reliable, hence why i went w/ my integra. i love teh look of the old school jettas/vw, but i'd never get one, they are known for electrical issues

 

Was behind a red Jetta on my way into work this morning...had one of those "if you gonna ride my ***, at least pull my hair" licence plate covers...I go to pass her and take a look-see, it's some dude. FFS that screwed up my morning. Damn Jettas are chick cars...I expect a chick to drive that one especially.

Yeah, Rochester, I thought you had some fancy DSLR camera that you did all your pics with...

Hustle - don't forget, Galactica is still wanting to buy your AE lip when and if you get around to it...

Sucks about maxus...our meet had 9 maxes, 3 from other states (2 from Oregon, one from Idaho). Chill and fun it was.

 

Trust me... Mine wouldn't be confused w/ a chick car... Just like the 325i vert I was looking at the other day... There are ways around it

TDI bruh. Diesels last waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay longer than Gasoline engines, there's a reason why the other half of the world uses it more than Gasoline, and it's not because Diesel is cheap either.

I would consider owning a Honda but they get stolen too much!!!

 

There's 2 issues you have to improvise with.

1st. The port matching with the head. That's self explanatory really and since you're already ported, it shouldn't be that much of an issue. The one down here was already ported pretty well and we were able to just slap it on.

2nd. Is the rear valve cover clearance. You can use a 3.5 cover but you will battle a few oil leaks. Your best bet is to use your dek valve cover and shave it down flat then use 3.5 coil packs because the "stem" is shorter to compensate for the shaving.

LMAO.

Bishazz... Lol.

 

i dont know about the diesels and electrical problems, but seeing diesel prices...errrrrrrrr

 

i like the new scion FRS... saw one last week n that shyt is sexy.... this coming from a sedan guy

 

 

it's a nice car...but they should have kept it Toyota and brought back the Celica name. Scion is toyota's young and cheap division. I wish the Subaru version came with the AWD...that could be nice.

 

or maybe it was the subaru BRZ... it was a blue one that i saw... idk... both look alike

 

lol... i dont care if it has a toyota badge or its name... long as its affordable lol

 

That's cause your cheap bishazz is paying for regular I've been buying premium for the last few years so I don't see a diff in gas prices, just a dramatic increase gas mileage (25 to 40).

My friend just got one. Car is small as HELLLLLLLLLLLL, I feel like my Maxima would eat it for brunch

 

hmm.... 14.8@95 for the FRS... not bad

 

Driven it yet?

 

1/4 mile numbers are irrelevant to this car. Most cars, actually.

 

forgot when i had the max i was paying for premium, i dont miss it one bit either...but 40mpg is *salutes*

 

You can see the Subaru in the headlights...same basic headlamp shape as some former Legacy and Impreza models...

 

i guess because you now autocross that one time now you've had a revelation ... while i dont disagree, its still a factor for me personally...

 

i ***** with the legacy's... dont know a whole lot about em other than they can sound just like the WRX lol...

 

Subaru has two main cars...the Impreza and the Legacy.

Impreza is what the WRX is, and the Legacy is the "nicer" car. The Outback, for example, came as both an "Impreza outback" (otherwise known as Outback sport) and "legacy outback". Legacy is larger and more comfortable...while Impreza is smaller and sportier.

Legacy Outback 2010:





...and notice the wagon version of the WRX:

Looks just like the Impreza

 

it depends on what type of car person u are....they matter to me

 

its closer to the sti power wise... i would get one

 

Me too. I was looking at the Legacy sedans originally when I was looking to get rid of my Grand Am. Ended up realizing I couldn't afford a 05 or 06 like I wanted...that's when I bought the max.

Squeaker's family is a Subaru family. They've had Legacy wagons and Outbacks for their last 5 vehicles. Living in Idaho, can't beat the AWD. Father in law is actually going to be buying my mother in law a 2012 Outback soon.

 

really.... damn, i thought they were more WRX like (which is still respectable)

Are the AWD also???
exactly... if its an automobile i care...

 

yeppers. And the STI is a WRX, it's just another trim level, basically.

The STI's full name is the "Subaru Impreza WRX STI"

With the exception of the BRZ... ...if it's a Subaru, it's AWD

call it riced.... i love the canons look on em lol

 

yup

 

I've autocrossed twice, but that's not the point... it's daily driving that shapes that opinion.

And yeah, I get that we have different priorities.

Fair enough.

But if we measure cars 1/4 mile at a time, then why drive a Maxima?

 

well i knew that much bro lol... i was moreso talking on the Legacy... the only reason i say i thought the power was moreso on the WRX because obviously there is the WRX model and the WRX STi model and the way to differentiate the difference in power was to either say STi, or WRX.... hmm... might have one of these on the radars... whats the issues with these???

 

The turbos blow to hell due to oil cooler issues iirc...but that's easily remedied.

 

i've wanted that exact model since they first came out. they are fukin sexy

 

Clean, appealing, respectable... all those things. I like the Legacy, too.

But not "sexy"

 

my opinion, so it's sexy

 

**meh. Nothing special there at all.


I wanted one of these, I did a lot of research, I also know a couple VW guys. I drove stock ones, modded ones, etc. I really really wanted to like it, but it just never did a lot for me.
There's a lot to like, but similar to the maxima, this car always feels soft/sloppy. Even on coils, etc, it's sloppy.


That's how they designed it though, and just like the maxima I'm sure enough steering modifications and suspension mods, it COULD be made better, but that's a crapload of work. And they're TINY inside, mainly the back seat. But SMALL dude.


There's a lot of big PROS for TDI's. A lot of cons though also.
You know the Pros I think so here's some major cons:

- VERY expensive to fix
- VERY expensive to buy
- Long engine life still = old chassis, and these cars are notorious for suspension problems.
- Harder/more specialized to work on

Not TDI specific, just Jetta/VW specific:
- Hard as heck to work on
- Expensive to work on (need to re-tool, specialized tools needed everywhere)
- Suspension problems lead to HUGE $$$ in repairs, and a fairly extensive amount of time to fix/replace stuff due to design.

 

because the price range for the base platform and speed... duh... seriously... not a lot of cars in its price range thats a mid to low 14's car... also we are not saying thats the only factor but its a factor that we like to acknowledge
how so?

 

ok so what happened with Maxus? I was at IA this whole weekend.

^^ general wrx issues

The oil-feed line for the turbo gets farked up easily at times, replacement of the oil feed line is required, judging from a quick read of things turbo-related. Just go to google for "wrx turbo oil failure" and reall all the crap that pops up...

anyone in here into mini rc's?

 

Bolded sections are what kept me buying it instead of the white nightmare, it's why I wanted to stick w/ the BMW because I already have the tools to work on it.

I just may end up getting a G35/350z

Absolutely nothing happened.

 

german cars...i cant see without purchasing brand new..it's like their maintenance are just outrageous. for the price you'd expect them to have toyota/honda type reliability. hence why i'll own a lexus before any other luxury line...unless some magical way i become bill gates rich
