WoW!You go Bud.LOL.Thats a good one for me to see at this part in my Cars life.WRX vs G20t.I was doing the G20t+Boost over the WRX due to price.Im looking to get 250-300hp out of the SR20DE+T (I could go for more but i'd like to keep it for a while-LOL-).I'm guessing to spend between 18-20k total so all in all its better bang for the buck.Down side = No AWD and warranty.Up side = I couldn't mod the WRK for a while.(due to the warranty)

Does the G20 or the SER come with a LSD?For right now, I do think that your idea is the best bang for the buck.

Yeah thats the main reason that im looking for a "G20t",well that and I like the sunroof/spoiler on the premumim package and the heated leather seats on the cold weather package.Good thinking Bud.(about the LSD):)

Did anyone else notice that Cold_Zero guy trying to act like he was smart. I don't think anyone has swaped a Qr25 into anything yet, and why would you?

Post by **jEzTeR** » Sun May 11, 2003 4:26 pm

Cold Zero (BUD) is smart. LOL he ownes a 2.5 altima and a WRX.

Could you please reference where I was talking about swapping the QR25DE engine? I don’t claim to even know a tenth of what EZCheese knows about cars. I try my best to engage in good conversation and ask questions when I don’t know the answer. Ask anyone who knows me on NICO.

My bad, I read it wrong. You were asking if the QR had been swapped lol. Sorry I ate too much paste as a kid.

hahah, good stuff, good times, and also, way to rep for us BUD!! thanks, anyway, that sounds like a mean race waitin to happen and also, cant wait to hear the outcome, you'll keep us posted rite bud?? and also, the o4 wrx has the new headlights and such rite??, or is that the o3??

Post by **Cold_Zero** » Sun May 11, 2003 4:26 pm

'03 has the bug headlights. '04 has the new headlights. The only diff between the '04 from the '03 is:New hoodscoop (to channel more air to the intercooler)New head and tail lightsTac and Speedo are switchedDifferent cloth patern on seats

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Sun May 11, 2003 4:26 pm

i LOVE ur car, but i like the new ones even more, does it kill u that u have a brand spankin new car, with probably less than 15k on her and a newer 'model' is already coming out??

Post by **Cold_Zero** » Sun May 11, 2003 4:26 pm

7kmi on my '03 WRX. '04's are nice, but not nice enough to go through the hassel of trying to trade in or sell my car. I do have thoughts about trading in the Altima all the time. But I am happy with my setup.

I need to see how this race went down.

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Sun May 11, 2003 4:26 pm

what race, i havent seen this thread in forever? but yea i hear ya about the wrx's, and besides the only thing i dont really like about hte o3's is the big headlights which can be fixed with a headlight cover thingy

Post by **Cold_Zero** » Sun May 11, 2003 4:26 pm

Rob,I wouldn’t worry about what the lights on the MY/02-03 look like, since I am confident you wont see them for very long. I would concentrate on what the taillights look like going off into the distance.

I like my headlights since they look like no other car out there. It definitely has a rally look to it and the GDA has the bigger fog lights. I must admit that the GC8 headlights are the classic Impreza look.

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Sun May 11, 2003 4:26 pm

haha, this is true, ive raced one WRX, totally spanked me, very qiuck car, but still fun of course, i jus tlike the look of hte o4s a lil bit better, but id buy an o3 if i could find one for a good price, and this GDA AND GC8 talk is a lil out of my league, is that era's of impreza's? fill me in bud

Post by **Cold_Zero** » Sun May 11, 2003 4:26 pm

Hrmmm interesting..Whats the 8 and MY?

Post by **Cold_Zero** » Sun May 11, 2003 4:26 pm

MY= Model Year

8= I am not sure. My FSM only covers 02-03 Imprezas.

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Sun May 11, 2003 4:26 pm

thanks for all the info Bud, i learn somethin everyday, the only thing i was familiar with were the engine codes, the ej2o, and of coures the legendary (atleast to me) 22b

Post by **Cold_Zero** » Sun May 11, 2003 4:26 pm

EJ= 4 cylinders in Subaruese.

well whats up with the 22b, it doesnt follow any part of the suby language as far as engine codes, how'd they come up with that, obivously the 2.2 liter is the 22part , but whats B, i always thought b=boxer?

Post by **Cold_Zero** » Sun May 11, 2003 4:26 pm

the 22b's engine code is EJ22. Same code as the 142hp naturally aspirated engine that some Impreza's had in the US.

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Sun May 11, 2003 4:26 pm

ooooo, so 22b was just the model? the actual engine code was ej22, i always thought that sounded wierd, but couldnt find the answer, thanks bro, and i didnt know they had 142hp either, not bad at all? these were 4wd? that would make a great tuner car, good size displacement, AWD out of a boxer engine?!

Bud's rub a dub dubby is slow. 15.1, come on Bud.

Post by **Cold_Zero** » Sun May 11, 2003 4:26 pm

Slower than your Altima?Not bad for only driving a manual transmission for less than a year. Did you complain about my 60' times?

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Sun May 11, 2003 4:26 pm

yep, he sure did, haha, i know how hard it is to launch a 4wd car, so i can relate to Bud, im sure i couldnt have pulled off any better, sometimes with 4wd u have to rev to about 45oo or 5k just to bleed some of the extra power by lighting up the tires, if u dont chirp them, u bogg and takes lots of time to get back up to speed

Post by **Cold_Zero** » Sun May 11, 2003 4:26 pm

4500-5000 RPM's? Try 6000-7000 RPM's. I think I have the launching down, its the shifting where I am deficient. The time slips prove that. Practice makes perfect though.
