About “wrx”
This is my wrx. She's preety stock other then a few alterations listed below(too lazy to copy and paste). No penny saved when it come to my wrx, full syntheic oil, subaru parts( i even bought the subaru tear down manuals, $256 for 5 of 9 manuals!!) when i can. About the only other cool thing that sets my wrx off is that there are only 3 in my 150 mile radius! not too shabby for a daily driver huh?
About “Paperweight/Land Whale”
Toyota's test bed for a car that would eventually dominate the import scene of the late 90's, driven by a turbocharged 3.0liter inline 6 composed of an iron block and aluminum head, capable of holding over 500 horsepower reliably on stock cast pistons and rods. Competed in Group A rally events, various racing series across the globe and was even the quickest production car in Japan before the debut of Nissan's Skyline R32.
