Thanks for the info, I haven't looked into it yet, but gis was also telling me about it.

No, just a standard WRX. The STi would have been even more expensive to buy, and the insurance on them (for a 23yo) is crazy.

insurance here for any car if your under 25 is damn crazy.. WRX or STI would be one big kick to balls.. and anyway if you looking to tune it WRX is far better then the STI.. with the money you save you can get it much better then the STI..

Wow. I agree with the others. I really like the wrx in blue, but it looks like a completely different car in red. I guess you just get so used to seeing it in only blue and silver.

Congrats on a unique car!

It was always going to happen, just a matter of time.

I will probably take some day time pics tomorrow afternoon....finish work early so I will find a nice location somewhere.

I'm sure it was a typo, but it only has one turbo.

Yep its alot of fun once the action begins.....haven't gone crazy yet but its only a matter of time.

i love the new car Dingo!!!
red is a delicious color without a doubt and goes great with the gold rims (thats definately not the standard size/style for our WRX)

after driving quite a few of them, i know i love them; and 100% sure you love yours! it just begs to stay above 3500 with no complaints at all

its great to see a 'non blue' WRX here; sure WR Blue looks nice, but i wouldn't buy it (black for me )

good work mate

Thanks.

The wheels are standard, and not gold either - just that dark grey colour.

I just got back from a 30min blast down some deserted roads - oh what fun!!!! I have a feeling the fuel economy is going to shock me when I calculate it - put $55 of 98 Premium (42L) in today so lets see how long that lasts.

Heres a short 30sec video I took earlier of the exhaust.....of course its standard at the moment so the boxer rumble is not that audible.
