I say, not an STI, then no STI badges allowed.

why would U even want one anyway. Id rather have my wrx smoke an STi and let it be KNOWN that I had a wrx

Now now...I never said that I wanted to put any STI stuff on MY car....I have seen a few regular wrx's with STI badges and whatnot on them....just wondering what people thought about that...not to put you on the spot...but WRXinEffects....is your car an STI?? You have STI foglight covers on and an STI badge on the front....see what I mean???

theres a guy in reno that has a lancer and has it tricked out and it looks exactly like an evo mr but it is still basically stock engine no turbo just intake and exhaust. its stupid IMO, but the guys a tool with or without his car. if you really want an evo or an sti save for a little while longer and buy one. show some discipline.

well if you pull up to a "fake sti" at a redlight and your in a "true sti" i think you would find out fast what the deal is...

WRXKidid775 · 01-12-2007, 04:26 AM

still though its retarded dont be a poser thats all it is.

an STi isnt even that much better tho i duno why you would want to do it, you can be faster than one with only a couple mods

WRXKidid775 · 01-12-2007, 04:59 AM

an sti is a lot better..... 6 speed tranny that is basically bombproof. excellent suspension setup, better brakes. you may throw a few mods on a stock wrx and beat a stock sti in a straight line but the sti is just a tighter more solid car. and for us wrx owners from 05 and before. we havea 2.0l engine and the sti has a 2.5l engine.

the sti is a more solid car.

My problem is all the Honda, mitsu, nissan, etc,etc will race an "STI" and beat it then go brag to everyone that they beat an STI, when in reality they beat a WRX.

Personally I would not put any STI logos or stickers. It doesn't bother me if someone has STI foglight covers but I don't see the need to have any other badges.

only someone who's never driven one (i mean "driven" not "test drove") and only cares about strait line speed would say that. And if you only care about strait line speed in a awd car, you are truly handicapped.

I hear that "my wrx can beat your STi" crap all the time. All that means is they spent more on mods than me. it'll take a turbo, EM, injectors, ic, tbe, fuel pump, etc to get to 300whp for a WRX. I can do it with a Downpipe and EM. I'm sorry if this hurts the pride of WRX owners but it's the truth. STi stickers are fine on a WRX if it has STi stuff on it, but put them in places that don't try to suggest that it's an STi. It doesn't bother me that much either way. If a person can't tell a wrx from an sti without looking at badges, they probably don't know the difference anyway.
