Dalai Posted 14July, 2022 Report Share Posted 14July, 2022 Nice car! Surprised a WRX is P plate legal! So do we start running a book betting how long he keeps his licence for? 🚗💨 GC9911 and Joz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve just had to confiscate the Cob Tuner and hide it away. Yeatesy and Dalai 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Phil Posted 16July, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 16July, 2022 I would suggest that he keeps something in the car to say the MY08 is legal as he will be pulled over often. Red P's on a WRX stands out like dogs balls to the boys in blue. Joz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT3MEZ Posted 20July, 2022 Report Share Posted 20July, 2022 Joe, maybe should take your lad for a spin in my little rexy? Power / Tractive effort at the wheels coupled with just over 1000kg wet, makes it "spritely"! Joz, Dalai, Niko and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeM Posted 20July, 2022 Report Share Posted 20July, 2022 Crikey! Any reliability problems with that sorta hp? Being such a small and light car, I can't imagine what it'd be like to drive. Well I kinda could, as I've driven a Rex with 300-350hp, and that was fkn mental 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeM Posted 22July, 2022 Report Share Posted 22July, 2022 @GT3MEZ There's a mob here in Adelaide (SJ Automotive) who claim their WRX has 800-1000hp. They win just about everything they enter (mainly hillclimbs from what I've seen) and it's bloody fast with a sequential 'box, though like any high hp engine, I'm sure it wouldn't be fantastically reliable GT3MEZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
