Turbo+ AWD!!!!!

<07 wrx can't use the new style VF turbos.

I believe the '11 WRX has a lot of suspension parts from '10 STI, where the '11 STI is upgraded in almost every way

^ I heard the same.

Jason, what's different that she can't use the new VFs? They didn't change the location, or rotate it, did they?

 

[k757]

there is a YouTube video on it, but damn if I can find it

 

[Chevarian113]

Strange. I really stopped reading up on them about 2 years after I bought my old one. I discovered it's pointless for me to anymore since I was broke as hell.

compressor housing is different, to mount to the new style tmic

2011 wrx has the same chassis as the sti (GR), and subframe bushings. but the springs and shocks are basically the same as previous wrx, they even have the same steel control arms.

the sti has stiffer springs, inverted struts, AL front control arms, bigger rear sway, and the better 5x114 hubs

I haz 5x114

I always thought that was cheesy when I realized the STi and WRX have different ones. Stoopid!

I'm going to do this route at the Dragon meet this time. While Cherohala is fun, I think this looks more fun.

Keith, there is a badass little gravel road that runs from R-ville to Franklin along the river. I think I'm going to do that one day. It's an absolute blast. My nephews grandad took me on it once in his lightning (the man can drive like a bat out of hell). I was grinning from ear to ear on that road. I'll find out which it is.

 

[k757]

gravel roads don't get me excited in my nice car

Dawn can't use a VF-52, can she?

VF 48 is the highest I can go. Im actively searching for one too.

 

[clevrname]

DAWN!

VF39 with no shaft play. $200, I suggest hitting this guy up ASAP.

 

[Damaca]

I don't have $200 right now. I have to wait until Thursday of next week.

I get two big ole paychecks soon. I'm paying a lot of bills and having fun with a wee wittle bit. The amount of modifications on my car are directly related to my love life. If its flat, non existent, or unhappy, the more mods I get. Needless to say, you can see what the state of my marriage was early on in '06 (see yesterday;s posts for reference). The Z got all of its mods after my separation and the WRX has gotten them sprinkled in throughout my last relationship well, because I wasn't happy.

My point in sharing this is, you're going to see a lot of mods occurring as I can afford them over the next few months. Approach with caution

 

[Chevarian113]

Hit him up dawn. I'll front you just get it.

Mudflaps are on. Car is done for a while.

This is jason's nephew. I know another scenic route going over the cherohala skyway into telco plains tn then back up to129 back into the gap.

I want mine gone and those added. I didn't think they were worth the extra, but now I do.

 

[Chevarian113]

This is the majority of the route my nephew was saying. 143 to 165 to 360.

After doing these it would take all of 30 mins to put them on. I saw them online again for 134 somewhere earlier in my browsing adventures at work. But shipping was 30. Was still cheaper to buy them at Mach V. The material is awesome on them. Flimsy yet sturdy.
