Air flow meter broke down at 30000 km
Engine blew at 60000 km.
Until 2006 Prodrive kit fitted: 240 HP / 350Nm.
Later ECUtek tuning: 275 HP / 380 Nm.
AP-Racing brakes, adjustable suspension, nylon bushes, big anti roll bar fitted.
It handles like a go-kart and out-accelerates (up to 200 km/h) about anything on the road.
In the mean time it's just for fun, got a WRX for business trips, since the GT Turbo is so stiff the whole car rattles and shakes when driving over a coin lost on the road.
Even performing well on the Nuerburgring Nordschleife.
Big drawback: fuel consumption: 20 - 25 liters / 100 km!!
However, this car is a man's perfect toy!
The new series WRX, STI... after 2000 is not the same anymore. Too heavy, too much comfort accessories (who needs an air con or stereo in such a car?)
Yes your right, they do make them too heavy for the type of car it is these days, you don't buy it for the comforts. The 90's models had plenty and only weighed between 1200 and 1300 kgs. Now STIs are around 1450. But I do think a stereo is a must have.
