Sell the GSX?
 

Yeah.. so many of you know/seen my car.. but now i'm thinking of selling it and then buying a STi, what do you guys think? any opinions?

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

DSM has more potential then an STI. have you seen the Intercooler, first off, why would they mount the BOV to the IC??? Secondly HOW THE FUCK IS THE IC SUPPOSED TO COOL THE AIR WHEN ITS SITTING ON TOP OF A PIPING HOT ENGINE???? Damn austrailians must think that if their toilets flush the wrong way heat must travel down instead of up here.

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

They do have a good sized hood scoop ya know.. It was engineered in Japan not Austrailia...

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

I was meaning being made by Suburu.

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

Subaru is a Japanese company owned partially by Fuji Heavy Industries. I believe GM has a stake in the company too.

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

You've got to be shitting me... Why does it matter where the BOV is located? As long as it's between the intercooler and the throttle body it'll work just the same. The IC isn't anything to right home about, but neither are most stock ICs. The WRX IC is kind of small but there are plenty of top mount ICs out there to replace it, most of which are bigger than the STi one. The STi hood scoop is HUGE. At speed it directs PLENTY of air into the IC. It also helps cool the turbo as well. And Subaru is a Japanese company, you blithering idiot.

A GT35R on a stock STi bottom end. No potential? :lollerskates:

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

And.... A slow DSM is better looking than a STi anyday. Those subaru looks just plain suck!

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

If you get an Sti, you better keep it stock so you can get those trannys warrantied. I say keep the 2g.

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

Matt: A bov does not HAVE to be between the IC and the TB. It can be anywhere between the turbo and the TB.

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

True, but only HORT would put a BOV 10' from the throttle body rather than 10".

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

I don't post on the board much (or at all) anymore, but I figure I'll toss up some advice to Mr. Geng since me and him go back a few years. Personally, if you have the money, I'd sell the 2G and get the STi if that is what you really want. They are a much nicer DD than the EVO is, and a lot more practical than the Poopra you were thinking about getting. Lately I've been a big fan of the whole newer and more reliable with a warranty thing. The STi is an awsome looking car, I like it more and more everytime I see one.

To Tom: Dude, come the fuck on.....you can't be serious about the whole Australian thing are you?

To John: I assume you know better than putting a BOV so far away from the TB and were just making a point that it CAN be done.

Thats enough for now, I'll talk to you more about it later, Joe.

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

I say if you are going for a dd and you are not going to mod it much pick whichever car you like better. I personally think STi's look really nice and they are not as popular as gsx's.

As for Tom... he shouldnt be allowed to post here anymore with any "attempted" knowledge. He must really hate Porsche's then because the engine is in the rear and the intercooler is on top of the engine too. Geez what was Porsche thinking??

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

I'd say Evo. But I like Evo's better then STi. Potential or not.

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

If you got the money and wanna spend it, go for it.

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

Or get a regular WRX and use a little of the leftovers for fun stuff. (mods or cosmetics) God knows you'll get bit by the bug w/ a Scooby just like ya did the GSX.

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

i just really want something nice and sweet, i feel my gsx is losing it's touch since 1) it's small 2) can't fit more than 1 vagina in the car, the damn thing is too small! (refer to reason 1). anywho.. i still don't know what i'd like to get, the STi is nice and such but so are is300s, and then i'm thinking oh oh, what about an EVO, have i had enough of the 4g63 yet, then, i slap myself again and think that i could get a skyline GT-R, but damn... is it worth the extra money?

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

A Skyline?

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

Test Drive an EVO. If I had the $$$ I would buy one in a heartbeat. I loved it.

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

buy an s4 :)

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

I second the S4 idea, they're pretty sweet, and fit four people comfortably.

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

S4's are sweet, so are Evo's and and all kinds of other cars. Joe asked about the STI. Joe, my advice is to sell me your eclipse and buy an STI. They are nice reliably quick with a warranty, HIDs, and great interior. I would check insurance prices, and if you really plan to mod it in the future I would really look into the cost and amount of work first. Good luck with your decision and my check book will be standing by. ;-)

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

Hah. Have fun when you pull the turbos/MOTOR out. ;)

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

just the turbos :) upgrade to a k04 and a giac chip and just drive it. ko3s blow

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

s4's would be nice, but it's too much of a family sedan to me

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

G35/350z?

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

yeah talk to your insurace company first, there might be price differences between years/options that could really save you money. I don't tknow what your overall plans are but it seems like Subaru backs there STi's better than Mitsubishi treats EVO owners.

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

Definately check ALL your options thru your insurance company. It may make up your mind for you.

Also, Subaru is just as bad as Mitsu when it comes to not backing a warranty. I believe one of our rallycrossers got denied a warranty claim because they saw a picture of his car in a rallycross.

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

Colin and I saw a white STi last night in WI... *drool*

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

EVO's aren't that much fun to drive and the interior sucks for what they cost (its right on par with $15k cars aka the other Lancers), when I was considering them I was quite disapointed after the test-drive. It would make a great winter car/DD, but as far as a "fun" car goes it wouldn't cut it for me. Just my 3 pennies.

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

Wow, I really enjoyed the EVO on the test drives I have taken. I have not driven the STi, but I am a huge fan of the styling on the car. I would say either would be a great choice for a DD esp. in this state.

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

Another thing to consider if you are looking at increasing boost the Subarus run open deck heads. The transmission is the only turnoff to me as far as buying a sti of a wrx. My .02

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

No STi,... EVO!

Re: Sell the GSX?
 

The EVO vs. STi debate all depends on what Joe wants. If he wants another easy to mod "race" car then choose the EVO, if he wants a comfortable DD with a nice interior and better looks, choose the STi.
