this thread is a godsend! it perfectly demonstrates the stupidity of this whole site. blu-b-ru: gee i hope you win the race! tell me what a piston is, and how it makes a car run! will your **** grow if you win?
seriously- do any of you enjoy cars outside of the image that they give you? asthetics are about 5% of a cars worth and if you can beat a 3000 gt in my humble opinion is useless when you obviously know jack **** about cars. yet this sight is full of how do i get my car to look better and how can i appear to have a bigger **** than the next guy. you people drooling to give advice to any tom dick or idiot to come down the pike ought to be ashamed. you want to know how to maximize hp and torque? check your headlight fluid and modify your suspension drive train on a regular basis. if your cam burns oil, it needs a new throwout bearing.
ps:fu

Maybe the suckerqueen needs to find another forum. then again there probably aren't too many for 87 gl owners. o well...
for a good baseline upgrade check out Vishnu's packages. i installed the stage 0 an 02. pretty easy install (for a garage anyway) and decent power and torque increases.

fastest and cheapest is a nitrous fogger kit. you can get a
remote bottle opener for it so that until your buddy lines up
next to you at a light, you can drive your wrx completely stock.
i have a zex kit on my 98 lude and it has opened many wrx
owner's eyes when i squeezed next to them. hehehe.
im still trying to decide whether to go utech or nos fogger kit
on my wrx. both can switch between factory or boosted settings
on the fly, so...
good luck beating that VR4~! i got smoked by one several
months ago coming through a left hand turn. i didnt know he was
gonna gun it, so was in too low of a rpm in 2nd...couldnt catchup.

Car Info: '02 WRX TurboXS Stage 4
First off, READ. Look through the posts under FACTORY TURBO. Take your time and read through them. This will give you a good idea of what others are doing to make their WRXs faster. If you want to do things the "right" way you should probably start off by purchasing a good aftermarket turbo-back exhaust, $1,000.00+. You see, most modifications (other than No2) will only be as good as the weakest link in the chain. Having a freer flowing exhaust will open the door getting more power out of following modifications and give you less lag and a very noticeable difference in power by itself. If you want you could start with just a performance muffler, that should be enough to overcome a stock 3000, then you could purchase additional exhaust pieces singularly or a kit without the muffler. But the best thing to do is read the forums. This way you will learn about different options and their benefits and hazards.
I would need to know what year and what mods the cars you want to beat are running to know what you would need to beat them. If its a stock 3000 it should be just your equal so the launch will be the most important factor (you could drop the clutch with the RPMs at 5500 and smoke his *** out of the whole but you could also mess up your drivetrain. I don’t recommend this). If it's modified you will probably need the equivalent mods or a single high power mod like No2. I am not a fan of Nitros and if I were to use it, it would be the final mod. I like power that is there under all conditions and doesn't have to be re-filled. Good luck and don't let mean spirited comments get you down, we all start some place. Just remember, tuning cars is a learning process and if you want to do it well and right your going to have to do research (most of which can be done right here at I-CLUB). Take your time and go with what’s right for you. The best thing to do is decide what you want from your car in terms of drivability, power, fuel consumption and reliability, then decide what your willing to give up to attain what you want (don’t be to quick to give up drivability for power, you may not like it and it is possible to get good drivability and low lag whilst increasing power.). Ask questions about specific upgrades or combinations of upgrades and look at all the alternatives.
This may not be the answer you wanted but I hope it helps.
Good luck.

hey when you get a chance maybe we could have a race. i'll even pull my 2wd loyale w/ 203k miles on it out of the junk yard. now that would be fun! o, and the size of my ***** is irrelevant to the power of my car. 96hp loyale vs. 250+ talon, makes no difference.

4.you don't have the right give someone a hard time b/c he/she wants to learn more about the car they own. in fact i commend anyone who is interested in learning how their car works, how to make it faster, and how to have more fun drving it.

2. whatever.
3. i HATE people who race on the street. i do not use the word hate lightly.
4. you are correct. there is nothing wrong with wanting to learn or being ignorant about something. the point of my post is that this forum is chock full of easily impressed morons who have seen the fast and furious a few too many times, NOT car enthusiests. don't bother to tell me not to judge because not all of you are not the same. that is obvious. some people on this sight know their ****, and even your post showed some signs of intelligence. but face it. this website has a 9:1 idiot:smart ratio
5. no thanks

*Every* online car forum has it's share of stunnas. Every single one. It's what happens when online car forums attempt to be everything for everyone who calls him or herself a "car enthusiast." Most forums also have another group of kiddies on the sidelines who only come out to tell the intelligent people that they need to back off because "It's all good, bro!" when they put said stunnas in their place.
Suckerking is one of the few who gets it.
