WRX does not = trouble? - United Bimmer Community

**NavyL7** · 05-02-2007, 09:42 PM

I came across a couple of kids in a red, riced-out WRX. We rode side-by-side for a min., then I heard the fart can roar so I nailed it too. He got the jump on me & pulled out a bit.....about front bumper to rear.
We had to hit the skidz because of a red light. Side-by-side, the light turns green. I pulled on him (thank god for 5 speed & new centerforce clutch) and just walked away. I had the roof open & windows down so all I could hear is the fart machine fading into the distance.
I thought WRX's were fast?!? So, now I'm wondering if it was a cloned legacy or the guy just can't drive the piece of rice crap. I expected to get my ass handed to me.

328iS, centerforce clutch (bram new), stainless headers with factory exhaust (headers on factory exhaust?........I don't know why........ I bought it like that), K&N, that's it

it might either be that he cant drive or its quick in the begining but after a little bit it loses its edge it needs more power and a bigger engine because a 2 liter turbo is quick not fast

i drove a wrx before, and they are fast and lighter than your E36.

I love bimmers dearly, but i think you might have been lucky on that one.

Maybe the other dirver realized it wasn't wise to street-race

EItehr that or it really wasn't a WRX.

**BaLAnCe17** · 05-02-2007, 11:40 PM

i remember racing a chipped intake+exhaust wrx in my old 328is...freeway though from 45 and up, he pulled on me pretty well. the guy you raced must of been a n00b or it was a 2.5rs rebadged hahahaha

**RSF5** · 05-02-2007, 11:42 PM

Yeah, either he sucked or wasn't racing, or it wasn't a WRX

**Montizzle 325i** · 05-02-2007, 11:50 PM

Balance.....your sig is baller as hell

**BaLAnCe17** · 05-03-2007, 12:32 AM

thanks man...for my next m3 i was thinkin about getting dakar. you should shoot me some pics of your new suspension and HID's. how do you like the new rear end too? dhahn@gonzaga.edu

a guy over at tehdriven, lowviscosity made it for me. hes done a few others that are sicker than mine

**chris325i** · 05-03-2007, 01:17 AM

thats pretty wierd. i rode in an sti with a very good driver behind the wheel once, and to this day i still think that was the fastest car ive ever rode in. who knows what happened. oh well you ended up in front so you win by default. haha

drz · 05-03-2007, 02:23 AM

Not all WRX's are STi's.

**elsabor67** · 05-03-2007, 02:47 AM

He probably couldn't drive or shift right. Maybe he needs some classes on how to race.

Or maybe................. He had too much Uncle Ben's in his tank

**NavyL7** · 05-03-2007, 08:06 AM

I'm thinking it was a clone, not realy a WRX. I've never driven one, but I would epect it to be faster.

**celsdogg** · 05-03-2007, 11:30 AM

^^^ no worries tho, coz bimmers still rule.

**Numark318i** · 05-03-2007, 02:07 PM

yea wait.

are we talking WRX STI...cause if so..he wasnt racing.

if it was a WRX..224hp. STi is 293 or something like that.

whats a 328 put out?

ah WRX beats me by 2 hp. wtf

drz · 05-03-2007, 04:55 PM

328 is 190 bhp

**Reddots89** · 05-03-2007, 05:14 PM

it probally was a stock wrx which really would not be a big accomplishment to beat. now if it was an sti than i could see you bragging. yeah a my 2.8 liter bmw puts out 190. its shitty. i have a 328i convertible that doesnt get driven because its slow, heavy, and i hate it....and i bought a honda s2000 and i think i found true love.

**denyo77** · 12-30-2007, 03:59 PM

easy, dude

**estpaul** · 12-30-2007, 04:25 PM

it just makes me uneasy when guys like him go to different sites souly to talk s*it about other people and their cars

craig · 12-30-2007, 04:52 PM

i agree, either he didnt know how to drive, or he just bought a regular imreza(SP) and tried to make it look like a WRX. my bug could would walk all over your s2000(untill about 70, hehe)

ricers can burn in hell
