Hello
 

Hi guys

I am looking at buying a blob eye scooby wrx for track days and general fun, I have been driving a heavily track modified Megane RS225 but a few of my friends have gone for high powered classic scoobys and EVO 4's.
What are the blob wrx's like on track and in general ? can they take the stick you give them on track ?

Cheers

if your running high power i would think the 5 speed box in a wrx would be the weak point
possibly better buying an sti as it would have a six speed box which is stronger and also brembo brakes and more power from standard.
also if your modding for more power it has a better engine with avc heads

How much do you reckon for a Bug or Blob sti ??

not sure mate check on piston heads i would say about 4.5 to 5 k for a bug and 6k for a blob.
if you have the money go for a late blob 05 on as it will have wider track and dccd gearbox

was thinking of spending 4-4.5 i believe the later blob 05 has a better chassis setup in the sti & wrx ?? so it would be an old bug sti or a later blob wrx ?? what does everyone reckon ??

the 05 blob would be better as it has a wider track and dccd gearbox.
for track use i would go for the bug sti as it has a 6 speed box and brembos and would be cheaper to tune for more power.

thats made my decission even harder as i prefer the look of the blob but love the track ????!!!!!!?????

the wrx is fine mate just the sti is more performance orientated so better for the track

A bug STI, with DCCD and Brembo's is ideal for your needs.

You can tell the widetrack veriant but the arch addistions on the back. You can get STI without the widetrack version. Also the PCD is different the normal one is 5 x 100 while the later models are 5 x 114.

But why don't you get what you are thinking of originaly and get some BC Coilovers fitted.

That's what I was thinking coilovers, DS3000 pads and vented discs, Decat and remap. What's the best engine mods to do first to get a bit more torque out of the corners ?
