Thumbs up muchos happy

just picked up my wrx sportswagon.

it had 12 miles on it, now has 50 and it feels very tight, but with huge
potential higher up the rev range....sounds just like a "4-pot 911" too!!!

looks the absolute lizzard's sack in crystal grey as it virtually
matches the alloys :-)

one thing i am going to do is get the alignment set up for fast road use, as
a small camber adjustment will make it even better...it just feels a little
bit "factory-that'll-do" at the mo, and lots of peeps on here have said that the factory tolerances are "wide"...

and it's sooooooooooo feckin' balanced...feels like the centre of gravity is
under the road :-)))))


pant pant pant oh bugger, that looks like man-phat...

pics cumming soon..i don't want to look like a ***-sukker by going out into
the road and taking digi pics just yet...


have a good weekend, sorry 'bout the glory-rant

ps...i know they are thirsty, but it seems VERY thirsty at the mo...is this down to a tight new engine...will it get a "bit" better with more miles??

You have to give it a good 5k miles before she will loosen up enough for you to see what she can do, though after the 1k oil change most people then add rpm by 500 per x ammount of miles.
