Thats good.

I meant do you guys think it looks good or not.

sperry · 2004-03-15, 01:52 PM

The rims are a bit too blingy.. the C/F looks kinda funny somehow, and they should have gotten tires atually wide enough to fit those wheels.

But I bet that thing's fast as hell.

Nick Koan · 2004-03-15, 02:13 PM

If he painted the CF, I'd be okay with it. The hood vents are a bit much, but its really the color that gets me.

zrallyman · 2004-03-15, 03:55 PM

well, he has an expensive hot air intake, and an ugly c/f hood.

Kostamojen · 2004-03-15, 04:07 PM

Im more interested in what color that other WRX is in the garage...?

Don't you know that the hotter the intake, the more efficient your boost fluid becomes?

Well to a point, at about 200 C, boost fluid begins to harmonate with the turbo's fusler spindel, resulting in fluid spin-out where the boostonium particulates vaporize leaving your boost fluid flat and inactive. I run synthetic boost fluid, so I can hang to about 220 C before spin-out, which is why I run a modified insta-hot on my coolant hose and a reverse air-to-water intercooler to keep my intake temps up.

Man, I hate it when my boost fluid gets flat and inactive.

BADBORA · 2004-03-15, 06:28 PM

Looks pretty awesome. It's definetely fast ass hell.

tysonK · 2004-03-15, 06:29 PM

keep it all white.

BADBORA · 2004-03-15, 06:31 PM

I don't know, the carbon fiber does look good on white though.

BOO · 2004-03-15, 08:46 PM

But Ofcourse Carbon Fiber Looks good on white

On the other hand .. he Killed it with that Hood.. If the hood would have been all carbon fiber No Vents, Then I can see why it would look good .. also If his intentions were to put a CF hood, then he should have gone with a Powder coated/Black set of wheels...

JoshmkII · 2004-03-15, 11:51 PM

ya, the hood is just to much, I love CF but the added vents and using an STi look scoop when you no longer have the intercooler.....

kamenrider · 2004-03-17, 10:19 PM

well... its umm.. am I too new to this forum to say its something I'll never do?=P

BADBORA · 2004-03-17, 10:37 PM

Of course not.

LetItRev · 2004-03-18, 01:45 PM

Is it forbidden to paint a cf hood and trunk? Does this guy think it looks cool or something?

ArthurS · 2004-03-18, 02:46 PM

Its not forbidden, but by painting the hood or trunk, you are now adding more weight...which sort of defeats the purpose...

Of course I don't know how much weight paint adds.

BADBORA · 2004-03-18, 03:19 PM

1,000lbs.

STIwish · 2004-03-18, 04:18 PM

I personally think it DOES look cool with unpainted CF... im a CF fan on just about any color
