I think you need abit of everything, cars that are all looks but no go are gay.

cars that look stink, well look stink...

Wanna about, looks like stink, but has go! Thats what I like.

But if you mean by stink, different coloured panels, stone chips, dented rear bar etc.

Then thats still okay, If it has go - But I wouldn't want to own it haha.

I think dubbedup and I are on the same wave.

Power with downgraded exterior.

lol i didnt say anything was wrong with them, standy looking cars that go fast get my thumbs up.

i said if they look stink then they look stink lol

well, as i own a bc5 that was f&*^ed by the last owner, mine goes fixups, fixups and more fixups. then when ive finished that i will let you know!!!

by the way, if we all own subies, why isnt anyone else spending money on fixups???

Haha, yea I went off on a bit of a tangent on that last one ;D

[Pappu1]

so running an external with scremer pipe on spring pressure (7-8psi) so it screams its tits off... what is that?

show/power/looks/rice...sound?

lol.. just curious coz i have seen a few cars whoz external opens at the drop of 2500rpm or so indicating v low boost lol... but sounds very racey/aggressive/(dare i say) ho bait.....

When running waste gate pressure (7psi) is my old car, used to sound like shit, got told by more than one person to, tractor waste gate lol

At least 1 bar needed to sound good with a waste gate

i just like my cars too be a bit different really, 2 tone now, and sti blue, havent seen another car the same which is cool,

power, well its turbo and most turbos go quick,just the basics keep me happy

handling was 1st on mine, lowered and now got strut bar,feels better then a boat anyway

[nt_a_foz]

The forester was about loooks mostly but did performance 2..

This time round with teh r definatly a differnet car and focused more on performance, but also havent skimped on looks but notihng over the top going for a bit of a "Race spec" look lol..Plain and simple..

[Silver Surfer]

Both.

To be 100% honest, I'm not a big Japanese performance car fan. Subarus and Nissan Skylines are the only cars I like from Japan, the GTR being my favorite Nissan, I'd never spend money on one but respect is due. I'm into American cars (flaming begins lol) but have always loved the GTB wagons. I like my cars very subtle and tastefully done. Can't stand cheap looking cars with 18 body kits, stickers, 5ft wings, altezza lights and the only engine mod being a CAI kit LMAO! They're the reason Japanese cars get soooo much grief about being "rice". Lowered a tad, nice 18" rims and some nice custom tastefully done touches IMO are the way to go. If I had to choose, it would have to be looks. I'd rather have a nice cruising car than an utter POS that looks like a crap but can go fast - you can't polish a turd.

handling..even stock Subies can have more than enough power for some. Then just a little bit more power...

[WRXER]

That is a good point, the amount of wrapped subbis I've seen around does point out to many the power of a stock wrx or sti is far too much.

[evlRA]

I would modify a standard subaru in this order:

sparco lip

air filter

exhaust

adjustable suspension

suspension adjustments i.e sway bars etc.

race rims with good rubber

good fluid, pads, disks

link ECU, injectors, fuel pump and tune

after that things just get expensive and complicated
