I am at the limit of the 550 cc/min injectors. I could easily put larger injectors and turbo on and make more power, but would probably lose the drivability I have now. The tuner and the guys at the shop said the car is faster than an STi due to the weight difference. I'm happy with the power of the car and the fact I can drive it. That's more important that being a big number dyno queen with horrible drivability ;)

well said...^^^

although the cars are similair in weight, your whp is more than a stock STI. which is impresive since you can daily drive the car and still have fun.
I will say this, my car wasnt a dyno queen. it was driven and used daily. but it does have its pros and cons as any built car will have.

I had the WRX pro tuned last weekend, before I parked it.
293 whp and 332 wtq.

Now it, and my Mustang are parked, and the Legacy is on duty. Image

Also added these lights to the Legacy yesterday:[
My right rear speaker:
My left rear speaker:

So I put some Boston Acoustics I had laying around in.

I think I may add my CDT audio speakers into the front come next spring. I don't know what condition the fronts are in, but they sound pretty good still.

Josh, true statement. Wasn't trying to say anything negative, I love your car! And I agree on having drivability over huge numbers..

Cleaned snow off of it! Have to like the first snow fall especially when driving a Sube. Also gathering parts for a Robtune:)

You had an awesome winter last year so hopefully it continues again this year. Got about 6 to 8 inches. Major part of the storm just missed us. Tomorrow the snow tires go on and it will be the first winter with them. Should be unstoppable now!

I drove 5 seasons on regular summer tires in my 98 legacy gt. I got good at it. Haha now I slay anything in my path with Blizzaks.

That's awesome! I did two winters on the radials and got stuck but always managed to get out. My demise was when my ABS would randomly go out and my brakes would stick. Throw me right in the ditch almost every time. Only had to wait 5 to 10 minutes until a 4x4 would stop and pull me out though. Never figured that ABS issue out. I hope it's gone this year!

Lol your right, well maybe it will be a new car with low miles. The thing is we bought the car with under 50k on the clock.
