I like that feeling from 1,500 RPM's.
I got a thing for torque.

Re: So my best friend let me drive his WRX...

I just got my car running right tonight (plugs and wires were BADLY needed). The boost builds to full stock levels and I can now cut the tires loose no problem, can't wait to get a new downpipe and turn up the boost!

Thourun are you serious? At stock levels I think I chirped my tires once shifting to 2nd. I can dump the clutch on a turn and break loose. But in a straight line, NEVER, even dumping it at 6k. You might want to check your tires, as you shouldn't be able to do that.

Re: So my best friend let me drive his WRX...

Yea round little corners (couldent do it before), and one of my tires dosent hold much pressure, only about 25psi but that should be ok after I get the rims fixed... I'll probably need a new tire though since it looks slightly damaged where the rim is bent, nothing to worry about though and they're cheep proxies I think... brand new though.

Re: So my best friend let me drive his WRX...

Yeah I generally run 38-30psi up front and 32-35 in the rear for normal driving. So 25 is definantly low and will wear down your tires significantly faster. I've had my fair share of bent and busted rims though...so I know how it is.

Re: So my best friend let me drive his WRX...

That's got to be fun with all that boost. But, if you think that's fun, ride in my friends 2001 WRX Cobb Tuned coupe. Yep, that's right COBB TUNED. 1 of 16 made he said, which is more than likely true. Also, being certified by BMW to work on their cars and being able to drive really well helps.

I thought Subaru hasn't made a coupe since the early 90s?? Maybe it's different in the USA....but are you saying it's a MY2001 WRX tuned by Cobb? Because there is no MY01 Coupe WRX.
