TimTaylor751647545500 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I could care less who is bringing that car back, I wouldn't like it regardless. It's a horrible looking car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hwilli1647545487 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 There is a very involved thread about this car on Supraforums. As noted currently, there will be no AWD or turbo versions. Still for what it is meant to be, an inexpensive, RWD, light, good handling car, i would consider buying one myself. You can always add a turbo later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 If it's not a high-revving NA motor, I'll be less than interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewhop Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Do you think it will look ok with a external oil cooler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorne Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 The basis for this new radical project is to take Subaru's well-known 4WD powertrain and modify it to create a new rear-wheel-drive setup. Slated to be built at Subaru's Gunma plant in Japan, both Toyota and Subaru models will employ a revised version of the naturally aspirated boxer 2.0-liter unit generating around 220 horsepower at 6,500 rpm, mated to a six-speed manual gearbox from the current Impreza WRX STI. that is already screaming ej257 swap. http://www.stiblog.com/ http://www.ridelust.com/rumors-swirl-about-the-2011-toyota-celica-a-subaru-toyota-street-legal-speed-demon/ There is talk of a GT-4 300hp 2.0 Meaning we will have the EJ207 high revving engine in the US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I hope the motor is a high rev motor. Car reminds me of a Mazda product (the nose). I hope Toyota comes up with their own engine to be honest they are so well known for their high revving motors and their strong high power engines. Not bashing on Subaru's platform, I own one too.

Furloaf Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I'll really, really want one if they manage to keep the weight down. Terrible trend lately of making "sports cars" >3000lbs. I would love to see this car come in at 2600lbs or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Um I already own a ej257 wECU and turbo that could go right in. And makes most likely almost 400 at the crank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorne Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 thorne, save your breath, please. Don't hate 400rwhp Toyotru. If I make 335whp AWD what do we think it would make rwd. 360? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First I was like: subieyota > genesis but now im like: genesis > subieyota Not a deal breaker, but I know it will sound like a subaru, and I'm not a big fan of that noise either.

Better off with http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1337/608803326_631e1c3409.jpg or wrx/STi motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh8sti Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 trust me, stock subaru motors are junk. I blew mine up in literally 20 some thousand miles. Going built is the only way to go with these motors, otherwise your on borrowed time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny 70k on mine no issues, no oil burnt, can't complain with a turbo maxed out. been this way since mile 17,000. Wish mine would go so I could build it and throw on a larger snail.

I'm betting he had the issue many new WRX's were having. With the oiling problem or whatever it turned out to be. I know there have been shit tons of people who've had to take their car back and have the motor replaced. Most of them under warranty.

I hate the idea of them putting a boxer motor in something like that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Bailey Tuned SpaceGhosts I bet his car goes to 200K if he properly maintains it Bryon Meade Tuned Big Nick's 300AWHP EJ205 "Which is a weaker motor" broke at 200K. It had a great tune that did not knock or have fuel issues.- Draco has a Cobb STi runs great Really ask yourself this. Did you really get asked to pay to retune something that was so WRONG that you already knew it was broken, you even told me that you thought the motor was blown before work ever started back on it. All that being said Subaru Fails at anything other then the 6speed. The 5speed STi RA's are not a bad gear, mine have held up great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong but I was pretty sure of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
