>most dudes like how they look
That's because most dudes are faggots with shit taste. Why do you think most dudes like the Miata?

>>17466765
fuck what they think, WRXs are god's gift

>>17466780
>All men are gay.
Y'know I hate to say it but I think I have to agree with you there.

>>17466810
Can confirm. I am gay and love getting Miatia owners to blow me out in public since they try so hard

Those bugeye WRXs are ugly as fuq.

Also women only like new cars so while you may think your teasing them, they think your a poorfag who needs a turbo to compensate for small genitalia.

>>17467305
no anon, they'll just think OP is poor. Their intelligence does not allow them to think past that.

Am I the only one who really really really would want to take the spoiler/wing off a WRX if they bought one

>>17466765
girls don't know anything and really don't care unless you're putting them on the spot and forcing them to come up with an opinion lol

like shit lol girls don't care about cars unless it doesn't have ac and its 90F out or the radio doesnt work or it breaks down somewhere

>>17467404
No.

>>17466765
>taking a woman's thoughts or opinions seriously ever

Hey guys probably a bit off topic but I'm thinking about buying a wrx and they appear to be good bang for your buck but hard to find an unbiased opinion on them so just wondering if the engine is as hard to work on as I've heard?

>>17467682
>good bang for your buck
i

>>17467696
I ride motorcycles bruh only got my learners for a car the other day please inform me if you know something I don't ive worked on a few cars though mainly r32 skylines and older evos though

>>17467713
wrx is ricer taxed, good luck getting a "good" deal on one

>>17467682
subarus are easy anyone who thinks otherwise just doesn't try hard enough

>>17467817
That is definitely true but I see the odd gf8 where I live stock as for around 1500-3000 with varying rego amounts and 85,000km - 180,000km
>>17467837
Most complaints seem to be based around headwork and engine mods but I hear of a few bitching about routine maintenance mainly sparkplugs

>>17466765
I do like the bugeye looks. It's hella quirky and while I disagree that it looks mad (it's like opposite of mad) I like the look, haters be damned.
But I gave up looking for one for myself after a short stint.

>>17467404
The one in OP? Yes, definitely would get rid of that one. Looks pretty gay, get a real spoiler OP.

>>17467713
>older evos
where are you that old evos are around?

>>17466765
Bug eyes look like aids. Peanut eyes and hawk eyes are the best.

Because they are a true mans car

>>17468198

ive always liked the look of the sti wing. should i get one even though my car isnt an sti

>>17470314
>That wing
Goddamnit almost choked on my drink.

>>17470232
Aus my dude mainly evo 3s n 5s and a bunch of wannabe 1-3 gsrs

>>17470551
5 onward sure but there are bugger all genuine 3 in Aus.

>>17470314
that miata is junk

>>17470607
Hence the bunch of wannabe gsrs with 63t conversions if I'm being honest maybe 2 genuine old evos ive laid my hands on

>>17470650
the import law for it is stupid. apparently the GSR was too similar to the evo so pre V can't be imported

>>17470654
Really?! I don't know much about the history of the car like I said I ride motorcycles but if that's true that's stupid as fuck

>>17467682
>Hard to work on
To be quite honest, everything could be a breeze to do on my Subaru if I had small hands.

I have a friend that's maybe 5'5" and he can work on it with great ease. His hands make mine look like Andre the Giants. At 5'11" I either hunch over or I have to jack the car up to work on it without inducing lower back pain.

I've had substantially harder times doing similar service on my GM vehicles in the past.

>>17467899
First time around spark plugs took me over two hours. Second time around, literally the next day, it took me about 15 minutes. I took a 3" extension and popped the pin detent out to make separating it from the spark plug socket easy to do. On top of that, I knew exactly how I wanted to utilize my extensions and ujoint adapters.

>Head work
Although I haven't had to pull mine, it looks like it'll be almost as easy as a Square body 350 swap. Okay, not quite as easy as a carb'd 350.

>>17466765
Is that a glorious 2002 WRX STI? If so it's a great car(drive one myself).

>>17467682
>>17467899

GC/GF8 WRXs are a little tougher because their bays are narrower (espc. frame rail clearance) but GDBs are reasonably easy.

Sparkplugs and Valve Cover Gaskets aren't that bad, use a swivel socket or the right extensions. I already did both, its actually reasonably easy IMO. Remove airbox/duct on right, remove battery and unbolt harness plugs on left and you have full access to the sides.

Headwork will suck (valve adjustments/headgaskets/etc) easier to just pull the motor which is pretty easy to do. My bigger complaint is the amount of turbo piping..

Other stuff that people don't mention is that the rest is reasonably easy to do even easier than other cars. Accessories are on top of the car, longitudinal transmission so a clutch isn't terrible to do, full front of the engine can be accessed removing the radiator making for easy belt changes, oil changes are well thought out. Turbo is reasonably accessible next to the intercooler.

Because blobeyes and hawkeyes look like tryhard edgy shit

Bugeyes are the only second-gen WRXs front-ends that look decent.

>Why do girls think they look weird and ugly?

Anybody with sense knows it's ugly and weird looking. Face it. It's a decent car but looks aren't why most people would buy it.

>>17466765
Explain why you care what they think. They won't be driving it and won't be riding in it.

>>17471758
Bugeyes acutally look pretty good in real life, I wasn't a fan of the car based on images, But when I saw it in real life and the owner told me it could fit 4 little girls in the trunk I was sold.

>>17467305
bugeye best eye

>>17471815
4?
how little?
