Devilfish! dont go---I like your water spray set up too much and you cant go until you have installed one for me!

Back on topic.If your car is clean I would add another 1 or 2K on top of the red book prices.....but your rex looks like its white so that may cost you...not so popular...(stir stir!).

Dude if you havent taken your rex to the track you missing what its all about. Not a fool that takes his car to the track - I think its a fool that doesnt take this type of car to the track....

Its a safe environment...safer than the roads and you can drive as fast as you feel comfortable with....your car is newish so nothing breaks as long a you check the essentials before you go and dont flog it to death!

I think track time is the most fun you can have with your pants on!

So your calling 70% of the people here on this forum a "fool".

nice going.

I too use my car as my "daily" form of transport to work, not only that i do alot of r&d work on it too to which many people benefit later on down the track. A WRX is not some kind of glass car which will break over 4500 rpm, people break cars because they either don't know how to drive, don't know how to use a gearbox properly or do stupid things to it.

Maybe its time for you to "upgrade" to a Hyundai with unlimited km warranty.

Hah this thread makes me laugh.

Am I the only one that see's the irony in this?

Happy to flog it on a public road, but not on a proper track...

Personally my opinion is either toughen up or go buy something else. If you are accumulating points, learn2drive at the speed limit. There are lots of awesome Perth roads to drive on and the quality of the roads is actually very good. I don't have any points against my name, nor have I ever lost my licence, yet I have lots of fun on the road.

Unless you are on the Autobahn or something, you can't really go much faster anywhere else. 130kmh or 110kmh same same.

P.S. I also track my daily - track it hard. And I am yet to have an issue with it.

LOL Kato I was going to say the same thing. WA roads are boring, speed limits are too low yet I don't want to track my car WTF.............

Let me get this straight, you want to travel at high speeds on roads with many potential hazards like trees and potholes etc........but you won't take your car on a skid pan where the max speed you will reach is 80-100kmph but learn and enjoy driving your car?

Only a fool would track their daily well mate I CALL YOU A FOOL FOR THIS STUPID THREAD!

+1 for Forester XT
I've taken mine camping from Cape Arid to Coral Bay, taken it to WAW and AHG
beach runs on Wedge Island , Whitehills to Binningup
the versatility is brilliant
you will be amazed by its offroad ability especially with power upgrades.
It can go almost anywhere a Jeep can but a Jeep can't do 13s down the Motorplex!
