welcome!
that is low :eek: springs? coilovers?

hehe something like that ;)

Nice work Joshy, I knew you'd come to the dark side!!

For all those that dont know, Josh is an expert at dropping 2nd gear in most RWDs, not so sure how successful he'll be with his WRX though..

welcome mate, was your old rx7 bright orange?

nahh it was rare 1989 gunmetal grey, then i changed it to black...

how come there are different number plates in the photo's?

because i just changed em the other day :P haha

OI u stole my initials :p

welcome josh :)

carls

hey josh u work at ezone ey?

Hey Josh, who did your exhaust and are you happy with it?

Gunn

aww
i loved your black rx7 :)

ohwell, welcome.

ehe yeah i used to work at ezone. The car came with a 3inch exhaust, i just slapped ht emuffler on there. Muffler Magic did that. Im very happy with it.

Dude i cant believe how clean that 99 is. I used to have my exhaust that low, the cops up here kept hassling me about it so i had to get it modified, not it runs right along the transmission line. Did the same with the STI spoiler, until i showed them the Subaru website...

Josh is sponsored by Ryobi power tools :violent1:

black and decker thanks paul ;)

I dont think ill be going much lower then it is now bm747 and it only scrapes on biggish speed bumps so its not toooooo bad. Bumpy as tho

Welcome from another convert.

Wicked Sticks...like i said, car is very nice and clean.

Did the series 5 have a 13B in it? They tend to pull pretty well compared to a stock wrx

I'd say Josh's WRX would hose his old RX7 ;)

their two entirely different setups. The rx7 felt like it wanted to go to 300, put after 170-180 the wrx wouldnt pull the skin off a rice pudding. But this wrx is a bit of a freak, ive been chopping cars that it really shouldnt be chopping considering the little modifications

Thats what i like to hear!! My brother has a series 6 FD, and he and i hita little over 240km/h in it on tonkin hwy. That was f****n scary as, it started to wobble and felt as though it wanted to fly...That was only reaching the top of 4th to...

Brilliant cars, pity all they do is f**k up

welcome where is the photos taken how u get that close to the water

cheers

tim

next to UWA on the river, after the australia 2 drive theres a little carpark with a boatramp, we just drove down onto it.

yer i seen u boot it onto leach hwy while back :D must have been before you "lowered it" think you saw me !!

haha yeah i remember seein ya. Gonna "lower it" some more this w.end

Goddamn, how could ya get it much lower? Hopefully not chopy chopy actions.
How severely has the ride/handling been affected?

It does look nice as is, any lower and you'll be scrapping your arse when you go over painted lines!

And ignore Bakks if he encourages you. He's a bad inluence! :D

I'd encourage him if he had proper suspension! But I think hes stupid if he wants to run around on 1 coil! :D

oh josh
thats "fu#$in darrrmmmpeedd
lol
on the bump stops or what?

nahhh not yet, still got some travel. It only needs a little bit more at the front so i dont look like im permalaunching :P
