Car: MY07 G11 WRX-TR WRB. Rep Power: 91   |  The WRX. Some new pictures taken yesterday at Mortons Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois.   My car now has the RA-R red stripe around the center grille.  A young Coyote.  He ambled off. Coyotes are for the most part too scared of humans, they rather chase down rabbits and squirrels.  So, besides the RA-R stripe, my only mod to the car is unseen, but felt. I reflashed the ECU to Stage 1 specs, making it around 225 wheel horsepower, Supposedly. And it cost me nothing, since a person I work with bought a OBDII cable with a USB end for his 2002 WRX, and the program is easily attainable through downloadable means. The ECU's on WRX's and STi's are made to be fiddled with, and Subaru really corks up their engines from the factory. Now the engine doesn't fall flat on it's face at 4,000 rpms, but keeps pulling to redline. Oh, and the speed limiter is gone, so I can technically go 180 MPH, calculated on gearing. So far the fastest this car has gone is 135....ish.  Have I ever mentioned I love this car? It is like Subaru wants you to fiddle with the settings, see if you can extract every bit of power out of it. I suppose sometime I will lower it using STI "pink" springs (anything lower than 15mm make the car handle worse, believe it or not) Larger front and rear sway bars, and above all, better tires. Probably on Gold rims.
