The radiator? That's a joke, right? Sorry, I'm pretty dense I guess.
You wanna see the stock intercooler? It's not too pretty.

Adding an STi wing requires a lot of drilling, and leaves the stock wing's mounting holes exposed (under the new wing, but still open). I'm looking for an STi owner who's willing to trade trunks with me. A lot of guys don't like the big flashy wing and want to replace it with either a regular WRX wing, or a spoilerless WRX trunk. Just a matter of shipping expenses.

It's a rally car platform, and looks correct at the current ride height. No need for a drop.

Looking good!

How quick is a WRX now? I've only heard about the STI numbers.

Wait,,, I 'm not experienced with SUBARU's boxers. I thought there is an intercooler in the front (beside the bumper) and a nice oil radiator over the engine block, with the STI logo on it. Am I wrong?

Yea.
That "radiator" is a top-mount intercooler. EVOs have a front-mount intercooler. The WRX motor is a flat-four turbo with a top-mount intercooler, similar to a Porsche 996 (kinda, sorta).
And only the STi's intercooler says STi on it.

Stock:
0-60 in 5.4
1/4-mile in 14.4
Judging by feel, I'd say my car is capable of high 13's. But there's only one way to find out.

Ask and ye shall recieve.
Here's an STi engine bay.


This is a regular WRX engine bay, basically stock with some silicone hoses.
