[Subaru ETA]

I also posted this in the New car arrived thread but thought i had better start my own!

out of interest - the lancer GDI turbos anyone know anything about them?

has anyone had any experiance with them? i would usually stay away from GDI but with the turbo are they different?

if i had the money, this would be sitting in my carport...

They don't have a massive amount of power. They would feel like an n/a 2.0-2.2 engine I reckon. And of course they'll need 98 octane.

I'd stick with a 2.0 turbo or 2.4 n/a airtrek. Or even one of the 3.0 v6 outlanders if you could afford it. They are a genuinely superb car with a super smooth engine and gearbox.

yeah i had read that before but are those power figures just for the pajero version? i mean would th epajero be detuned?

i may take one for a strop and see what i goes like

Basically the same amount of power.

Also going down to a fwd 4 cylinder makes jesus cry

so power ratio compared to the Mivec v6 of mine would be??

Q, your Legnum would be a bit faster once above 6000rpm.

Nice...

guy here at work test drove one, was a very dissipointing, lacked power, felt like a 1600 in a over weight car

Whichever way one looks at it, it is a definite step down from a VR-4. In fact, not a step - probably a sheer drop.

A friend of mine brought one of these last year, his last car was a 1.8 GDI legnum so I guess it's a step up from that! and he is very happy with it. Although every time i put my hand up to be sober driver he is the first person to shotgun my car, and always says as soon as he is in the car can we go fast!

I would consider having one of these as my next car as my next car may not be a performance car and defiantly wont be modified!

[Subaru ETA]

yeah not seriously considering it - bit too small for my liking. however they do look good and thought it would be worth a try, see what they go like

[Rossco Type-S]

I haven't driven one, but I do know that the ECU is reflashable on them, so you could tune them to run on 98 and minimise the usual GDI issues.

Not sure what kind of power would be gained by a reflash.

But at the end of the day, doesn't matter what you do to the engine, it will still be 4wd and a 4sp auto. Would be big $$ to go to an EVO drivetrain.

[Subaru ETA]

well i had signed all the paper work yesterday to trade my car and was about to hand over the money when they turned around and said "o by the way, we can only give you half of what we first said as a trade on your car..."

needless to say the vr4 is still in the driveway

[Turbo_Steve]

Evo Wagon FTW.

Though the Vr4 engine sounds muuuch nicer.

[Subaru ETA]

BTW it was for an airtrek not a cedia wagon!

[Gly]

d!ckheads what was the original offer for the galant as a trade??

[bradc]

I'm keen to know too.

[mattnz]

Lol, they just tried to lowball you!

[Subaru ETA]
