Subaru Impreza WRX STi WR1, 2004, by Prodrive. Prodrive Advanced Technology are best know for their work with Subaru's WRC team. The WR1 was a special edition of 500 cars to celebrate Petter Solberg winning the Driver’s Title in the 2003 World Rally Championship. It was modified by Prodrive to produce 320hp and was equipped with a driver’s control centre-differential (DCCD) that allowed torque distribution between front and rear wheels to be manually selected.

Tell us about your current and past motor vehicles
gladly! this is gonna be a long post
this was my first car, she was a 1984 mercedes 300D turbodiesel. her name was clifford, named after a button on the dash from a defunct security system. in-line five diesel engine, sounded like a truck, was built like a truck, LOVED this car. i paid $600 for her in 2016. she had 308k miles when i bought her, and she went to the scrapyard with 314k the next year when the hood latches broke while i was on the highway and sent the hood into the windshield. i was okay but the repairs were just too much for a $600 car. she was awesome though, a real head turner even with her peeling clearcoat and plumes of diesel smoke
then there was the corolla! 1999, manual transmission. the best car i’ve ever owned. not my favorite but definitely objectively the best. bought off a friend also for $600, around 210k miles. surprisingly fun to drive, very reliable. drove from north carolina to massachusetts in that car, and then across massachusetts every week. her name was wanda, which carried over from the previous owner. drover her for a little over a year before the brakes failed and i rear ended someone
i replaced the corolla with an ‘05 mazda3 i called the tick, after the cartoon character. also bought from a friend. kept it through early 2021 i think, drove it through most of early quarantine. i didn’t love this car personally, in large part because the transmission and starter both went out on me within the first two months of ownership and the friend i bought it from was entirely unsympathetic. i sold it to my shitty roommate lol
and then for some reason my mom gave me a sports car. she bought a new honda civic and handed down her 2004 subaru wrx wagon, with the manual transmission and everything. she’d named it the millennium falcon so i called her falcon. this car was a blast to whip around. that turbo boxer engine sounded amazing and this thing RIPPED on the highway. the biggest issues with it were that it really didn’t have all that much character on the road, and it took premium gas, so fill ups were EXPENSIVE. i sold her after having her for a few months because the clutch went out and i was quoted $2k to replace it because that’s what happens when you have a sports car. sold it as is to a guy with two other wrxs who wanted to fix it up and use it as a work car
this is the current baby! bit of an older picture because she looks uhhh worse these days but this is clifford jr the 2001 jeep cherokee xj. i’ve learned so much with this car, done a bunch of the work on her myself. she’s a fixer upper im reaching my limit on but she’s served me remarkably well and is my favorite car i’ve owned. not fast, not good on gas, but god she’s got some character. just rolled over 256k miles
like i said i’m reaching my wits end with the jeep, every time i fix something two more things break, and i can’t afford for her to keep being a money pit. so i’m starting to save for something else, ideally a late 80s honda or toyota, or a panther body sedan, like a ford crown victoria or mercury grand marquis

Part of an article where Kazuyoshi Hoshino (former racecar driver for Nissan and founder of Impul) drives and rates some cars from the opposition. This section he is evaluating the Tommi Makinen EVO VI and the Subaru Impreza WRX STI version VI.
Section 2
"I wanted to ride it once!" First test drive
In the Heisei era's game description of the Lancer Evo VS Impreza battle
Japan's fastest man makes a decision!
Even though I lost my voice due to the intense power,
dissatisfied with handling.
The famous Heisei game, Lan Evo vs Impreza, is a standard showdown plan even for the best cars. After repeated wins and losses, the current models of both cars eventually became the current final models.
The models prepared this time are the GSR Evolution VI Tommy Makinen Edition for the Lan Evo and the WRX STi Version V Limited for the Impreza.
Hajime Hoshino will judge this showdown.
Righteousness. I have never driven either car before, so this will be my first drive. The actors are ready!
Kazuyoshi Hoshino said, "Well, I've always wanted to try these two cars," and let the two big monster 4WDs run to their heart's content. Let's reproduce the impression immediately after the test drive.
■ LANEVO
(I got out of the car and was at a loss for words for a while). This is amazing....... To put it bluntly, this power is not normal. This is no ordinary car. Power!
Too much! And the steering is weird. The power steering is too effective and there is no response, and I can't grasp the feeling at all. I hate it because the steering always has the same weight no matter what the situation. Feeling like an old American car.
PIC CAPTION
A thorough test drive on two cars that "I wanted to ride once"!
I can't grasp the feeling of grip. The engine is abnormal. If you tell me to praise you, I will praise you, but this is beyond praise. I wonder if they are boosting up. I can't believe it's the power of a commercial car.
The clutch also seems to be a racing specification (equipped with twin plates for the test vehicle), and the sound of the differential is also worrisome. If you wear a helmet and run hard on the circuit, you won't notice that, but if you're on a public road, you'll notice it.
Like a 4-wheel drive, there is a sense of security when turning the power on and off, and the front-to-rear balance is good, but the steering doesn't give you a good grip.
That's why I ran with suspicion. Whether the grip is still there or is gone, I was fumbling around and couldn't figure out the limit, but I just kept running like I had power!
It would be nice to say that the style is rough like running on a dirt road, but it doesn't feel urban. It's a bit too rugged for my taste.
■ Impreza
Suspension is Lan Evo
This one is more like a juggling horse
It's pretty mild.
I feel enough power.
It gets a little dull from 3500 to 4000 rpm, but there is a lot more than that and it turns around 8000 rpm.
Rather than waiting for a 9000 rpm engine like a Honda to reach the top, this engine
3000~7000 like
Use about 4000 rpm
It's easier on public roads. However, although the response is good and the sound when it revs up is also good, I don't really like the sound of misfiring at low and medium speeds.
I think the suspension should be a little stiffer on both bumps and rebounds so that the car doesn't roll over. The Lancer is harder and has better athletic performance.
The Impreza is a little too soft and becomes unstable when attacking hard. But I don't want to make it too hard, so if possible, it might be interesting to make the rebound side a little stronger. The driver's control center differential feels very different depending on how you adjust it. If you put it in the front (differential lock), the front torque will be stronger and the steering will feel more responsive. Conversely, the rearmost (differential free)
If you do it, the response of the handle will be Get out, under
Sorry but power over
be. You can change that beautifully just by adjusting the dial.
So if you're afraid of running out of power on a slippery road, you can bring it forward, and the weight of the steering wheel will change dramatically, but it's all free like FF or FR. You can. This is the first time. Interesting.
■ Judgment
If it's a time attack, the Lancer would be a few tenths faster. But the Impreza's control differential and horizontally-opposed engine are quite tasteful. Which one is better? Impreza is more interesting. In terms of speed, if the suspension could be made a little harder, I think it would be on par with the Lancer, but the Lancer's suspension is better.
The Impreza is my favorite conclusion.
PIC CAPTIONS
Hard suspension Lancer Evo and mild suspension Impreza. 4WD monster sports boasting unbeatable speed!
Although they have the same 2-liter turbo and 280 horsepower, they are the super units of Lancer Evo and Impreza, each with their own characteristics. Demonstrate power that surprises even the fastest man in Japan!

Subaru Impreza STi Cosworth CS400 (1 of 75).
The Subaru Impreza became popular during the 1990's when the likes of the late Colin Mcrae and Richard Burns flew through the rally stages dominating the WRC. This certainly sparked a huge interest and following for the Subaru Impreza, which led to models such as the type RA and WRX being imported from Japan. After the hugely successful first and second generations, Subaru gave us the third generation.
This was launched in April 2007 at the New York Motor Show, with the WRX STI following close by in October 2007. Available as a 5-door hatchback model, this was something quite different to previous 4-door saloon versions of the Impreza. When the STI was launched it had gained some width, (56mm), and some extra track, (38mm), which improved handling. This was a bonus with the extra power from the flat-four turbocharged Boxer engine producing 303bhp.
This level was stepped up when Cosworth tuners breathed their magic into the Impreza, and the result was the Subaru Impreza WRX STI CS400. This model became the fastest roadgoing model made by Subaru with 0-62 in 3.7 seconds, a standing quarter mile 12.75 seconds and limited to 155mph. The CS400 was limited to Great Britain, all right-hand drive and just 75 made.

Title: WMMT5DX+ to WMMT6 Changes w/ Riya's TRUE IMPREZA
IMPORTANT NOTE: I haven't posted my recent Wangan Maxi Tune experience, this month. So maybe, I could post at least once before doing some art stuff? Who knows? 🤔🤷♀️ Anyways, let's head over to my throwback...
The changes between 5DX+ and the No. 6 installment weren't as thin as before. 🤏 While the gameplay and graphics haven't changed since WMMT4 (well, kind of...?), the features from transferring data from 5DX+ to WMMT6 were a bit of a mixed bag. 😕 Like the "Extreme" VS Player mode was gone (which is an excitement challenge), and other body parts were removed, like "Body Stickers." The latter was my main concern for my 350Z and the Speedster's Impreza cars (GDB-C & GDB-F). Take Riya's Impreza Car [GBD-F].
• ABOVE PHOTO 🖼️📲: (Jan. 12,2019 at World Of Fun Arcade, SM Megamall) Here could you see her car itself was a custom body from "Racing Stripe 2" with pink color, GT Wing (3D) 1, Aero Parts C, Enkei Racing WRX TARMAC EVO Limited Edition FORGED Wheels, and FRP Bonnet A. All of them are equipped on her except her color because I need to unlock the "Light Blue" color (which is her color choice) by playing it many times.
• BELOW PHOTO 🖼️📲: Six months later, the WMMT6 was finally in the Philippines, and here's how her car was without all of the customs bodies except the Aero Parts - I picked the letter "H" for a different look. So why all of her custom bodies are wiped out except the entire Aero Parts are completely unlocked? Well because BNA (Bandai Namco Amusement) had a plan to return the level-up unlock body parts (after you beat a ghost car opponent(s)) which I've seen before in WMMT3DX+ among with predecessors, seems that in exchange for wiping off all custom cars to newly features like upgrade to 840HP when I finished the 100 episodes of "Story Mode" (that's also returned from previous Wangan Maxi installments), replacing RUF cars to Porsche brand, purchased a fully tuned ticket/ Mazda MX-5 RF RS [NDERC]/ Nissan Leopard with my Maxi Points, an improved "Online Ghost VS Battle" etc... So tbh and my opinion, well bit disappointing but very understandable so I respect that.
To this day, the developers of Wangan Maxi Tune are ongoing with updates and changes for both 6RR and 6RR+. And the latter installment has yet to be proven if it shipped to Southeast Asia 🇵🇭🇸🇬🇲🇾🇮🇩🇧🇳🇻🇳🇹🇭, and selected regions like Australia 🇦🇺, New Zealand 🇳🇿, and India 🇮🇳. North America 🇺🇸, on the other hand, still had the old (yet vanilla) 5DX+ installment... 😐😑
Riya 🐰🏎️ [wearing Teenager Hoppy and Teenager CatNap's clothes combined]: *Sigh* Yeah, and I bet we won't see our signature "Twin Stripes" sticker body, anytime soon. 😥 Even the launching 6RR+ installment to us, it won't happened. Curse you, BNA! 😐😑

I picked my poison 😈
Rally racing I choose you!!!!!
so, let's start with some context.
rally is a type of racing defined by sharp turns, mixed road surfaces, and narrow, technical racecourses. it's split into two categories, stage rally and rallycross, with the big-name series for each being the World Rally Championship (WRC) and World Rallycross (WRX) respectively.
rallycross is the more conventional of the two, taking place on a circuit (racetrack that loops back to the starting line) built specifically to host races. there are a set number of laps, and the first driver to the finish wins. there are some other details, such as a one-way starting area outside the track where cars build up speed before entering the circuit, and whatever the fuck a Joker Lap is (i think it's a one-time shortcut per driver? idk WRX isn't my main interest)
stage rally is a bit more of a standout. in its modern form, it consists of frame-reinforced, six hundred horsepower, jacked-up hatchbacks absolutely screaming down back-country roads, paved or not, in any weather as long as drivers can see about a dozen meters ahead of themselves. here's an example of a modern WRC rally car from a few years back:
races are centered around a specific area, and are divided into "stages" (hence the name). stages are point-to-point courses on closed-off public roads, often having the edges of the track marked only by flexible plastic fencing. cars run one at a time, with the shortest time from point A to point B being the winner. each car carries a crew of two: driver and navigator. the driver, as one would assume, operates the vehicle (throttle/brakes, steering, gear changes) while the navigator holds a map of the stage and calls out "pace notes," which include the direction/sharpness of upcoming turns, road hazards such as water or jumps, and advises caution where necessary.
a major difference between rally and other forms of racing is how drivers treat loss of traction. in conventional racing, if a car loses grip, something has gone very wrong, and the driver has to immediately attempt to regain traction in order to avoid being passed. in rally, loss of traction is simply a given, and serves as a tool the driver can use for particularly technical sections of a stage.
time for more context! when a wheeled vehicle loses traction, it can either occur as an all-wheel slide, or a partial loss of traction. for partial loss, it presents as either oversteer or understeer. understeer occurs when the front wheels lose traction in a turn, resulting in the car simply continuing in a straight line (not good).
oversteer is the fun part.
you see, maneuvering in a vehicle is a matter of directional stability, and two out of four wheels losing grip results in extremes of stability. where understeer makes a car very stable in terms of where the nose is pointed, oversteer induces instability, causing the car to spin. and when horizontal grip is limited (i.e. you're driving on dirt, sand, gravel, or snow), forward grip can actually be used to steer.
by breaking the rear wheels into a slide by means of hard steering, sudden throttle input, or a hydraulic emergency brake that exclusively locks the rear wheels in place, an experienced driver can induce instability, causing the rear of the car to swing in the opposite direction the driver is turning. basically, turn sharply to the right, and the rear wheels will slide to the car's left. since the 80s, basically all rally cars have been all-wheel drive, meaning the engine sends power to all four wheels. by spinning the car to face the direction you want to go, the front wheels can then be used to course-correct, letting the driver slide sideways through a corner without letting off of the throttle while the rear wheels push the car towards the inside of the corner.
due to the benefits of managing instability, rally tends to naturally favor cars with a shorter wheelbase (distance between front and rear wheels) which have more leverage to effectively spin the car around on demand.
the technical term for this kind of maneuver is "functional oversteer," but is known more commonly as powersliding or drifting. it's basically an alternative to ordinary cornering for loose terrain. or for being stylish, if you're on pavement.
since the cars can handle losing traction, races occur regardless of things like fog, rain, snow, or time of day. this differs from pure-pavement motorsports such as Formula One or NASCAR, which only race in slight rain (with NASCAR racing exclusively in dry weather).
lemme know if you wanna hear more!
