The Rig: Subaru Impreza WRX 2006

IHaSO shared a video:


The Rig is an attempt to ripoff Top Gear, but I figured out that it takes a lot more than just a handycam to achieve some real cool effects. But the movie is quite nice if you just see it has a nice review of the Impreza WRX 2006. It was created for my Dutch website, MPInc.nl. The higher quality version was available from my website, but this is now removed due to excessive data traffic.

Dude, it’s a proper sportscar. They don’t make them in automatic!:P At least, I hope not;)

hey are these available in automatic?

Just to clarify mine is 2.0 turbo 05 WRX, you probably get a bit less MPG in 2.5 litre engine anyway.

Funny thing is that STI is much more economical on the motorways or country roads. Turbo boost starts on higher revs and you get 6-speed gearbox in STI.

To be honest it’s not that expensive to run as people say. I use it as a family car to commute daily and I manage over 18 US MPG driving reasonably with This isn’t much worse than my old Civic did and certainly a good value for money when you think about performance. Servicing costs are not much higher than an average car – filters or oil changes won’t ruin your budget too!

I was planning to get impreza 05 or 07. Tho with these Gas price it sure **** up a notch. I love to have AWD mainly for good winter but my chance of picking a car mite be RSX Base model or Fit. Tho Impreza is still on my mind but need to think. Saving money or just grab tha impreza.

Hi! Nope, it’s not Sigur Ros. It’s a relatively unknown band, called Charmparticles. The song I used is A/O:)

#7 S0u11ess on 03.19.09 at 4:10 pm

whats the song that comes on after “the undiscovered”. It sounds kinda like sigur ros, but if it is I can’t identify the song.

Haha, I totally agree with you. The only guys who seem to react on my film nowadays are guys who think their car is better or faster than the one in the film.
The guy who posted the previous reaction…what the **** is he talking about?:P

I just love youtube comments. All these 16 years old guys spending whole day in front of their playstation just to write “I have this subaru”, “I have this porsche” or “my dad is taller than your dad”. Come on, give me some more :)

i have a wrx 04 model. td0518g turbo, sti pinks, baily fuel pump, magnex system, hyperflow front mount, HKS dump, full remap and getting 331 bhp. had the turbo limited to 1.5. next upgrade is expensive though. steel billet rods, forged pistons etc….. when thats done 500+bhp (after another remap)

#11 freza98 on 03.25.09 at 9:41 am

wot a jerk, does not no anyting about imperzas poor man, and better more just car tuning in general

#12 Spooka5000 on 03.26.09 at 10:56 pm

The “Rig” sure can rip a U-turn…

This **** fails

#13 IHaSO on 03.29.09 at 10:15 am

Dude, don’t get all stressed out man. It’s just the data Prodrive delivers, I told you nothing else. Go check yourself.

#14 kaijindaaku on 03.29.09 at 10:39 am

You cannot TUNE your 2.5 litre WRX to be faster than an STi idiot. A Stage one remap or tune would only get you about 15BHP. So your WRONG. STfu 230bhp + 15 =??? not enough to keep up with Subaru Technica International WRX. OR MAYBE THE BIG WING ON THE STi WEIGHS IT DOWN SOOO MUCH

#15 IHaSO on 04.01.09 at 3:10 am

I’m not the driver, just the guy who edited the movie. And btw, it isn’t my fault that you watched this movie more than a year after it’s been uploaded and you’ve already seen other movies about this car.

#16 johndeere8030 on 04.04.09 at 3:31 am

nice car but u **** as a driver and saying things evryone already nows. bollocks man.

#17 Sh3pardMelody on 04.05.09 at 12:34 pm

love the car **** the fagg thats driving it

#18 IHaSO on 04.06.09 at 8:18 am

ok. Then the old WRX tuned by Prodrive would be at 280bhp…so:)

#19 XxXalimarXxX on 04.08.09 at 12:46 pm

im at around 250 whp

#20 IHaSO on 04.11.09 at 2:17 am

Good to know, but it ain’t stock anymore, Prodrive tuned. Nothing special. Would your 00rs also smoke a 300bhp 2008 Sti?

#21 XxXalimarXxX on 04.11.09 at 7:21 pm

My 00 rs would smoke ur stock 06 wrx :P

#22 metalrick1337 on 04.12.09 at 5:00 am

Well actually you get plenty of understeer whatever you do :P so even when releasing the throttle :P

Luckily we now have a Sti :) still understeered but a billion times more mangeble and adjustable diff to force some oversteer :)

#23 Lawson84 on 04.12.09 at 12:42 pm

“Release the throttle if you want understeer”

Eh?

#24 IHaSO on 04.14.09 at 4:22 am

It’s an area behind a couple of shipyards, they left some mess out there!
As you may have heard in the movie, the car is his dads car, and his dad just got the new sti:) Same color…but a better place if we decide to make another one:) The guys from Top Gear wouldn’t even get that location:)

#25 911nightflyer on 04.17.09 at 7:04 am

Well done guys! What kind of location is this? looks like a scrapyard! Now it’s time for the 2008 sti model…. same color same place
