I don't see how a functional hood scoop for the turbo intercooler is "rice". I do admit, even as a previous Subaru owner, that the spoiler is a bit overdone. I wanted an STi bad when I owned my 2000 Legacy GT Limited, and if I ever did get one the first thing I would do is take that god awful wing off the back.

Anyways, this STi you raced OP, probably had nitrous. With the STi's coming from the factory with right under 300hp, with a Stage 2 upgrade and nitrous he'd be a speedy little guy.

lol i covered the functional hoodscoop deal a while back but anyway no he wasnt spraying.. or well maybe he was becasue he gained a load of lengths is a very short amount of time. but as far as i could tell he wasnt running a stock underhood deal ya know what i mean?.. i could see a front mount in my mirrors befor he pulled up and revved also the turbo shudder i was hearing doesnt come on stock sti's so even if he was running stock turbo his exhaust his bov wastegate and breathing system was all modded to high hell. this front mount was as big as my friggin radiotor *slight exaggeration there*
