Okay seriously… This is the worst day for Subaru. Turning that beautiful piece of machinery into a ricer. It’s like in the first one when they took the nice looking civic economy car and mad poor people think they could have a “cool” car. Leave the STi alone and all Subaru’s in general if you are going to turn it into a “Fast and Furious” car. The body kit looks retarded by the way to. You are taking it away from its Rally Roots and giving it a bad name just like you did to the Civic. If I seriously ever see a riced out Subaru after this movie comes out I’m going to leave the biggest key mark ever made on the car… Thank you

Oh and I am a Subaru fan at heart. I love rally. I love my WRX. I use it for what it is, which is off road rallying. It is just sad to see a car being disgraced like this…

Oh, shut up. You probably don’t even race offroad…All of the cars on the movies are overly modified…It’s no different to throw the Subaru on there. The whole point of owning anything nice is the amount of people who covet it…well that number will grow, which will make it seem like your car is even nicer….BTW, most ppl don’t rally. Some would argue all of the decals and modifications to a rally car not truly built for rally, is ricey.
Also, you can do a lot to a movie and they can be made to be fast, and some look good when doing so. Just like there are some subarus out there with ridiculous bodykits, loud exhausts, chrome wheels, stickers, and loud blow-off valves…Didn’t take a F&Furious movie to get them doing that, now did it?

FIX: You can do a lot to a CIVIC…not movie-its 3am.

It will be interesting to see what they do with the new STI. Hopefully, they leave the blow off valves off! You should see what the members of the STI Forum are saying about this:

Some members are up in arms while others think it will be good for Subaru.

FYI, the 2008 STI is a widebody from the factory. This was one of the major changes Subaru made to the new STI. In past years, the STI featured slightly wider fenders (front and rear) as compared to the WRX, but nothing compared to how much wider those fenders are on the 2008 STI model versus the 2008 WRX model.

Great idea, make someone spend their hard earned (if poorly spent) cash fixing their car because you don’t think it looks cool. People like you make me want to buy a gun.

1. That is not a wide body kit…Those are just fender flares…

2. In the past years, the fender flares for the STi were the exact same as the WRXs…

Man, where do you people get your information?

Okay first of all I do off road my subie whenever and wherever possible. Secondly most “normal” subaru owners do off road or either would like to. Also every single piece of the wrc car’s has a function = not rice. Rice = race inspired cosmetic enhancements not fully functional pieces of machinery. Like the wing for example may look dumb but without it that rally car wouldn’t make it 2 minutes down a rally stage. Trust me there is a whole community of off roading subies (DirtyImpreza.com). I am not part of the Nastycock party (Nasioc). I think most of those subaru owners on Nasioc are a bunch of d-bags that need to go buy an evo and have no friends. Not that I don’t like there subarus its just the wrong crowd for a subaru to be in. Oh and the stupid ass comment about “People like you want to make me buy a gun” That is just stupid. Oh wow that guy just keyed my car he deserves to die. I didn’t take it that far okay. I am seriously just stating my opinion like it or not there are tons of us out that thing this is a terrible thing to be doing to a subaru. No matter how many options that are out there for a Civic they are still stupid. Lets take an “economy” car and try to make it fast. If you guys want proff I off road my subie just let me know I can send you some videos.

blah blah blah…damn every car that’s been featured in the last 3 fast & furious movies have been disgraced and doomed. Oh no-es, they showing drifting to the masses…the world is over! Oh no! They got a pink S2000, now it’s a chicks car…oh no! They got a Rx7 in the movie with a robot on the side and a supra with an aluminum outlaw wing…The WORLD IS OVER.

Seriously people, get a life, not everyone really cares about how the cars are portrayed in the movie.

brd360sk8 said in February 8th, 2008 at 10:55 pm    

Thats because all the cars they are portraying the movie are mostly doing what they were made to do. Drive on the road and street race. Now the subaru on the other hand… nuh uh oh and civic come on… they are supposed to get like 40mpg not a gt40 turbo.

I gotta leave a message for brd360sk8. Not everyone shares your opinions, DUDE!!! LOL!!! Not everyone rally-races their subaru’s. Once you pay for your car, you are entitled to do whatever it is you want to do. Slammin a truck to the ground on airbags looks good to me, but some people say that you can’t do a truck like that. The reason they sell parts to customize vehicles is because everyone has their own taste. If anything, Subaru is pushing for this to get some of the tuners to recognize the potential they have. If you look in the past F&F movies, the star vehicles have went up in demand and thus price. I am in to old school muscle cars myself. I see old 70′ era Monte Carlo’s with truck lifts and 26″ or 28″ wheels. I don’t care for it on certain cars. Everyone is different. Get over yourself and your subie. And as far as that other comment you made about civics. You shouldn’t even be watching these movies. The first movie had several civics in it. That’s one of the main cars that started this whole tuner revolution. If someone wanted to, they could make a rally car with it. It’s all in the persons mind and what’s in his wallet.

Exactly…without even going to dirtyimpreza.com..i guarantee you, there is a huge difference in the number of members on there and nasioc…I’d say 1/8 of subie owners off-road…but brd360sk8, i agree with a lot of what u are saying, but i can’t hate-i think it’s cool the subaru will be in there-just like it’s cool when i play a video game and it has a subaru in it…and yea, i wanna see what they do with it-u never know when u can get an idea-that may fit your theme without being too riced out..i do wanna see some videos, not for you to prove it, just want to see…i wanna off-road mine, but then again-i don’t wanna tear up my car with rocks and tree branches. i get pissed when road debris hits my corner splitters. I don’t think skid plates will be enough–although i thought about doing some. Then I gotta put my car up too after-more money there…

What we didn’t mention in the post–and didn’t know at the time–is that the roof scoop is a mandate from Universal. Since the movie is supposed to have a rally-inspired Baja theme, the producers thought that would make the car “legit”…
