Featured Rides : BeastGC8
Sunday, June 14, 2009
When you heard about Subaru, People always concerned about the power, the sounds of the exhausts and the body shape of the car. The car that we featured known as BeastGC8 is among the best Subaru in Brunei. It maintains the classic shape of the Subaru Impreza that available from 1992 – 2000 models; many say this has been the best version of Subaru Impreza so far. Talking about Lighter and rawer, GC8 model always making it arguably the drivers choice.
This BeastGC8, has EJ20 WRX under the hood, producing 330hp at wheels. Greddy Turbo T518 was fitted and along with it, PE 800cc Injector, 255 lph Fuel Pump, Sard fuel Regulator were fitted to support and improve the flow line of the fuelling system. Further cooling system of the fuel line, Oil cooler was also in placed. 1.5mm Metal Head Gasket was also installed and this can secure the performance of the engine especially when u revving it high and going for high boosting. When talking about the exhaust system, from downpipe, manifold to the end exhaust tips it was fully customize with aftermarket 3” stainless piping. The nature of the Subaru sound was totally changed after replacing the manifold to aftermarket customization. Apexi Intake is used for better breathing of the car. Cooling system is further more enhanced with TRUST Front mount intercooler mounted and overall it improves the appearances of the car.
Driveline of the car was not left behind, Tein coilovers, Front Greddy Strut bar improves the handling of the car, RAYS Rims (18” by 7.5”) further lighten the car and we got no worries when we talking about the stability of this wrx. JUN Flywheel was also installed replacing with the stock one. Brake System still remains stock and we believe with the current HP, this WRX will still grip to hold its power. This BeastGC8 was fitted with full customize chargespeed bodykit from front bumper, side skirts and rear bumper. Carbon Fibre hood, STi Spoiler with Metallic Crystal blue colours can give the sleeper appearances of this beastGC8.

the 330whp is without any engine management? i bet it can hit alot higher with aftermarket ecu- say 400ish at wheels? nonetheless, love the ride! sweet!

Owner didn't mention much on the ECU thingy but did mention about reflashing the stock ECU. For now, I bet the ride is good enough for street use, though its still risky on the capability of the stock internal. hehe
We enjoyed the power of the ride especially the sound while revving and boosting.
As conclusion, cool ride. :)
