It has been said, Subaru is a poor man’s Porsche!
Why?
In the automotive field because, Porsche in addition, the use of only a flat Subaru opposed engine!

# [123 ] advantage boxer engine of what?
First,
of the engine a lower center of gravity
, allows the center of gravity of the vehicle has a better vehicle so that the vehicle in a curve to have better performance. Secondly, level of the engine is opposite to the relative movement of the piston can be canceled each other better motion , so that the vibration of the engine itself is small, while aspects of engine crankshaft counterweight can significantly reduce the , to facilitate the engine speed increase.
However, due to the complex structure of the horizontally opposed engine, cooling and lubrication systems are a great problem.
Also due to gravity tapped cylinder and piston so that more oil will flow to the bottom of the engine, while the piston due to gravity so that also the degree of wear of the cylinder wall at the bottom is more serious.
# Discovering why Subaru?
outer
except Subaru boxer engine, Subaru’s models are equipped with a
symmetrical full-time four-wheel drive system
(except of course BRZ). This is a very adhere to the idea of self-car prices , Subaru’s either car or SUV models are equipped with full-time four-wheel drive system is symmetrical. and the normal four-wheel drive Subaru except that the layout of the entire drive system is set to a symmetrical form, coupled with the power transmission and distribution vehicle uniformly horizontally opposed engine reaches symmetrical layout. so the vehicle will have a more excellent rolling center of gravity and center of gravity layout, making the vehicle has a greater driving stability and good handling.
In addition, have to talk about so many Subaru fans can not get it undoubtedly unique exhaust noise.
The specific configuration and layout of the engine, which engine exhaust banana unequal length which will cause the exhaust gas discharged from each cylinder reaches the exhaust pipe there is a time difference, thereby forming a pulse effect,
So Subaru exhaust has a very unique “Gululu” is likened to the sound of boiling water.
# What is STI?
STI stands SUBARU TECNICA INTERNATIONAL, its first Subaru a specially developed and modified for racing upgrade of the company. Early years specializing in retrofit upgrade Subaru WRC Rally of work, STI now primarily focused on venues and road race car development work, such as the Nürburgring 24 hour race, the Isle of Man TT as well as Japan’s domestic SUPER GT racing car development and production work. STI while also manufacturing higher-performance version of the model Subaru. So you can simply understood as the STI is Subaru Motorsport and high-performance version of the model of production research and development department.
# [123 ] STI and the general version of the model so what’s the difference?
Take this IMPREZA 9 Generation STI models, for example, on the first body appearance in order to obtain
lighter body weight through its door and the body weight are processed, this version of the model generation and no STI sunroof, the purpose is to lose weight.
At the same time the position of the original C-pillar of the roof carrying roof spoiler flaps, the purpose is to obtain better aerodynamics, the rear wheel fender has an outer wheel-expanding eyebrow.
Next STI chassis and normal versions have different models, their arm, croissants, etc. are not the same link
, so for some of the riders in terms of graft modificationIt should be very aware of this, they are not universal shock, and even the pitch of the wheels are not the same.
[ 123] the most important difference is that the engine and transmission.
EJ257 STI is equipped with high-performance version of the engine, the point to note here non-Japanese version of STI EJ257 engine models are assembled, the local version of the model is fitted to focus more on high speed EJ207 engine.
Meanwhile STI DCCD models equipped with adjustable dispensing wheel drive system with three differentials, not only driving the front and rear distribution ratio can be adjusted, but also to achieve a better distribution of the left and right wheels such that the vehicle power handling and grip increased dramatically.
so why Subaru is a poor man’s Porsche? Because it can be the public more receptive to the price of access to the most pure driving pleasure, the kind of pure and mechanical driving pleasure.
It also has a strong plasticity, which is why the great potential for conversion by the conversion Subaru fans will love. In fact, it has a lot of experience down certain ingredients to be deified, after all, just fast relative to that era, to this day he’s driving fast just to give you pleasure, and soon the feeling. If you really want it fast, it would have to crazy throwing money, so not really play Subaru poor, because the whole car changed down just can buy a Porsche!
