The
current guides and manuals you can buy on Subaru's just don't cut it.
They are model specific and are normally only based around factory
specifications, not finely tuned performance vehicles.
Other books don't give you any real knowledge, they actually
increase your confusion, not clear it up.
Here's how the Subaru Performance Handbook will provide some
long awaited answers:
The Origins of Subaru - Understand the evolution of
Subaru from humble beginnings in 1917 through to the Subaru we know and
love today as well as a complete WRX model history tracing major changes
and Limited Edition Specials.
Effective Maintenance - Correct maintenance is
essential for ensuring that your pride and joy continues to give long
lasting and reliable service. Learn the essential checks you can
perform weekly to reduce your service costs.
Understanding Suspension - Improve your suspension
performance and improve the handling of your car. See the results as
two identical model WRXs go head to head. One has 40 extra kilowatts at
the treads and the other with five grand's worth of suspension mods.
Who comes out on top?
Stopping the WRX - Power outputs are climbing and cars
are getting faster and faster but are you overlooking key elements of
your braking system in the quest for improved performance?
Intake and exhaust - Look at improvements to the stock
intake and exhaust and how an aftermarket exhaust and intake can help
put back some of the aural character sadly lacking from the standard
WRX. Learn the four critical things you can do to improve the intake
system on your Subaru.
Engine management - Easily the most important piece of
the performance puzzle when it comes to increasing the power of a WRX
engine. Understand the ECU and fully investigate the electronic 'brain
box' of the WRX. See the results of a Dyno test on a Version VIII 2.0
STi and understand the impact of Ethanol blended fuels on your Subaru.
Turbochargers
Investigate the WRX's turbocharger and discover one of the features that
makes the Subaru WRX the standout car it is and find out why the Version
III turbucharger introduced in 1997 has remained, essentially unchanged,
for 10 years
The Intercooler
Find out the driving force behind the placement of the intercooler.
Discover the potential pitfalls of fitting a Front Mount Intercooler and
how it could send your repair costs skyrocketing, even from just the
smallest accident.
as well as tips for preparing your Subaru for a trip
to the track....
and much, much, more.....
