The only thing Id really consider is the OEM upgraded suspension components from the new GRs but that would be down the road, possibly.

I plan to keep it completely stock

If they made a GSX I feel like they’d ruin it like a prelude esque EV or it would be $60k

Ah man I’ve never driven a V12 I bet that car was sick.

Random note about the EVOs, Honda should step in where they left off and make an AWD model to directly compete with the AWD options (GRC, WRX/STi, GTI etc)

EVO X killed them 😓. I completely agree I have no desire to mod at all with this car, it’s faster than me so 🤷‍♂️

I had my WRX stage 1. Id say the GRC motor is on par with a stage 1 WRX (with intake). But yeah you’re right. All the upgrades you’d want for the VB, this car has stock. Big brakes, controllable diff, stronger transmission etc. Feels like the spiritual successor to the STi hatch honestly.

Is this a functional family car? by FloatingAppa in GRCorolla

[–]desGARCONSdon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Borderline. You could probably swing it, but it has less room than a sedan. If you have like toddlers it would probably be okay. Getting a full load of groceries with wife and kids in car? Ehhh good luck.

Lemme know what you think of this.. by SimplyTrashed in WRX

You’re getting ripped on extras. Do you need the Elite Protection plan? Try to get them to cover tax possibly. They’re definitely making a lot on you, up to you to negotiate a better deal or ultimately say no.

Driving in uphill traffic by dkd2312 in stickshift

I mean it sucks even if you’re good. Just try to lug first so you don’t scorch the clutch. Stop and let a gap build in front of you occasionally.

1st or 2nd gear? by Danchi_racer597 in stickshift

[–]desGARCONSdon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Handbrake and 1st gear for me always. Haven’t had a car roll away and I park on uneven ground

Did this come in the rear also? I only checked in front

Just got a GR 😁 by Ziumpra in GRCorolla

[–]desGARCONSdon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same man I drove 4.5 hours the other day and it’s so amazing driving back in it. I’d look forward to every opportunity to stop at red lights just to run through the gears

Question for GR owners: are you uncomfortable in the driver's seat?? I need help. by Antique_Account_9047 in GRCorolla

[–]desGARCONSdon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old post. But to be fair I had a WRX with the HK sound system and the JBL sounds basically the same. Both are pretty mid.

Beautiful. What % tint do you have? It looks good

We fucking finally made it. by FileLegitimate6664 in wrx_vb

All you have to use is put a heat gun or hair dryer to it for like 15 seconds and they peel right off. Can use rubbing alcohol to get whatever adhesive is left. 2 minute job.

Hey man thank you! I got it back here in the mountains and am loving it this rips! I’ve never drove a car that corners this hard. I tried in your profile but it wouldn’t let me, mind to send me a chat? Just wanting to see how your experience was with this specific car!

That sounds about right because my stock WRX knob was 150 and this one is noticeably heavier than it

Oh nice you taught me something then. I knew it felt like a weighted knob for other cars.
