What is an Impreza WRX?
I'm glad you asked. For decades, Subaru has been building compact AWD cars. This is the second generation of Impreza, in the first form this generation was available in the USA. The performance model, fitted with a turbocharger, was labeled the WRX, meaning World Rally eXperimental, and came standard with all wheel drive and the EJ20 turbocharged boxer motor. At its debut, this second generation won several awards from performance magazines within its class of sport sedans.
Physics
Aphidgod owns a WRX STi, and used extensive real world data to create these physics, along with some extrapolations for the slight model changes.
S1 comes with what you'd expect from the name - the first steps you take in modifying your car. Specifically, the following changes have been made:
- 17x7.5 Enkei RPF1 lightweight wheels, with 235/40r17 sticky tires
- 22mm fixed front ARB, 22mm adjustable rear ARB with endlinks
- STI Pink wagon coil springs
- Feal 441 adjustable fixed-perch struts
- front camber bolts
- TD05-16G turbo upgrade
- "Cobb" short-ram intake and unrestricted 3-inch exhaust
- Accessport custom tune
- decatted up pipe
- injectors
- fuel pump
- boost controller
Audio
Speaking of which, go download https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/2007-subaru-impreza-wrx-gd-tuned.33356/. It comes with a custom soundbank which suits this car better and is easy to swap over.
The mod itself
In a continuation of my strategy for releasing free mods more often, I've slightly trimmed back the features on this one. No guarantee of completeness, I focus on the stuff that has the most visual impact, and I use it as an opportunity to experiment with some of the new CSP features. So for example the lights are using the new ReflectiveFX refraction method and may have some visibility issues with vanilla AC. Full CSP features require version 0.1.161 or newer but it should perform fine anywhere.
The included skins represent the full range of factory paint options in 2002 and 2003. Specifically, Blaze Yellow was a 2002 only option, Sonic Yellow was a 2003 only option. Aspen White, Midnight Black, Platinum Silver, Sedona Red, and WR Blue were available in both years. Blue Ridge was available only on base model Imprezas, and the two-tone paints were available only on the Outback Sport package.
This is version 1.0, consider it the final release. Changes from here will be limited to bug fixes.
