Mitsubishi and Subaru are entering round two of the newest battle for all-wheel-drive supremacy. Both automakers are preparing hard-core versions of their turbocharged, rally-bred road rockets and that means more power, more aerodynamic mods and, in the case of Subaru, less weight.
The Lancer Evolution X MR is on the way, with a new fascia equipped with extra venting and a new air intake, while a revised rear wing, side skirts and blacked-out wheels complete the exterior makeover. Output is increased by 20 hp (in JDM spec) to 305 hp and the mid-range has been tweaked to provide more low-end torque, dropping the 0-60 time to under five seconds. The paddle-shifted SST twin-clutch transmission transfers over from the GSR model (likely with some software revisions) and the body has been stiffened to maximize the MR’s handling.
Subaru is taking a different tack, keeping power upgrades to the STI’s turbo’d 2.5-liter boxer to a minimum and instead focusing on weight reduction. The Impreza WRX STI Spec C will get a slightly revised aero kit, with a roof scoop (functional?), standard gold wheels, a lightweight roof, aluminum trunk lid, compact battery, smaller fuel tank and thinner compartment glass all around. All that work is expected to result in a 154-pound drop in weight, so the Spec C will tip the scales at just over 3,000 pounds.
Subaru is also planning to equip the new Legacy with the STI’s drivetrain, a revised suspension and slapping on an “S402″ badge on the back, along with a sporting interior with more grippy seats. All of this is only for JDM consumption at the moment, but we’d expect to see both the MR and Spec C hit the UK next year, with sales in the U.S. of the MR coming around the same time.
Its been just over a year and a bit since MackayWRX.com had its previous facelift. Going on with evolution and progress of technology, new back-end system and fresh new look for this website was in order. The issue which flipped the ordering system due to some new configuration in my MySQL version has been fixed also. Colour wise classic WRX colours of blue and yellow have been selected which we hope it will bring stronger feel and character.
Please leave your comments on the new changes and any feedback which would be helpful with any further add-ons and changes.

The next meet is on the 25th of May, and this will be a surprise destination revealed on the day and leaving a little bit earlier so that it will be a cooler run for the cars.
