Default WR1 engine sound?

Hi guys

Doesn anyone know how the WR1 sounds? Does it have the boxer beat & sounds like an STi PPP, or has it lost the boxer sound like a Type C?

It will be the low grade uk engine thats in it so it will sound like the 'old' scoobs and not the jet engined JDM type sound (and not the jet engine'd type power either )

The Spec C is a great car, but call me old fashioned - I just like the boxer beat.

Get a tape with the sound of a flat 4 on after a while you will prefer the new sound over the old anyway

One man's rocket engine is another man's sewing machine!

Just kidding mate - but it's all relative isn't it Tony? They're all Scoobies, just varying degrees of excellence! To me, the boxer beat is a selling point for Scoobies - against for example, the expensive servicing & sewing machine engined Evo.

Did I say it was a song? Anyhow, just because it's got off-beats doesn't mean it's not a song! Just because Kylie can't write an off-beat doesn't mean it can't be done!
