The PERRIN Performance (http://www.perrinperformance.com) show car started life as a 2008 WRX hatchback with the premium pack, and a whopping 14miles on the trip meter.
The formula to build the show car is simple, turbo, FMIC, turbo back exhaust, fuel system that would support 500WHP, bigger swaybars, coilovers, and nice sticky wide tires, and good engine management.Project Over View (http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1370820) <--Click Here

Well we always have to push the envelope a bit at PERRIN! This car was just shot for several national and international publications. You can see more of the decal scheme there in bold color or stay tuned here for more info and photos! Hope you like what is coming!

I'm waiting on the rear sway bar and order both the front and rear together :)
The link for the 08 items would also help a bunch!

slvrwrx04 11-11-2007, 06:06 PM What is the stock turbo on the 2008 wrx?
PetRex 11-12-2007, 02:24 AM td04 with a legacy gt housing.
PERRIN 11-12-2007, 02:05 PM I think that is correct!
PERRIN 11-14-2007, 01:28 PM Bingo!
Yup its a dinky turbo for a such a big engine. But it spools really fast, and makes great torque!
slvrwrx04 11-19-2007, 10:39 PM How much bigger is the VF40 compared to the stocker in the 08 wrx?
PERRINJeff 11-20-2007, 01:25 PM I would say about 30HP?? BUt who knows. I had measured all the wheels, but i lost that info! Damn! But it would be a good upgrade if you found a used one for a couple hundred bucks.
98EJ20 11-20-2007, 01:46 PM Nice hatchy :)
fastrack562 11-28-2007, 06:15 PM real nice set-up!
PERRINJeff 11-29-2007, 01:30 PM Thanks!
The hatch is really growing on me! Its huge inside, and feels more nimble. Can't wait for the STI and some big power! Not that 400 isn't enough :)
jsquar3d 11-30-2007, 03:28 AM I love the car!! Great pics too, for a total newb to WRX like me..
Are there any videos/soundclips of the car? I'm curious what the muffler mentioned on the site sounds like..
Thanks!
PERRIN 11-30-2007, 11:25 AM Jeff and I can film something today I think. Working on it!
Thanks guys!

Thanks again folks!

jsquar3d 01-28-2008, 08:29 PM Any updates on new parts? I'm particularly interested in the exhaust/muffler and how it sounds/performs

Thanks for asking! So far we haven't smoked the OEM units, but I know our purchasing dept. is looking to get something for us very soon as we know folks will be needing them! Let us know if we can help!

PERRINJeff 11-29-2008, 11:49 PM Ok, its time for an update, but its a sad one of sorts..........
Its time to sell the WRX!! We have had the car for long enough, and its time for something different.
HERE is a page we created to give you an brief rundown of the car.
http://www.perrinperformance.com/pages/show/117 (http://www.perrinperformance.com/pages/show/117)
I am asking $31,000 with all parts included in the page above. We calculated it to cost about $41,000 to do the same car all over again, so $31 is a fair price. Of course negotiable.
One last parting pic for you all
http://www.perrinperformance.com/shared/images/dynos/2008_wrx_build/wrxhoodopen.jpg
So what car is replacing the WRX in our garage? Is it an 09 WRX?? Is it an EVO?? Is is it something completly different?? You will just have to wait and SEE!
PERRIN 11-30-2008, 09:56 PM WOW JEFF: Sad day indeed! Good luck with the sale!
wasst19 03-17-2009, 12:14 AM Wish I could afford that!
PERRIN 03-17-2009, 12:42 PM Wish I could afford that!
PRICE UPDATED!
$27950
For more details and information please just let me know!

saintsfan1483 11-18-2009, 10:01 PM Might be a silly question, but in the picture of the car for sale there is a red Elise....does Perrin have any plans to start making parts for Loti????
SahmLOL 11-20-2009, 04:48 AM Hey Adam, is the car still for sale?
PERRIN 11-20-2009, 10:11 AM Might be a silly question, but in the picture of the car for sale there is a red Elise....does Perrin have any plans to start making parts for Loti????
Thanks for asking. We looked into the Loti market a few times. But have decided against it. GREAT cars! I had an 07 Exige and Jeff had an 05 Elise that he added a turbo kit to.
Hey Adam, is the car still for sale?
The Lotus no.
The Subaru is still available. Jeff has two sharks circling around it right now, but I don't believe any funds have been sent. E-mail him directly at Jeff.Perrin@PERRINPerformance.com
Thanks guys and gals!
