Here's a pic of my '02 WRX, out at AutoX in August. I've had it since last winter, really enjoying the options out there for modding and making the car into exactly what I wanted. Around August I also put on an Invidia turbo back (bellmouth DP), catless uppipe, and a Stg2 OTS tune, and what a difference!

Cat Terrist posted:Apart from the plugs, the WRX is really such a straightforward car to maintain or repair. I haven't really see anything that makes me wonder WTF they were thinking. I really didn't have any problems changing the plugs on my '02, or my girlfriends '02. Took about 45mins for mine, then under 30 on hers. $300 for a plug change is ludacris

Computer Opponent posted:I've got an 02 wrx that I bought new, and I'm only a few miles shy of 150k. High miles, yeah, but I bought it to drive it, and I plan to drive it until it crumbles into dust. It's a common problem, and the TSB has a proper replacement part for the fuel rails. The connection from the soft fuel lines to the metal fuel rails leaks, and you get the raw gas smell. If you have always brought your car to the dealer for servicing, and spent a lot of money there, they might be more willing to help, but I haven't heard of many freebie repairs out of warranty.

palatka posted:I test drove a Forester the other day and it seemed a little too sluggish. I like the Forester XT but I can't afford it right now. Can I get a Forester 2.5X and put an aftermarket turbo on it later? I think the saying goes something like "Turboing a 2.5NA is a lot like buttsex with your GF. They'll take it, but they don't really want to."

The Slaughter posted:Just got this bad boy a few weeks ago. Avic F90BT... Pioneer Premier. It is bitchin'. My GF and I put one of those bad boys in her WRX a couple months ago. It's a great unit. The new firmware really helped the startup and freezing issues. Only complaint? The drat GPS nags you like every other kilometer and interrupts your music when you have a route set. Can't turn it off. If you turn down the voice volume, it STILL cuts out your music anyway.

I figured someone who reads this thread might like this, but I made a very simple wallpaper out of a picture of my gf's and my WRX from this past weeeknd. I was happy how it turned out. Click here for the full 1920x1200 image.
