I have a 2002 Aspen White Subaru WRX. It's slow! I bought the car in March 2008 with 106k miles on the chassis. The motor was (essentially) replaced at a local dealership at the previous owners expense when the car had 90k miles on it... So I pretty much got it when it only had about 16k miles on the motor. I'm currently at ~170k miles on the clock. Still runs like a champ. Exterior: - ebay headlights - DIY painted grill pieces - debadged trunk (except "Impreza" logo) - "WRX" badge relocated to front grill - Impreza "I" badge - JDM STI hoodscoop... Still unpainted - clear corner lights - front tow hook - custom paint chips - Better-than-RallyArmor Mud flaps interior: - STI seats - STI door cards - Kartboy shift knob - ATI clock gauge pod Engine/Power: - STI TMIC - Cobb SRI - Samco Sport turbo inlet - Samco Sport Y-pipe - STI radiator - VF39 - STI Pink injectors - TGV Deletes - Grimmspeed Up Pipe - Tial 38mm External Wastegate (dumps to atmosphere) Engine Management: - Cobb AP OTS map with launch control (LC collects virtual dust) Exhaust - Helix bell-mouth 3" downpipe - custom 3" midpipe (catless) - SPT axle back Suspension: - TEIN Flex Coilovers - Whiteline ALK - Custom X-brace - TEIN front tower brace Brakes: - DBA slotted front rotors - Brembo blank rear rotors - Hawk HPS pads all around - Goodridge SS brake lines Drivetrain: - BA transmission - OEM clutch - Group-N transmission mount Electronics: - Kenwood DNX 6160 - Prosport boost and oil pressure gauge - AEM UGO Wideband As far as future plans, there's not a whole lot... - gunmetal wheels w/ orange lug nuts - pro-tune - ability to push all-the-boost - quit smoking - lose about 30 lbs and drop 2 pants sizes.... Oh wait, car stuff... - rally lights to combat terrible night blindness I'm sure I'm forgetting something else.... Shiny! Many winters ago, Unamused face lost a great and epic battle against the tyrannous ICE SCRAPER! ASS!
Nice car man, I like the writing on your mud flaps. But I think Kilo's year/model STI was the best one ever made. I could essentially buy one of these things but the maintenance cost here is just so expensive.
I'm a pretty big fan of the 04-05 sti. I'd love to have one but the 2011 sti hatches have been looking pretty nice.
being a Audi nut here, I actually like the saab looking STIs and the current hatch. Subaru makes awesome cars with great reliability ( from what I heard )
Subaru's are right up there with honda and toyota when it comes to reliability. But as with any car, its the owners who actually extend or shorten a cars life with being vigilant with the maintenance.
