My friend wants to buy a used wrx- so help!

[igo4bmx]

what should he look for? any particular issues, or years he should look at? Most likely he wants a bugeye wrx, and doesn't really know where to look.

He really wants Philly Boys car, but if that doesn't pan out, he needs options and help

[ScoobyNubieToo!]

Here is the perfect car and it's not too far from you........

Pass on the BOV. I'll sell you mine... 50 bucks.

does it come with an adapter?
what does it sound like?
do wrx's freak out when you vent to the atmosphere?

[JoeScooby]

I have not had a problem with mine what so ever, no hesitation, no rough idle, nada. I can get sound clips for you if you want, and yes it will bolt right up to the TMIC, nothing needed. It also comes with a cap to plug the return line. It is all billit (SP?). I just cleaned and regreased its guts so it is good to go for a while. The sound is like a woosh, nothing too annoying, nothing like the HKS.

First mod a vent to atmosphere BOV?

What's the point? The stock recirc valve does it's job well above stock boost.

[JoeScooby]

some people like the noise, what can I say??

[CHAOS]

how bout look for a nice exhaust or something... why waste time with mods that dont really do anything beneficial.

if it was anything like the BOV on my '03 it sounds like a lot of loud backfiring, cause that's what it does (or did til my brother circulated it). When he put the recirc pipe on no more backfire and a noticible increase in acceleration.

I'm not a WRX expert, at best I'm a tuning novice, but I have done enough reading about WRXs and BOVs in the last month since purchasing my car to know to leave the stock BPV in there and spend your money on something more usefull.

Also, I'll bet he paid 15k for an '05 after trade in/ down payment correct?

haha me too.

And about your boy getting that car, he got it for a steal! I can't believe he found one with that milage for that price. Real sick!!

no he traded in a scion tc for 14k

the final price before taxes was 15k for the wrx

[K-Rex]

that's what I am asking. he traded in his scion for 14k which probably had some trade in equity beyond what he owed on the car. So the car wasn't 15k it was more but he purchased it for 15k after the trade in value right?

BTW I hope that finger pointing about flaming was not pointed at me?

why would you sell your car? If you do lets trade fmic's and let me get that reversed intake mani setup. I will give you cash plus my trade!
