WRX_JB's 05 wrx Spun a bearing, Full build inc...
 
So finally after all the looking and the forum chat here it is 05 WRX. Thanks for all the help of people pointing me in the right direction , telling me what to look out for ect...

4-22-09 So i've came along way from having an AWD civic with a fart can , getting a little more into the car enthusiast world with the cavalier (still being in high school and w/o money , but that ended up being lowered with full exhaust)... Now with the money into the WRX doing it all myself just falling more in love with the car , im so glad i got it. Now i'm at the point where whats next? What do i do with what i have?

Kudos on buying from CarVision. I personally know the owner Dean and hes a good dude and all the cars ive seen him buy at the auction have been spotless or only needed minor work, I am sure you got a nice clean car.

GL with it

Is this the one??

I only know the big dog, not his employees lol. Enjoy the car man, did you pay it off right away or get financing done? If I knew you were buyin from him I would have told my boss to finesse Dean into giving you a bigger discount. Still a good price, theyt are selling at the auctions right now for about that much.

WRX_JB 06-21-2008 12:53 AM

4k down , financed the rest. This why i have some money to get some **** done to it. Will start in about a month

Thats really good nowadays. GL with it, Ill check it out at a meet.

WRX_JB 06-21-2008 01:01 AM

Sounds good , btw you know your shi*t pretty well. Got a link to someone who does powder coating around here , i wanna look at some colors to see what would go best with the silver

TalonTsi97 06-21-2008 01:29 AM

Congrats on the purchase. Glad to see you finally got a wrx. Check out boneheadperformance or LPC on here for powder coating services. Both places do great work and are local.

lol at their old lot he used to ride around on a segway.....dont know if he still does that at their new location...since its a little more compact....

i bought my spec from there, granted i dont think they knew it had the pre-cat problems the spec had and whatnot because they used to sell alot of spec-v's but have recently not had any on their lot....but they have respected the 5yr 100k warranty and replaced the motor and tranny when they went without much hassle

the only hassle i had with them when they took my car in when my motor was shot..it took them 2 weeks to tell me what was wrong with it...then one day they were just like "oh yeah we replaced the motor"....which i mean i couldnt stay that mad at lol....

congrats on the pickup....nice upgrade.

ozthunder 06-21-2008 10:21 AM

Nice pickup and congrats!
