02rex's Subaru WRX, now even more illegal! - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Well since it's such a crappy day out and theres really nothing else to do, I figured I'd finally make myself a journal. Ive always like the WRX, but never figured i'd own one until I was much older. So, the closest thing to it that i found was a 1997 impreza L. Now keep in mind this was at a time where i really needed a car and was out of options. It was an automatic, which sucked, but it was in great condition and i got it for real cheap.

And of course i did the usual mods, borla exhaust, CAI, and gold wrx rims. I also got 4% tint put on, which got me pulled over wayyy too much.

While that car was ok to drive, lol once i had begun to save up some money i started looking for used wrx's. Never thinking i would ever find one within my price range, somehow over on nasioc i did. Called up the owner, took it for a test drive, 2 weeks later i was the proud and happy owner of a 2002 wrb wrx. my dreams had come true.

Once i got used to the power of the car though, the modding bug quickly bit and before i knew it parts were on their way. nothing to big since i didnt have too much money left but just the basics to start. i first ordered an HKS hi-power, replaced the stock boost gauge, changed the spark plugs, and took off the wing.

I soon got used to all that and wanted more. so, soon followed a k&n drop in filter, perrin intake hose, helix catless downpipe, and perrin uppipe. also a cusco turbo heat sheild.

Now once this storm clears out, im going to be getting the uppipe installed, going stage 2, and getting a new clutch. Thanks for looking and ill be updating this very soon!

thanks man, just springs that the previous owner had put on. once i start saving some money i really want to work on the suspension.

02rex · 03-25-2007, 03:55 PM

ok, well finally after some time waiting, due to bad weather, me and huff(mostly huff) were able to install my perrin uppipe. i cant thank him enough. it sounds sooo mean now, and i can already feel a difference, even with a crappy clutch.

that L is begging for some swappage action....

WRX is looking good... where'd you source that pulley cover anyway?

02rex · 03-26-2007, 09:13 PM

haha i kno i kno, i miss the L like crazy and wanted to do a swap but just didnt have the money.

thanks, i got the pulley cover from vivid racing. they were out of stock so i had to wait forever, but it was worth it.
