Car Info: 02 WRX black 4eat
1 more for the 4eat club.
2002 WRX 4eat. I love it, and have no problem saying so. After almost 5 years I am still happy with my choice (especially after spine surgery this year).
After driving horrible MT trucks at work for years I swore never to willingly drive a car with a clutch again.
Does the 4eat have disadvantages? Of course it does. Can you overcome most of them with technique and mods? Yes.
In the past I never had a problem keeping up with STI’s on twisty roads. And when I’m back on my feet again enjoyment will be had flying around back roads in 2 gear.

New 2002 WRX 4EAT owner here, glad I chose it as well.
Anybody have a part list for the torque converter and recommended tranny cooler, and how much this runs after parts and install?

Car Info: 05 WRX 4EAT (VF34'd and FMIC'd)----sold :(
^^^I say we burn him at the stake!
matsui56; ProTorque does good work. ( so I've heard) From their web site it's $495. Install fees can be any where from 300-$500.
As for tranny coolers, B&M, 50 bucks beat that.

I like B&M's stuff, good quality...as far as burning him at the stake, i couldn't participate cuz in my eyes, he's finally doing the right thing and getting a manual...which is what he should've done in the first place...

Sounds too simple, for $1000 doesn't seem like that much to invest to make the automatic much more driveable.
Looks like I already have my tax refund spent

I'm in the club
I got an 06 Imperza 4EAT and I love it. Plus where I live lot of traffic and traffic lights. Too much stop and go. Don't have worry about shifting gears all the time.

I see you said "Is that the USDM 98-01 2.5RS or the JDM GC8's?"
To my knowledge the USDM's and JDM auto's are different. They have tiptronic like some of the Audi's or BMW's do here in the states. So maybe their built for more abuse and "spirited" driving.
