Been a month.....
Ok, been one month with the WRX, and all I can say is loving it.
Nissan's used to be my thing in Japan, S13's, RPS13 and A31's but now, IF I get the chance to go back....it's gonna be hard to choose.
If costs prohibit me taking my USDM WRX to the motherland, then I can definately see myself getting a 2000 WRX Sti in Japan (what a terrible worst case scenario, I know, but this is the choice I may have to face)
The only problem I have/had with the WRX is that I bought a "Tuned" WRX with no knowledge of who/what/when/where/ or why.
But the car has been solid. And apparently the previous owner spared no expense to ensure the WRX was well preparred.
This is the newest car I have owned, and I have to say, it is an awesomely constructed ride. Wife has even forgotten the fact that I used to own an Astro Van....
The mods that I know the car has is quite impressive, still some details I won't know until things need to be replaced.
Mods:
-IHI VF30 series (not sure what exact 30 turbine)
-turbo back exhaust
-Borla Hush muffler
-STI pink injectors
-ECU rework (haven't had time to dig in the passenger side to see what's there)
-Upgraded clutch
-Soilover suspension
-Eibach Springs
-Rear Sway bar
-Rear Tower strut bar
-Subaru 4 pot brakes
-larger rotors
-Steel braided brake lines
-Rota Subzero Rims
-Morette Projector lights
-Short Shifter (possibly a Kartboy/most likely OEM)
-Pioneer deck and speakers
-Sub Wiring (currently disconnected due to no sub...)
Alot done to her as I said, which is cool, saves me time and money
So...if you are out there....Mr Previous owner....Thanks, this is an awesome car, and I seriously hope that you are rolling in something just as sweet now.
