    Default 2002 Subaru WRX - Progress Pics

    I just gotten back from Iraq and bought this 2002. Here are some pics from what it did look like and now. When I got it, it was pretty much stock except for a cut grill, stainless braided brake lines, Prodrive wing, uppipe and downpipe. Since then I have installed:

    JIC Fully Adjustable Coilovers
    17" BBS Gold Wheels
    3" Turbo Back Exhaust
    STI Top Mount Intercooler
    STI VF39 Turbo
    Perrin Intercooler Kit
    Perrin Turbo Inlet
    Burschur Racing Intake
    STI Pink Injectors
    Walbro 255 Fuel Pump
    ATI Gauge Cluster
    Boost/Oil Pressure Gauges
    WINGLESS!
    And Had Scott at Topspeed tune the car with ECUTEK and 19lbs...

    It is def. a nice car. I enjoy driving it far better than my civic. Well.. dont comment on that last one. Traction is nice! Enough said. I am def. addicted to the madness now. The car is where i want it for power right now because I want to get it as close to cosmetic perfection before i drop money on a block and turbo upgrade.

    Future Plans:
    Larger Hood Scoop
    Sway Bars
    Hella Horns
    Shave the trunk lid and spray the front bumper and side skirts.

    Other than that I appreciate all who looked! Thanks again to those of you who have helped so far with this build and purchasing some of my old parts!

    Haters... STAY OUT!

    It is the turbo xs but it seemed to not leak. I had heard that they were prone to leaking. I will eventually run a 50/50. But other than that thanks for the comments!

    about the tranny... It had a new tranny put in it approx. 14 months ago and about 15k miles. It seems to be fine but after it blows.. I will prlly go with the RA gear set. I hear its a good upgrade w/o braking the bank!

    what he said.

    More importantly don't waste your money on a wrx...either buy a sti or a GC8 with an STi swap.

    welcome aboard man....very nice bug eye. Vf39 is plenty to have fun on the street...no need to upgrade. Be very nice to that tranny and you'll be good. How much hp was scott able to tweak out of the setup? STi 6spd or PPG dogbox is the best option for new tranny...they do have a hefty price tag, but very much worth it. Just be nice to the 5spd for now, save up, then sell the 5spd while it's intact...you can fetch 1k (vs. $200 for a broken one) for it then use that money toward a better tranny....best option.

    exactly what i first thought, i'm sure you know to treat you're tranny with care, and i'm also interested in what kind of numbers that setup puts out
