    Hey everyone. Just discovered this site a few days ago, picked up my first ever Subaru about 4 days ago. I dont know if anyone else seen this car on Craigslist, but it's an 02 WRB WRX sedan, 5 speed 2.0 turbo with 80k miles on the car, and very few on the tranny as it was rebuilt by Subaru a year ago.

    Has some front end damage, minor frame rail damage to the front passenger side. New Falken tires on 18" ADR wheels. Paid 2900$ cash for everything. Put about 100 miles on the car, pulls hard and stops straight. Love this car, though I do need some things for it. New bumper support, cover, and hood. Also need headlights since my mounts are broken.

    Took the seats out and shampooed everything. Cleaned up really nice, no tears or rips and all nice and clean. Does need new airbags.

    Awesome, sounds good! Can't wait to get this car put back together, new radiator will be here on the 18th. Need to get the car up on a frame rack, friend used to do that for a living and said it should only take 2 hours shop time max. I'll have a brand new frame rail if anyone needs one, still had Subaru tags and everything. Passenger side front.

    I'll probably just use the smashed up hood and bumper, until I can afford new ones. So if you see a WRX that looks like it had some fun with a tree, that's me!

    You got a WRB WRX with an STi badge? That's gotta add at least 5whp per wheel. :p

    Welcome though, I'm pretty new to these cars myself. I'm currently up here in Duluth to for school. Would love to see your car once it's all put back together, I really like those wheels.

    Yea I'll definitely be around once its drivable again. New radiator should be here Wed. I'm thinking of redoing the wheels black, since they are pitted pretty bad.
