It was a 02 wrx w/ vf39, injectors, exhaust, turbo xs tmic, AP2 w/a tune, lowering springs, rota's, etc, etc. It was a very nice car and the price was right. I'm going to check a car out locally today for him that he might pick up, it's a 06 wrx very clean.

I may be interested in a set of stockers if/when I ever get my GXL running. My 17s rub on the suspension a little bit. I need to get the car running first though. I need someone here in DM to keep me on task so I actually get the F'ing car running finally.

He has a decent set of aftermarket 16's with good tires on them I know he'd sell for a good price. (i'm thinking around 200-300?) I also think he might have a set or two of the stock wheels, unless he sold them already.

Also if you guys want any of his left over parts give him a ring I bet you could get some good deals on them. He's buying a 06 wrx in a couple hours and I know he just wants the stuff gone.

Injectors, Fluidyne radiator w/e-fan, safc 2 and some other things I can't think of off the top of my head.

If anyone is interested just give him a ring and I know he'll give you a fair deal on the parts. 563 579 6110- Brian aka Dogbite

Oh here's a shot of his new car

Nice looking WRX. I am hoping to get a 04-05 WRX in the next year or two. I hate not having a turbo.

I am hoping that some of you guys with FC's have pulled your power steering/air conditioning. If so and you have the old bracket laying around, I am looking for the upper idler pulley on that assembly (I think it is the power steering idler). The bearing on that pulley is junk and I need a new one. If anyone has one, I'd be very interested in buying it off you.

stop working on her car and fix your own....

If you don't have your car running by the time I come back you'll never live it down.

HAHA,i know it! I actually ordered everything i need to reassemble the motor this week. im pretty close to reassembling the interior wiring too.


this weekend im going to drop in an empty mock up block so i can start work on the engine harness a bit. Im thinking about welding up a new DP and ditching my current one so i have a v-band for the waste gate too. My original DP needs major surgery to fit with the RB exhaust i bought so i may as well start over.

btw you get star craft working yet?

wheres the fun in that? the Car does me no good running if i don't ever wanna drive it!

i hated that fart can exhaust so much i had to get rid of it. Plus if i can run the car in my driveway, and drive it later than 8pm it will be easier to work on it and tune it.

It was nice to see a new face there. Lot of subie and evo drivers coming lately. Next time I'll try to stop by and say hi, but you'll find at autocrosses I'm usually struggling to get my wheels, registration, and walkthrough done before the first car is out on the course. If you're fairly new I'm always more than willing to give ride-alongs. Just let me know.
