Its a rally car y0!

Re: Picked up a new car
 

Was this car owned by an Asian guy in Cottage Grove?

Re: Picked up a new car
 

did I say I was going to beat it to hell??? I think not.

Re: Picked up a new car
 

Negative. A lady owned it for the first 100,000 miles and then this guy owned it since.

Re: Picked up a new car
 

You want to rally it.

Rally and beating a car to hell are pretty much one in the same.

Re: Picked up a new car
 

Don't know about that.

Re: Picked up a new car
 

P.s. thanks for all the kind comments, and I hope we can still all be friends even though I've converted to the "dark side" haha.

btw, I made a comment on the suby boards to see a 4g63 swap into one of these bad boys lol!

Re: Picked up a new car
 

you say dark side..but i say oh well. have fun with the "slower" car...;)

I didnt think the 2.5 was a freewheeling motor. So you have no valve damage.

It'll be nice to have a car that can turn for a change :) If I wanted a car faster I woulda had to buy another dsm. Speed was fun, but I need to really focus on school now. We'll see if I find a good deal on a busted sti in the future :)

Re: Picked up a new car
 

Sorry to hear about your problem, glad the guy is working with you like a gentleman.

What you have is one of my dream cars. It WILL be my next car I buy and if you ever sell it let me know. I DO love the 99-00 GC8 a bit more because they had the bigass fog lights and wasn't a fan of the 98 gold rims, unless on a black RS.

You need a catback at least, the sound those engines make is unbelievable.

Re: Picked up a new car
 

again where did I say that??? just cause its a Subaru doesn't mean I want to rally it...

Re: Picked up a new car
 

shits sick. congrats man

Re: Picked up a new car
 

Thanks thanks thanks! I'll try and get a few better pics after I go pick it up this weekend. The guy gave me a set of summer and winter tires as well as a set of brand spankin new rs25 floor mats. Right now there's blizzaks on all 4's and the thing just grabs in the snow like no other.

Green for the money, Gold for the honeys.

Atleast you stuck with awd. Looks nice, definetly get exhaust. There's a sweet ass maroon Suby like this one up in Fergo, always caught my eye.

Re: Picked up a new car
 

time to swap out that boxer engine, get a 6 bolt in there, mounted on that suby trans, budget turbo setup, jdm sti tails, jdm sti wing, and you have yourself a sweet car.

jk

i have a feeling you're gonna like it. I've always wanted one but people want so much money for those.

Re: Picked up a new car
 

Ive always liked these cars, hard to find! Nice!

Re: Picked up a new car
 

now just start buying parts for it from my favorite online and ebay store JHot. it is were all my parts came from and they have a ton of old sti parts cheap. body panels,seats,swaps,ect

Re: Picked up a new car
 

Exhaust will more than likely come soon, but if I do it I know I'm going to want to go headers on back, and headers for this car are like more than a full cat back! Modding this will be a little slower if I even mod it at all. I already miss my cheap dsm parts haha.

And if you look hard you can find a few good deals. I picked this up for $4200, granted I've gotta throw around $300 into it right away, but I'd still consider that a decent deal.

Re: Picked up a new car
 

damn, thats cheap.
