Picked up a new car - Page 2

**scheides** · 01-10-2009

Cool car, if subaru would have only brought the wrx here during that generation and not the next generation, I might have looked more in that direction instead of DSM's. They have just gone downhill looks-wise imho since that car.

The color makes me want to vomit a little, but thats cool. Only in my mouth.

"Misinformed about maintenance records" hrm....seems a common thread for subarus. My friends bought a nice 1999 or 2000 outback and the clutch had been done 20k miles previous. Well, thats the only thing the guy could not find the record of, and guess what broke shortly after my friends bought it! The clutch. Still, it was the cleanest one in the cities for the price.

Looks nice, I actually like the green/gold combo.

not a bad pick up at all. A cousin of mine has a 4-door RS model and he put in the japan sti engine(version 4 sti engine...i believe..) and that beast is just an all-out beast in the inside and a great sleeper in the inside. great car, but i love the dsms more...much more easier to work on.

I like the looks of the 2dr RS's but Boxer motors suck.

They should've left them in BMW motorcycles where they belong.

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

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!

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

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

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.

shits sick. congrats man

HiImBrian · 01-12-2009

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.

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.

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

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.
