Picked up a barely used Blue 2002 WRX Wagon a few weeks ago. Pics to follow. Looking for local tuners as I am about to add up pipe and downpipe. Car came with a CBExhaust, suspension and rims. I have restored the headlights and tinted the fog lights so far. Not new to imports but new to Subarus.
Welcome bud, You will find a huge amount of information here, and every1 here is great!
Just make sure when you do something performance wise, to tune your car to it!
Sounds like you're on the right track. Can't really recommend any local tuners for you, but some type of Stage 2 tune is an excellent idea immediately following your aftermarket dp install.
What's up with the hood scoop? It looks like some black/white crackle paint or perhaps a lightning bolt or spider web vinyl graphic? Got any closer pics? It looks interesting.
It was cracked like that when I got it. I plan on sanding and painting soon. Just haven't gotten to it yet. Not sure if the previous owner painted it at some point.
I just picked up a downpipe and up pipe from someone parting out their WRX. They recommended Tampbaytuned. Going to check them out. Should have the parts on and dyno tuned in the next month or so.
Anyone in the Tampa bay area have a Tactrix cable? I want to flash the latest revision of the ECM to try and get rid of what I think are phantom misfire codes. Timing has been checked, valve clearances should be correct as they were just checked and replaced.
Little update about the car. I had a cam gear break about a month ago. Threw the belt, bent valves. Not fun and my great deal of a car turned into a just an ok deal after the cost of repairs.
Motor was happy but transmission wasn't. It decided to grenade on Dec. 19th. Should have the car back today. I said to hell with it and went on vacation. Just got the transmission two weekends ago and they started on the car last Friday. This car hates me.
