MAJOR UPDATE:

Well, it looks like I have a story to tell.

NO I am not parting out, etc!! I have the STi to where its finally looking nice, and because of all the upgrades, its becoming a weekend car, not a car to use to go to work everyday. People here (D.O.D) open their doors and ding the crap out of anyone, I would seriously get pissed if they did that to the STi. Therefore, I drive my 1986 Camaro to work. Its a great car, but, the seats suck, it leaks from the T-Tops when it rains, there isn't any A/C, and its carbureted. The thing is this, the Camaro has been my first car that I have ever owned. Its worth crap now because it isn't a classic, and I love the car. I plans for a 383 stroker motor, with a T-56 tranny, and 3.73 rear gears. Eventually it will become that when I own my own home, etc. For now, it costs hardly anything on the insurance per month. It sucks in the snow and rain. SOooooooooooooooooooooo without further bs, I will be getting a 3rd car!

The new car will be a 2002 Subaru WRX (bugeye). Its black, with the WRX wing, no moonroof, but A/C, airbags, etc. It has a brand new clutch, timing belt, valvetrain, and the engine have been inspected, compression tested, and everything is good! My mother has been complaining that my Camaro isn't safe on the parkway and turnpike. I drive that ways to see my g/f. Plus, I can't drive the STi there, its not that the neighboorhood is bad, its that its near Newark and I am scared someone would seriously tamper with the STi, being that they only have street parking at her house. With the Bugeye, its a better bet and way safer than parking the STi out there. For the price I am buying this car is unbelieveable to give up. So its a win win for me. It took awhile to eventually get an answer from the rents about parking it in the driveway, finally they approved. So in a couple of months or so, I will be getting this!!! Now your prob thinking, crap now your going to mod this? Most def not even close as I did with the STi, I can trade people on Nasioc or other forums for a TBE, Cobb Accessport Ver 1, springs and def tint. Thats about it, I may even go wingless with a Mine's replica rear lip. I want it to be a car people walk by and hardly notice. Thats the main reason why I can't take the STi up North and just leave it on the streets. Also, I still will continue to get the needed supporting mods for the SZ55. This Bugeye is priority 01!! 3 black cars, ahhhhhhhh.

[Chris05STi]

Oh, and btw, the Bugeye had a Injen or AEM CAI, and Subaru CF interior.

I will try and get pics of her today or tomorrow.

[T3h_Clap]

I miss my MY03 MBP bugeye.

you gotta get the JDM STi grill, JDM STi scoop, find some Prodrive Lowering Springs, and be golden

not the best pic but you get the idea (I has'd the things i listed ).

[Chris05STi]

^Can't see the pic here at the office, but when I get home I will check it out.

I still have my stock STi suspension. I talked to my buddy and he said that it will fit the '02 WRX. Is that correct? I was thinking of putting some springs on the STi stock suspension and putting that on the '02 WRX. I don't want to blow money on this Bugeye, but if I have '05 parts from the STi that I could use, why not eh? Clap, what do you think?

[T3h_Clap]

the MY05 suspension wont fit. (struts anyway).

the prodrive springs work on stock struts. just make sure you get the right springs for the right rear top hats (my02-my03 had different rear top hats then MY04+ (MY04+ is the same as the STi's rear top hats)).

then again in stock trim the WRX will feel like a caddy.

and you're going to hate your STi seats.

[Chris05STi]

The '02 seats are really that much better?????? I already hate my STi Seats...Bride Stradia's are the ones I want! Caddy.....crap, my Camaro even has a full Bilstien shocks/struts with Hotchkis parts up the wazoo!

[amg destroyer]

Congrats on the new car. That seems like a good idea. You don't want anyone messing with your STi now that it is soo beautiful.

[Chris05STi]

^Thanks...yah def not, worked to hard for it. Bugeye will be nice to have on cold winters, and really hot summers. Ahh the joys of A/C all over again!

[T3h_Clap]

I've been searching silently for a Yellow WRX Sedan 5 speed for a couple years now.

no luck. It would def be a kick ass daily.

what you really need to do is get some 5x114.3 hubs so you can run your stock sti suspension and wheels

[Chris05STi]

So its just the hubs that need to be on there for the STi '05 shocks and struts to fit? IF I told you how much I got this car, you would fall off your chair!!!!! It was a deal that I just couldn't turn down! This will be a most def kick ass DD. The g/f already likes it! She didn't like the look and idea of a late 80's early '90's BMW 3-series. She loves the look on this. Def a keeper.

[VSGTS14]

02 ftw, i would like to have an 02 as a DD....but instead i'll settle for an 08 sti

it may require more work than that. sti 6-speed, r180 rear diff, axles.

[VSGTS14]

it's better to just keep it with 02-03 parts. it's a DD, don't blow all your money on it.

[Chris05STi]

Nah I am not, thats the reason for getting it. If I get parts it will be from my STi or trading another WRX owner for some. Gonna snap some pics of it soon.

[BillFromTR]

Ballin out with 3 sweet cars! Congrats Chris!
