Also, love the wheels on this one

Dream STI right here.

The EJ207 and 6 speed were so much better than EJ205 and 5 speed, but that felt like a lot of money for an '02 WRX and I'd be leery about buying an swapped car without good information. Then I looked at some of the details and liked it even less.

"Lowered" with no description of how.
Rotas and one is missing a center cap.
Broken exhaust hanger.
Copied and pasted description from a stock car (16" wheels).
Didn't all EJ207s have red intake manifolds?
Rust in some spots under the hood. Probably just superficial, but still.

Those headlights were so much better than the ones we got in the US. I grew to love the looks of my bugeye, but that was probably skewed by wanting a WRX before they came to the US and how much I liked the car overall. Going from a beat down 92 Taurus to a brand new 02 WRX probably didn't hurt matters either.

Agreed, gonna have to say crack pipe for the price. I've gone through the same exercise last year and ended up looking at Saabarus (9-2X's) instead since WRXs are either way too gnarly or way over priced

I hated the bug eyes so much back then that I opted to wait and got the (now not as desirable) blob eyes. I still loved that car though.

Price is good considering it has an sti swap. ALthough it's got the 2.0 jdm sti motor, not the 2.5 usdm one, if that matters to you...

Clipdat · 11-02-2017, 07:15 PM

Doesn't matter much to me because I can't afford it anyway, it's just fun to look at what's out there.

And here I am looking at 86s on Craigslist lol. A little bit more patience and I might be able to get back into a high mileage MY13 Scion for Miata money

What an eventful November 1st for me.. I was excited to get out work yesterday to pick up the car from the dealer for the oil seepage fix, got the car and was enjoying the drive from Santa Rosa after not having it for days.

Then this happened.. 😔

Thank God nobody got hurt or injured.

But it hurts.. 😭 Car is dropped off in the shop AGAIN to get buffed off this time..

Still bummed out about it. The other driver was not paying attention but i'm just grateful that my wife was not with me at the time. Hopefully I get her back soon!

Wow... this sucks. I hate it when your car gets body damaged, it always feels like it's never the same when it comes back.

Mine is looking at stupid things I can afford and that's how you end up with something you only use once and regret buying it afterwards.

Stupid @$$ distracted drivers. I'd hit their insurance for diminished value.
