Its a black car and every time I get home its dark. Also the car is filthy (as a AWD car should be).
I just got plates for the thing, been driving around with NJ temp plates. I am so tempted to keep them off for a little more and just go ape shit cause you can't really write my plate number down!
Let me get some day light and I'll provide pics.

I have a 2002 WRX wagon.
My advice is get a catless turbo back exhaust and some sway bars.

The catless TB gives a noticable amount of power and the sway bars reduce the enormous understeer.

PS- I also recommend prodrive/H&R springs.

Nice pickup, I've been thinking an awful lot about getting a used WRX to replace my Civic DD which is dying a slow death at the moment. Plus I could really use the suspension travel and AWD where I live now...

For the love that is everything Subaru PLEASE put some DECENT tires on that car and swap out the crappy RE92 tires!

1-Tires
2-Sway Bar
3-Turboback and Cobb Accessport


This will set you back 2000$ but will transform your car.

If you want to mod your car beyond this point just sell it and get an STI IMHO.

get rid of the cat before the turbo. when it gets hot it comes apart and gets into the turbo and F's things up. I know I had to replace mine.
