..new car! - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #54284 13 posts Started by Rayme
I've been really pissed lately at my celica breaking down, mostly due to rust and just be old and rattly. And every week I'd look up the classified and..well, I found a deal I just had to take..so here goes the ultimate winter pwn'r!

A 2002 WRX!!! I'm already loving everything about the car..it definitly feels "different" than most 4 bangers (the noise and the power)..those who drove scoobies will know what I mean!

And yes, I went to play in the snow..this is the next best thing after skidoos! laugh.gif

227 hp of pleasure!

Yeah right! That car was made for snow.
It may be made for snow, but can easily slide into a pole doing some donuts in a parking lot.

Welcome to the Boxers side biggrin.gif

Only thing - dont be exited about 227hp - on a Dyno it would be nice if you will find atleast 200 there smile.gif Its a WRX anyway smile.gif

One thing you should be carefull - gearbox, go easy on it - cuz otherwise - it will be a costy repair wink.gif

And next thing you should try - find someone with a JDM 2l STi engine swaped Rex - and you will be in love one more time biggrin.gif (or in worst case - try USDM 2.5 STi - but 2l one feels better anyway smile.gif )

NIce. 160 AWHP of pleasure, but fun, hehehe. I've always liked them. They feel pretty light and tossable.

The car set me back 14 999 $ CND which is pretty good imo up here...they were 35 000$ new, (WRX not STI).

I've read alot about the glass transmission problem and it was the only thing that kept me from buying one, actually this one has 130 000 KM and all the synchros are fine, which lead me to beleive, and I hope, means the car has not been beaten on, I got all the records of service and carfax..seemed liked a good buy.

I know it ain't a STI, but...227 hp sure feels good smile.gif..specially when I've been driving 5s-fe for 5 years now frown.gif

Only bad thing I found so far is I think the struts are shot and theres a loud belt squeeling when its cold and I start the car...it was -20 this morning and it was annoying, argh!
