Post by Dave Cotie on 03/09/12 at 21:31:17

This is gone:



and it has been replaced with this!  :)



2002 WRX - One mature owner - 99k kms, tasteful mods ( Wing deleted by dealer, etc. ).

Nice! 2002? Be gentle with the gearbox and you'll have lots of fun with that car!

Yup I should have said - it is a 2002.

Gearbox is in nice shape - absolutely no grinding - yes, I will have to keep it that way.

New DD to replace the Explorer.

Anyone have a cheap set of 205/55/16's they want to sell? This has Hakkas on it and if I get them off quick, they should last one more winter.

Dave, I just replaced a set of 205-55-16 Bridgestone Turanzas yesterday - kept the best two. I might be able to get the other two back - these tires are about 60-70% worn.

Dave, I still have these.  Make me an offer:

A little bit bigger diameter but it shouldn't rub and will give you better mileage.

why would they delete the rear wing?

Owner didn't want it. They swapped it for an RS trunk and swapped the badges over.

You could get a factory wing delete in the US.

I'd be interested if you could get the set Ross, I don't need a HP set of tires - just going to be a DD.

I am not looking for snows - I am looking for summer tires.

Don't worry if you can't - I missed the note that they may be 60-70% worn. I will hang out on kijiji for a while looking for a set.

It's now been in the garage like 24 hours?  Why no pics of the rally lights mounted?

Fixing the e-brake and working on a gas smell (although there is a recall on this).

Lights and ham wiring next!  ;D

Yeah Dave, they have a fuel line under the hood that doesn't deal well with cold, it was recalled, surprising that it hasn't been done yet though!

Title: Re: Out with the Old and In with the New (to me)
Post by Dave Cotie on 03/10/12 at 22:55:30

I found the fuel problem.  :(   It is not the recall, one of the lines right where they go under the back seat and under the car was corroded and pissing fuel out pretty bad.


Title: Re: Out with the Old and In with the New (to me)
Post by Dave Cotie on 03/11/12 at 15:55:34

Fuel leak and e-brake fixed. Off for a safety tomorrow!

Anyone have a set of stock front springs for a 2002 WRX that they could ship to me? I have a broken RF coil.
