The car is tune with the New snail. We haven't been able to get more than 312 whp because of sensors and injectors problems. But still the car runs great, pushs hard in any gears and isn't too laggy. Now I need to hit the 1/4 to see what it can do.

Ever since I bought my SHO in 2012, I missed my STi. The sound, rough ride, light weight, manual transmission, no electronic driving aids, etc...

Couple months ago I started looking for older WRX. 2 weeks ago I caved in and got myself an 2002 WRX wagon with a complete swap to JDM STi (EJ207 v7 motor, transmission, diff, brakes, seats, cluster, wheels). Body needs work, everything else is working. Tuning mid-July with a downpipe.



This car is quite different from the SHO, low end torque is non-existent but engine revs up to 8000rpm, it's a manual 6sp, steering is heavy, confort and options are limited: a/c, cruise control and tape cassette player. It completely satisfys my car needs.

Always liked the Sub WRX. The only thing I hate about them is they got beat on hard. Its hard to find ones that weren't abused.

It will be a fun daily driver for sure. I don't even know what a cassette deck is anymore. Lol.
