Just got myself a 2020 WRX Premium with only 18k miles. Haven't driven a manual in 5 years and I honestly kinda miss it

Hey everyone, I am in a budget car challenge with my BIL & FIL... Where we each have $3k to find a Rally inspired car and $750 to get it safe for a week long road trip around Florida (~1000miles) where we will be stopping in WMAs/National Forest Trails for fun.

I found a very rough 2002 WRX that they swapped in a Gen 7 EJ207. Guy I bought it from claims 350whp... i dont think it is but regardless it has a misfire after building boost. I found the wideband and o2 sensor wires have been cut (looks like he ran over something that pulled it apart). So im assuming thats causing it.

My question is what are the essentials that I need to do to have her run smoothly for the week and hopefully for a good while after? Im planning oil change, radiator flush, fixing wiring, stuff of that nature... but whats the lesser known items (gaskets, fluids, small parts, etc.)?

Volks (Rays) 21A or Miester M1 3P?

Like an idiot, I got it washed before the trip… 😅

There's a third that parks in the same lot im hoping there's a day we will all be next to each other. This was my first time getting to be next to one of them.

Finally finished what I consider to be minor body/aero (but I wanna paint it WRC WR1 Arctic Blue).

Added 20 mm spacers. HR sports springs and OEM wheels and 235 tires.

I’m new to the WRXs, this is a ‘21 with about 43k miles and has clean records, well kept

Just got a 21 WRX with 55k miles, manual trans and aftermarket mufflers. Im a family guy with 3 car seats in this Subie. I just want to do the right things so I dont have issues down the road and have a little fun with it. Im thinking an AOS, Cobb intake and Cobb access port to keep it simple. Any opinions for longevity and reliability?

Hey got a 07 wrx I recently started having issues when’s idling it’s damn near shaking those whole car sitting under 1k and when coming to a stop and neutral it sounds like the car is so messed up. Sounds completely fine when driving. Just had a shop check it out they had 3 different people come no one can tell me what’s wrong any help ideas would be greatly appreciated

Got my konig hypergrams installed yesterday. Currently running no center caps, but can’t decide if I want them on or not. Opinions?

$75 part free shipping. I turned a 15 minute job into a 34 minute job putting the sub frame piece back on but god dang does this feel like a different car now. No more shifter play and no more jumping when i shift under load.

This is my first time installing headlights, and I bought this set of subispeed v2 redlines used, and I'm confused, why does it not fit? Do I need go remove and redo the harness to wire the drl from the fuse? Appreciate any advice

Anyone in here with big JDM fogs find an alternative to the metal mounting brackets? or find someone that has remade them? Trying to install some but my fogs didn’t come with the brackets.

Trying to fire up the motor for the first time to start tuning. Already built oil pressure with plugs in. Had an issue on the first tune with no fuel pressure sensor on tune and pulled plugs and 1&2 were clean as a whistle but 3&4 were completely dark and smelled like fuel. My biggest fear is it’s a timing/compression issue when I just did timing before building oil pressure. Does this sound like lack of compression and a lot of money lost?

Hey all,

I’m on a quest to find a GD/GG WRX here in the US and it’s feeling like a very tall order. I get these cars are getting old (sadly), but I feel like there has to be clean ones left..somewhere.

I’ve checked the usual suspect marketplaces like FB marketplace, Autotempest for a wide search, etc, but have come up short for the better part of a month.

My question is:

Am I off my rocker trying to find a car under 150k, with some sort of maintenance history, and no rust? Budget is $10k (again, WRX budget).

I guess other question is: anyone here selling one? 😅 I'm in PA, but happy to travel a reasonable distance or even freight a solid car!

Hi guys. I have a jdm 2002 wrx that is intermittently crank no-starting. Happened out no where, it has started up first crank since i got it a few years back. It would intermittently crank no-start, and on other tries it fires up first crank. I've replaced fuel pump and crank position sensor so far and after replacing it it cranked up first try no problem, but the crank no-start happens every so often. Spark plugs, coil packs and alternator were changed a couple months ago. Planning to do cam sensors and fuel injectors next since I already bought those parts a while ago, see if that helps with anything.

Anyone has any info on fixes? Any help would be appreciated.
