Have fun. Sadly, it looks like gas prices are on the rise again.

Na I just can't make up my mind... lol, I don't know if I wanna sell my car, get an STi and put money into it, or try and get something like a Z06.. I was thinking about getting maybe an 04-05 STi and repainting it like a dark charcoal color..

so this car has 130kmi kinda high but very cheap...anything i should watch out for?? turbo etc...

stylesrex · « **Reply #8 on:** January 28, 2009, 01:13:52 PM »

ick, another silver subaru. i know price was prolly more of a concern than color, but silver is soo corporate/economy/rental mobile color.

aside from regular scheduled maintenance not really much to watch out for. a big problem with these cars is previous owners. I'd take a real close look at the engine bay to see any signs of modifications.

fred told me a good story the other day about a kid who bought a used wrx that had been modded and returned to stock. the car ran like complete trash and a couple of these "forum tuners" (yeah they are on unysoc) looked at it and couldnt figure it out. fred found some bullshit bleeder on the factory boost solenoid..then wait for it...

he found a UNICHIP piggybacked onto the ecu. yes i said UNICHIP. go google that if you dont know what it is. for those of us from pre-newb era subaru recognize this as complete vodoo majic black box electronics.

yeah not a fan of silver whatsoever but i couldnt pass on the price, and i'll get used to it i suppose!

from the sounds of it, it was owned by an older guy but i'll look into it more for sure

Rust-oleum flat black is an excellent remedy for silver cars.

Just messin, and again, welcome to the turbo world.

Probably saw the commercial on Horsepower TV.

I looked at a silver WRX once. The whole thing was slathered with dynamat. It also had 10,000 miles and completely bald tires, so they probably had repo'ed the poor thing once they realized the owner was only 13.

good luck with the new whip my friend.

Do I have any other parts...none that I can think of offhand.
