Duplicolor bronze RS wheels with Continental DWS tire(awesomeness)
1 1/4 hitch
Borla headers into a high flow cat into a modified STi axleback(included a track pipe thats on it now, Borla rep headers, and the stock exhaust)
Kenwood excelon deck with polk rear speakers and some other brand fronts....and thats all the mods that were on it when i got it....

I added so far...

He may....depends on him mainly....and his woman, she annoys me....

Soooo the original owner said he replaced the headgaskets, water pump, etc... at 90k at a dealership...well i think the driver side is leaking...last i knew the coolant reservoir overflow thing was "full", its now below low...its at 134,300 miles....i hope im wrong... :tickedoff:

Check that when right after the car has been running because the fluid retracts into the radiator itself when its cold.

Quote me now while I'm feeling good about it.  I've decided a WRX will be the vehicle that replaces the Jeep.  I can't see paying Evo prices or justifying purchasing a halfassed/beat to death example for the same asinine amount of money.  For an affordable, point to point, all-weather capable performance car, a wagon fits the bill.  A swapped wagon, even better.

Will do tmw, i forgot to mention the huge wet spot underneath the engine...kinda a mix of green and dirt...im no car mechanic but common sense dictates there might just be an issue... :cry:

On a upside...this maybe a goood time to do a swap if i can get everything together financially, mechanically, and so on....

make sure you don't have a leak in a coolant line. If you have head gasket issues, the gasket would always be damp. If its dripping from the head gasket, the car shouldn't be running.

Kinda like when everything was fine on your glory, then one day the shock just leaked everywhere, then a 500 dollar fox was the replacement  :uglystupid2:
