    Yeah for sure. That heavily modded Impreza was in BC, Canada as well lol... just posted it since I thought it looked pretty sick.

    The GSX and the WRX both look like good choices. GSX seems to be pretty expensive considering it is older than the WRX.... but I don't know a ton about the value of GSXs. They are nice cars though... as long as they aren't decked out with a body kit and painted lime green haha

    Cool man. Saw your post on the thread haha. The car's been for sale since the end of August so I would hope that he would take your offer of $6k. If not $6.5k is still a great price for a pretty clean WRX (considering a lot of 02/03s are now modded to death haha)

    I looked it up on the internet, and I didn't find anything SPECIFIC with the 02-03 transmissions, maybe I'm missing it. I have some free time today, I'll look on NASIOC and see what I can find. I know in 04-05 the updated the interior/exterior of the WRX, but I thought the mechanicals were the same until the 06-07 model years when the switched to the EJ25 block (2.5L vs the 2.0L in the earlier WRXs).

    Stage two is nothing to worry about, a pretty safe mod. Anything more than that (ie bigger turbo) would be a little more worrisome.
