good one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And Stoner420--I had the fiance stand outside during a road trip and listen for the turbo...He said yeah, you can tell when the turbo kicks in, but it's more like a high-pitched roar (whine?). Anyway I don't care and still love the car...

I like the turbo whistle, that's how I'd describe it.

My one wish would be to make a sunroof available on the WRX sedan.
The styling on the WRX has grown on me. I think it looks great in Black with a spoiler. The Blue is nice too, I just see too many of them. I like the silver as well.
I recently saw pictures of the Euro STI in Motor Trend. I think the headlights look a little better, but I hope they stick with the current styling for a few more years.

If you don't like the look, rush out and get an '03! :-)

nyccarguy--I had a '93 Prelude, and I loved that car...but I love the WRX more! Enjoy!

Not sure about body info. You can start by searching the "Dress-Up & Style" forum of i-club.com.

-juice, who owns a Forester and a Miata
Yeah, well mine has been sold. Lost a ton on it of course and no, no digital camera. I found the parts at the classified section of Miata.net, and I wouldn't suggest it to anyone. But it turned out good ... the front end especially made it look like a little Ferrari. (though it never sounded like it!!!) Sorry, I forget the manufacturer, but it was often in the mags and on Miata.net about the time you were getting yours.
Good to see you!
I'm trying to find out if such a thing -- of any type -- has been designed for the WRX. I figure I'll know more the next time. (my wife says if I knew anything....etc.)
Go Bluejays.

I have yet to see a re-bodied WRX. Well, if you don't count the Chevy Borrego. ;-)

2. WHAT IS THIS STORY OF THE FACE-LIFTED WRX.? IS THE 03 MODEL DIFFERENT FROM THEACTUAL CAR. IF SO, WHERE CAN I SEE SOME PICS. THX
Anyhow...to your question about the 03's. There is a new color; Sonic Yellow, a lighted ignition key ring and that's about it.
The regular Imprezas now get the same dual vanity mirrors that the WRX has had all along.

Thanks.

People are actually getting pretty nuts about it. They're finding three year old artist concept pictures of the current WRX and posting them as the redesign.
The thinking is it will be the '04 model in N. America.
The closest we came to a confirmation of this was the General Manager of Subaru Australia admitting to the redesign in Aussie newspapers.

One guy in Long Island and a small one installed in his sedan. It was put in front of the roof cross beam (or whatever it's called). The front of it came past the visors though.

But aftermarket can be better than OE - lifetime warranty vs. just 3 years, plus I have one-touch open/close/tilt, plus programmable to close or not close when you remove the key. Beat that! :-)
QSubaru? Haven't been asked that in a while. The owner was deeply in debt and Subaru stopped shipping stuff to them. Darlene had to withdraw her web site. I really, really miss her.
But try parts@libertysubaru.com, they're the next best thing.

I paid $295, plus $70 to have my roof rails (which Imprezas don't have) cut shorter and reinstalled, for my pop up.
Our power moonroof was $895.

Thanks!

Good luck!
There's this bug screen:
http://www.mastrowrx.com/ (scroll toward the bottom)
I just replaced the screen on the front door of my house. I had some leftover so I cut it to fit the intercooler. Paid $6.00 for enough to repair the door and about 4 intercooler screens. :-)
I've also seen some pretty crafty screens at i-club meets. Including using thicker screen on the hood scoop.

One roll is a lifetime supply.
Cut it approx. 5 7/8" x 16 3/4", you can use scissors or paper cutter for this.
It will fit right on top of the fin area. The boot on the hood scoop will hold it in place.
I've had mine on my WRX Sedan for about 3 months, works great!
Keeps the bugs out of the fins, and doesn't restrict air flow since the open area of the screen is greater than the scoop opening.
Cheap and effective!
Happy driving!

P.S. My road trip was canceled due to an illness in the family. Everybody's OK now, we just have to pay hospital bills instead of hotel bills. Will try again later!

2. Europe, Japan and other countries have the option

As for warranty, they can't deny all warranty claims, but anything having to do with leaks, or body integrity would be fair game IMHO.
