i met the guy, i was at his house…trust me he’s a doctor, and he’s in his 40’s haha I dunno enough about all the subaru exterior parts but I found one of the threads he got them in and apparently they are the “jdm” headlights :gotme:

It was kinda funny though he was having 2nd thoughts when I was there, he even said he was to the point where if I had come and decided I didn’t want it anymore he would pay me for my time lol

> The lowering is from a set of Tein springs which have a nice stance and aren’t stiff/rough over bumps. Since he drove the car so much i’m sure he didn’t want those annoyances either, which worked well for me since thats what I wanted as well!

tein setups are nice. i have a friend with the tein basic damper on his eclipse. i was so suprised at how good the ride is for how stiff it is. its hard to describe. its firm but its a good smooth ride.

i dunno about that… i just picked up a 02 Forester with 225k on it and it is solid as a rock. definitely doesnt feel like 225k. no clunks, no rattles, smooth ride, engine is smooth. trans (auto) was replaced at 175k… probably had ZERO service lol. 1500$ for the car too 😉

Very nice find! Oh and for the mileage, one of jims rally subarus, the “wagon of doom” has 217k and everyone beats the balls off the thing and it won’t die. That has earned my trust in subarus. Hell, if that car died tomorrow you could part it cheaply/quickly and have very little loss.

Just got the clean bill of health from Innovative :tup: Compression/Leakdown came out ok, changed fluids, and had an up-pipe leak, so replaced all the turbo/manifold gaskets since it was mostly apart anyways. And the tune on it was…lets just say questionable…lol So a quick retune as well, everything is running smoothly 🙂

I miss my wagon, one of the few cars I’d have no qualms with buying high mileage as long as proper maintenance was done.

Nice deal for sure. :tup:

Congrats. That is a nice deal. The car looks great, pretty clean.

I never had a thing for wrx wagons, but this one changed my mind.

What kind of wheels are those… they look similar to mine. My wagon has 65k on it, but some minor scrapes/dings.
