You would be surprised at the advantages and practicality of v8 WRX.
no brembo : no prob can upgrade to even better brakes
no STi seats : no prob at least the front two can get quite easily
no 6 gears : 5 gears with longer ratio is not always that bad especially when it comes to top speed, right?

Also, the suspension is better suited for our roads and highways. How often do we get the chance to attack on corners anyway? lol. Handling can be improved. Even the STi guys spend money to change all kinds of things even though they know it's not really neccesary. These cars are good enough as they are, be it WRX or STi.

..and the best of all. That boxer burble due to single scroll turbo and unequal length header. Almost all the JDM STi guys are jealous of this.

The only thing is, if you're going for crazy power there's a lot of internals you got to change. But then again, even the STi guys would do this.

I so wanted to buy the WRX. But I did not even though there was a brand new one from the local dealer. But that's another story.

Happy hunting bro.

........ But that's another story.

the best posting ever in this thread!

okla... u got me skubv8! will certainly consider WRX after this. come to think of it, true la. u guys in SCM although already driving a STi, always gatal wanna upgrade. 2.2 stroker kit la, suspension la, this n that bushing la, basicly anything u guys can think off la! the best thing is, the WRX owners can always get the STI's stuff from STi users since u guys always wanna upgrade. or just get it from any halfcut! hehehehehe....

hmmmm........

anyway, my nick in SCM is Gilera.

And what is the fair price for a version 7 STI now days...

 

[gibod_78]

erm.. there's one selling 108k and another fully mod at 130k in Mototrader. Guess its the range nowdays. The setback is car loan interest for foreign cars is upped by 1% already. But in the current economic situation, desperate selling is also likely.

 

[skubv8]

yes the interest rate has been increased, but at the same time most dealers have reduced the car prices. Some by almost 10K.

[Cars]

in that case,what will be the interest rate for saying a 2000 year Subaru ?

 

[EvolutionZ]

3.8% to 4.2% depends on number of years.....price did drop but still hard to find.

 

[Cars]

you are right,I just ask and was around that level...

bro, have u found any yet?
saw one at motor trader but selling quite expensive...

 

[Cars]

Not yet bro,i saw that unit also... very expensive ..

 

[skubv8]

expensive should not matter if the car if really in good condition. I wouldn't mind paying more for a good condition bug eye. That car is going to be classic.

[gibod_78]

looks like some really love the bug eye. probably coz of the burble sound. what abt maintenance, wear & tear? does the parts (engine/bodypart) easy to find? coz it will soon enuf to be categorised as an older model since there's v8, v9 and newly chasis v10 ahead of it. I heard GC owners having difficulties looking for parts. not modding but simply wear & tear maintenance.

 

[skubv8]

no prob. GD series is the longest running production from 2000-2007.
Engine all same EJ20 only turbo single scroll. Lotsa aftermarkets out there. From headlights to spoilers. I think not a big issue.
6MT also same STi parts and aftermarkets. wear & tear I suppose we have to expect here and there, after all already 7-9 year old car. And people don't drive the car slow.
You can still find a nice bug eye out there. The question is whether or not it's for sale.
