Bought a WRX last night...

Diz · 03-20-2001, 06:44 AM

In the immortal words of Dave Matthews, 'I did it'. The planets aligned and I traded my beloved silver RS for a WR Blue WRX sedan last night. Heuberger had it sitting on the lot. Someone ordered it and then decided they didn't want it. Pictures are forthcoming. I have already ordered my wheels (OEM 17s) and I'm having them and the coilovers put in on saturday. My K&N panel filter from the RS was a direct drop in to the WRX. You gotta love Subaru. Anyway, I'll keep you guys updated on how it responds to modification. Cheers.

Mike Jerry · 03-20-2001, 06:49 AM

Gee - I did't see this one coming at all...

Diz · 03-20-2001, 07:16 AM

Brat -

I should be talking to Bob today. I'll let you know what he says.

Mike -

Ah, shaddup...

I see a good-natured internal rivalry coming on here. BTW - do you still plan on keeping your RS?

bratmantlz · 03-20-2001, 07:37 AM

El Kabong · 03-20-2001, 07:48 AM

Ah cool... any chance you'll be able to come to the World Arena April 1st to give me a ride?

Will · 03-20-2001, 08:09 AM

How much for the Wheels? What type of Coilovers? Did your insurance go up by much?

-Will

JJTheSubeDriver · 03-20-2001, 08:11 AM

Congratulations!!

How about quick putting the first 1000 miles on and then showing up for the 1st

By 17" OEM wheels, I assume you mean the UK/Canada ones? Could you fill us in on where you got them, and for how much?

THanks,
Andy

Diz · 03-20-2001, 09:15 AM

Wow. Lotsa ??s.

Insurance - the jury is still out on that one.

Coilovers - they are the Teins that I had on my RS.

Wheels - Yep, these are the stock ones that the people in the UK get. You can order them through JC Sports.

As for April 1st, I'm not too sure. I may be snowboarding then. Talk at you guys later.

Strepto · 03-20-2001, 10:53 AM

Paul, congrats! I'll be meeting with my salesman today at 1pm. Going to work out financing and a possible trade-in (speaking of, what did you get for your RS?). Wish me luck. Hopefully I won't have to order one. I'd like a blue one, but as Eric said to me, black doesn't show as many cone marks

Diz · 03-20-2001, 01:02 PM

Sorry Tom, I was talkin' smack back at Mr. Jerry...

tomrichardson · 03-20-2001, 01:04 PM

You going to race it in the SCCA Solo2 auto-x's this year?

Diz · 03-20-2001, 01:28 PM

Maybe. I need to get some track time in that thing. However, I don't want to beat it. I was thinking about doing a high performance driving school first.

El Kabong · 03-20-2001, 01:37 PM

You don't want to beat it? Damn man, it's not a rare Ferrari, it's still a Subaru, they'll make more...

You would learn a ton about the car if you autocrossed it. Much more real world driving skills than doing track time.

Strepto · 03-20-2001, 02:16 PM

I'll keep running my RS at autoXes till I get my WRX. Then once the break-in is complete...to stock class I go to kick Eric's butt

El Kabong · 03-20-2001, 02:49 PM

GS is going to be a very fun class this year. Those Celicas are fast! Hopefully Kathy will run somewhere else again...

Bring on the WRX's!!

jImp · 03-20-2001, 03:56 PM

Paul,
Congratulations on the new car! Too bad you don't live in Lafayette like your title indicates.

ImprezaRS dot com · 03-20-2001, 10:43 PM

I think this will be fun, as Steve Hofle in the springs is getting a WRX too, so a few of us will have wacked out RS's to go cruising together with Diz, Hofle and PunkRS.

Larry

Mike Jerry · 03-21-2001, 12:05 AM

Paul,

I do not plan on keeping my RS, but as long as it is around I wouldn't mind showing you some manners in that pretty candy-blue REXy-pooh.

And who said anything about good-natured?

tomrichardson · 03-21-2001, 12:10 AM

You going to race it in the SCCA Solo2 auto-x's this year?

Diz · 03-21-2001, 12:39 AM

You only mock what you fear...

bratmantlz · 03-21-2001, 12:52 AM

tomrichardson · 03-21-2001, 12:54 AM
