Okay, I took a few pics of the wagon. Nothing great, but the best I could do on short notice..

Current mods:

Legal tint
Kenwood double din HU
OEM painted side skirts
Blue "i" badge in grill

OEM short shifter
AEM pulleys (came on the car)
AccessPort Stage 1
Cobb rear sway bar

Poltec rear endlinks are ordered.

The car is a 2002, 5spd, with 62,000 miles on it. (I got it at 60K.)
I've waxed the crap out of it, trying to get some shine out of it.

Maybe I should stop ever here more often, Ray didn't you have a wagon and get rid of it?


Oh and here's a vid with my wagon in it(and my old EVO).

Loooooong story. I had an '02 sedan, stage 4, sold it...had another car for a while...sold it...then decided I was a Subie guy afterall, and found a wagon for the practicality.

I know the feeling. Former sedan owner, then the EVO, now the wagon.



You had a minivan, right?

No "I" didn't have a minivan. My wife had one. Shutup, you.

Actually, that Toyota van was an excellent vehicle. It got better mileage than some of the WRX's on this board, could haul anything, gave you space so that you didn't have to hear the kids screaming in your ears, etc. Sadly, the wife wrecked it...

Yikes, I was kidding about the minivan, you really had one? Stupid Sienna's, there are like 7 recalls on them.(better off now!)


Just to stay on topic.

I like that poster....I may create a high-res one and print it out for my office...

Looks great Ray! I really like this picture.

You'll like the PolTec endlinks, especially with that large Cobb bar.

What are you going to get for wheels and tires?

[Big Sky WRX]

I had an 02 sedan- loved the car, got the wagon and frankly love it more

nice poster (and vid)

Long live the wagoneers!

I was just rewatching the video(I like the song ) and it looks like I spend a lot of time in the dirt. Apparently I only film when I am off-road. I wish there were more Sunday Auto-X's around me. Stupid Saturday work....

Thanks!
No changes on wheels in the short term. The stockers are nice and light.
I'm open to recommendations on tires, which I hope to buy in 3-4 weeks. I've looked at Kumho Ecstas, which seem to be reasonably priced. Do you have an opinion?

Do you want to stay with the stock tire size, or go to the 225/50/16?

Would you like more of an all season tire than an all out performance tire?

I was thinking of going more towards the performance end of the spectrum, and it would be nice to go to the 225's, as long as everything will fit in the wheelwells okay...

Crap, that was yesterday. Of course I had to neet the closing lawyer on my refinance. Dang it.

The stockers may be light, but they aren't very wide and the wagon is even narrower than the sedan. Upgrading to STi BBS's and 235's made a HUGE difference in how the car sticks.
