Gimp gets a Subaru!

[upnygimp]

Not a SVX though. Put the deposit down on an '02 Midnight Black Pearl WRX wagon today. Just need to get the financing and insurance on Monday and I pick it up Tuesday. It'll be the first manual I've driven, so that should be interesting. To say I'm excited would be an understatement.

Congrats! That's one sweet sweet car. Take plenty of pics when you get a chance...

wow, you finally bought a car!

Accessport, uppipe and downpipe for teh win! (and brakes, STi pink springs, JDM HID's, gauges...... teh mod bug bites hard!)


welcome to the Bugeye Mafia.

Yes, I finally bought a car and I can't wait to pick it up...from the little drive I had the car is just amazing. When they say that it doesn't give up its death grip on the road they weren't joking.

I'm so glad I bought it instead of the Baja I was considering

Sweet choice. I almost got the MBP wagon but found a sedan instead.

Its mine! Pictures tomorrow. One thing I learned- while the car does sound like its redlining and ready to shift once you hit about 3000 RPM, the real fun doesn't begin until well after that. It goes from quick to fast. And I love it to death.

where's teh pics???

how do the calipers and rotor hats look? i repainted teh wife's a month ago and it makes a *huge* improvement over the rusty and corroded look.

That does look a lot better. I might have to do it cause cheap mods are it right now. Anyways, quick pics. I might head out this weekend to find better ones.

That's easy...
Left Foot Clutch, Right Foot gas (revving to about 4k), Right hand on E-Brake lever.

With the trans in 1st. All in one smooth movement, slide your left foot over so the clutch pops out as your dropping the E-Brake and stomping the gas.

All the while laying either 4 rubber patches on the pavement or one dead 5 speed tranny

check my locker for the painted headlights mod. I like them a lot.
