welcome to the subie family man. Sorry to see ya go but you made a nice little profit on that P5 and made a good choice.
 
Nice car, I am jealous of the AWD. You did well on the P5.
 
Wow, your car was a great man but congrats on the new ride. I may be interested in those front end links but will have to PM you when I get dough. lol
 
That's a very clean midnight blue, but I'm sure you are enjoying the power and AWD of the WRX. I love having a Turbo but another 100hp and AWD would be out of this world.
 
Make sure you head on over to nasioc (if you haven't already). I went from nasioc to mazdas247 :)
 
I owned an '02 WRB Sedan for almost 2 years, and I miss it everyday. I miss it more when I get to sit in one or drive one because it was such an awesome car. Given the chance I would trade my P5 in for one in a heartbeat. Preferably a wagon this time, haha.
 
Welcome to the club, and hopefully you have better luck than me. I've had a blown rear diff and now my engine spun a bearing. I've only had the car 6 months. But it sure is fun! And I still love it!

Wow man that sucks what happened.

Well I think my rear diff was weak and I ended up bending a rim and I think that shock sent it over the edge. A spider gear ended up breaking into 6 pieces and wrecking some of the other gears and bearings. And with the engine I'm not totally sure yet. It may have been oil moving away from the pick up on a few cloverleafs on the freeway. I only noticed something was wrong at first when I looked at my oil pressure gauge. But I got and extended warranty from the last guy that owned it so the rear diff and probably the engine are covered by it. Were just in the process of tearing down the engine right now.
