My new WRX Wagon








2004 Subaru WRX Sport Wagon

Current mods:

Seibon C/F Hood with C/F STi Hood Scoop
Sparco Hood Pins
STi Intercooler
Spearco hose kit
Cobb 3" downpipe
Cobb 3" Turbo Back
Cobb Accessport tuning system
Factory Boost Gauge
Boosting 17.5psi
STi STS
Hella HID's
4 Piston WRX front calipers and oversized rotors
front and rear tower bars
rear anti sway bar
grounding kit
Fugly 17" rims
fully tuned
VF34 turbo (JDM STi Spec C turbo, good for 250-325awhp)
Unknown injector size
Unknown fuel pump size
Aftermarket Alarm and Immobilizer

The previous owner had all of these modifications done by Subaru, he never did any of them himself (besides mabye the grounding kit). Car is fully warranted, including aftermarket parts. I got this car for a steal of a price, the dealership had NO idea what this guy had on the car, they did know it was modded. I will definitely be changing a few things on this car (mostly cosmetic items, such as head lights, suspension, wheels) and possibly tuning further with more upgrades to support more HP. This car is already as fast if not faster than an STi. I am very happy with my purchase.

i dont think its faster then an STI yet. 2.0 < 2.5 in the end. even with all the parts. I lot of WRX guys always go up against stock/lightly modded STi and they either keep up or get slowly walked. I would say urs might be able to keep up with them but you still hit a wall at 300whp with the 2.0

but it is a sexy wagon and a very fast car nontheless.

New headlights and some different rims would make a HUGE difference. I think the hood would look better painted, too, perhaps even leaving the scoop bare carbon.

True, but it's all in the tuning. I'll see what I can do to this car, and I need to get it to the dyno to see what it's at right now.

Blah, everybody read what I wrote in my first post. Those that know my maxima know I am very picky in how the car looks. For the record, I hate the headlights and the wheels (and especially the wheel gap).

I am planning on retrofitting the HID's into another type of headlight, I just need to figure out which headlights I want to use.

dent has been removed. Only mod is 17inch black SSR competitions


and with the right drop and the proper size tires on those rotas they would look nice on that car

Congrats, I acutally like those little wagons. IMO, the nasty scoop, headlights, and rims gotta go. I also like the Pro Drive rear section better than the Cobb both for sound and looks.

I like the scoop, never thought I would though. It is there for a reason mang 17.5psi needs cooling somehow.

Don't waste your time retrofitting the projectors that are in the current headlights, pick up something better and sell the current headlights as whole units.

I've been thinking this as well, though the hella projectors have EXCELLENT cutoff. I gotta go outside and get some pics later.

Right now with the current mods, I estimate it's anywhere between 260-310whp, my gutt dyno (notice not butt dyno, because this thing hurls your stomach around) says that it is around 280awhp.
