Just traded my 97 Civic
 

Last Saturday Night I had nothing do do so I was driving around town, Orlando, Fl, and saw this 2002 Blue WRX in the lot, I'm like let me check it out, had nothing better to do. Long story short, the numbers worked out, and I traded my 97 Civic Ex for it. The last owner traded the WRX to get a brand new WRX STi. The guy had added a turboxs blow-off valve, boost gauge, short shifter/ momo shifter, HKS turbo timer, a factory interior appearance package, well a bunch of extras that I got free. I'm really happy with the car. Handles, performs and looks a million times better than my civic, In my opinion. But I still have my now Turbo 88 Civic Hatch, which I will never sell. The WRX is more like a get ----- car. I love it so far.
It looks like this one

I'll get more pictures of it later, I almost cried when I saw them taking my civic away, had it for 3 years, and have a lot of memories on it, good and bad.

congrat on the new car, ;D looks nice

Re:Just traded my 97 Civic
 

i looked for one of those for a while, hard to find one for less than 20 grand

Re:Just traded my 97 Civic
 

mine was 18,000, The guy had all the maintenance receipts, and even the priginal sticker price. He paid 28,000 after all the upgrades a little over a year ago. Saved me $10,000.

How many miles are on it? Looks great btw. :)

Re:Just traded my 97 Civic
 

22,000 miles, oh an they gave me an extended warranty free, I checked all the papers it is 100% free, 5 years or 100,000 mile on everything, so if the motor blows, I'll get it replaced free.

Thats cool. :p Gonna modify? Or just a daily driver?

Re:Just traded my 97 Civic
 

I'm not sure yet. I have the hatch to ---- with, but I know I want more from the WRX, but again I don't want to ---- it up. Definatelly would like to get a FMIC, for the bad ass look, and maybe upgrade the turbo and exhaust. I don't want to ---- the suspension, so If I do something I'll pay good money for stuff. I'm not sure, I know pretty much all about Hondas, but I got to get more into this car now.
Any suggestions?

Any one?

I think I'd leave the WRX alone. My roommate has one thats been sitting in my ------- garage needing its 3rd tranny because hes modded it too far.

He can't afford another trans for awhile.

just take it easy....if you lean on it, it dents. if you build it up, the tranny breaks, if you slam the hood, it dents and pops up at high speeds.

faster than hell and sounds mean but its fragile....
