cars are not investments anyway

Thankyou Captain Literal. I wasn't suggesting they ever were.

What makes a WRX a WRX? The short answer is the VIN. But what does a few digits matter anyway, particularly if cars are not investments.

If the conversion and mods were done right and it looks and performs like a WRX in all accounts, then to me that is a WRX.

The C&V Perfromance '97 Impreza that runs 9.4s is actually a GX. The car still looks like a GX down to standard 15" wheels but with a WRX bonnet. The reputable Speed magazine calls it a "WRX". Heck, I'd buy this GX over any STI any day!

at the end of the day, the only way i'd sell my car would be in bits or to the insurance company, if resale means so much to people, they should be buying houses instead.

and as far as what makes an impreza a wrx, well ask your insurance company.

VERY true!!


At the end of the day, any joe-blogg that sees a wrx looking car with spool sounds and bov will say its a wrx. I know i'd prefer Tunas' GX over many wrx's around.

Ive got a GX WRX Conversion , I wouldnt claim to have a WRX, more a Impreza GX 2.0L turbo, Even with all the WRX upgrades.

i gotz a Gx to sti conversion an that includes interior(as much as possible) driveline, including brakes hubs and cradles, engine obviously and front end body kit. i would say i have a modded wrx to anyone that asked.at the end of the day its a number seperating my car from others. :confused: :rolleyes:

perhaps it just depends on who ur talking 2 if they no what ur talkin bout :D
buyer wise i mean, but yer, i guess it does come down to the insurance ;)
