Well it seems the previous thread I wrote is not working for some reason, so I guess i'll have to ask again. Opinions appreciated. I am looking at a 2003 wrx with a few mods, ecutek, exhaust etc, bit of a stereo, good suspension vs a 02 sti which is standard, the 03 wrx is about 5g cheaper, and its going to be a real stretch to find the funds for the sti, not to mention the insurance costs, is it worth the extra cash for an STI even its an older model

Sti all the way.

I had to make the same decision about 4 months ago, would not change it for the world

6 speed, brembos, forged internals....... oh yeah..... thats the shiznit

Can u not get them to move on the price at all for the sti.
03 prob nicer looking shape but sti will have better internals,
Bigger brakes, 6 speed, and will probably hold its value a little better.

saying that spend little less and u have slightly newer car which u will modifi anyway. just wont have the little extras like brembos.

ej207, 6 speed, brembos.

nuff said.

well you can easily do a peanut eye conversion.

but the bug eye looks hot with a few tasteful exterior mods.

There would be no point the conversion would cost close to 5k, with that extra 5k you would most likely be able to afford a 03+ STi anyway.

financially no, but you would be a sikkunt anyways.

ps. STI sussy ftw.

Well i think i'll do some hardcore haggling for 02 sti's over the next couple of days. Have to say insurance is a bit of a turn off but oh well its hardly cheaper for a normal wrx anyway
