2002 WRX

After previously having a 2011 WRX and then a 2002 WRX (with cage, seats, harness, etc) I decided I wanted to go back to the GR chassis and build something more street/daily friendly. I started looking and eventually found a 2010 STI SE Hatch in TX. I was originally looking at WRX's (planning to swap my 6 speed over), but it was the color and body style I wanted and at a good price.

The car was previously built and then taken back to stock with a motor from a totaled car with supposedly only 20k miles. It included a few items that I would have likely purchased anyways (COBB AP, fuel, clutch, etc). I flew down to TX and then drove the car back to MN. It was just over 1,000 miles and I made 3 stops along the way. It took around 16 hours to drive it back (including the stops).

Here are some more photos from along the trip.
