First, CL ad: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://harrisonburg.craigslist.org/cto/2566945932.html">http://harrisonburg.craigslist.org/cto/2566945932.html</a><!-- m -->

Rex's CL Ad Wrote:Well, you know, sometimes you just need a little change. And that's what I'm looking to do, a little change up.

So. Without further Ado, my WRX!

Specs:
2002 WRX Wagon "Bugeye"
5 Speed manual transmission
Sedona Red Pearl
Under 130k miles. (I think it's like, 128?)
Bitchin' sunroof. (Yeah, that's right, a sunroof on a Bugeye. Looks factory, but if you're a subie nerd you'll know it's not. Doesn't leak though!)
Factory Six Disc CD Changer
Cold AC, Hot Heat


Bone stock, save for an all-metal radiator and an Optima Yellowtop battery.
The trans shifts really well. No grinding. (An oddity for this vintage WRX)
Within the last 20k miles I had the following done:
Timing Belt
Water Pump
Spark Plugs
All fluids (Trans, diff, Coolant, and Brake)
New front rotors
Compression check (Don't remember the exact numbers but the mechanic said they were "Good with no large deviation between the cylinders")

Issues:
Some hail dents on the hood. WRX hoods are aluminum, so they dent if you look at them funny. It never bothered me.
Sometimes the passenger side speaker cuts out. Don't know why, never bothered to look.
The paint is a little rough. Again, if you know anything about Subarus, this won't surprise you. It's not bad, it just looks the 10 model years old that it is. I'm trying to be as honest as possible here.

Included with the car is:
"H6" rear brake upgrade 'kit'. (Rotors and caliper brackets). Never got around to installing these.
STI Catless up-pipe. Never got around to installing that, either.
Spare wheels. The tires I have on there now have lasted me longer than I expected and I haven't gotten the motivation to mount the BRAND NEW high performance tires on the "RS Six Spoke" wheels I have. I might do this next week. Right now there's some crap tires mounted on crappy stock WRX wheels.

I drive this thing every day to work and it's never let me down. I really like this car, but I got a Jeep so I don't need the AWD "every day" any more. Figured I'd try something different. But I'd need cash to do that so here we go.

After this "hurricane" blows through, I'll take some new pictures. For now, picture a Burgundy Bugeye WRX wagon and you'll have it.

Asking $8000 or best offer. You can email me above, or give me a ring at Five Seven 1 --- Nine9One --- FifteenFourtyfive

No trades, please.

Thanks!

So, you guys know what's up. You've seen the thread on this car, and you know exactly every dime I've spent on it. If you can do math, you can figure out that I'm basically asking for exactly what I have in the car, or best offer. (Maybe a hundo or two more for some "breathing room" for the inevitable lowballs that will ensue.)

It's a good car. I drive it every day to work and back, and it's never let me down, and never gotten less than 20mpg, no matter how I drive. Tell your friends, tell your neighbors, help a brother out. Smile

Love,

Rex


  So apparently there's a hurricane or something?

At least according to my Facebook.


  ATTENTION: G-Force has changed its track
Posted by: Sully - 08-24-2011, 09:44 PM - Forum: Lounge - Replies (5)

Just got back form G-Force tonight and have some things to report.

First, the death of AIK Fred. means that all their new "gear" seems to now be at the Richmond location. Got to use some new fancy neck braces and saw a bunch of extra helmets in bags laying on the floor. There is also a van with a kart on top of it parked out front. Did not notice any additional karts.

Second, G-Force Richmond has decide to revamp their track. They are still in the process but have some spy reports I gathered tonight. Let me start with so far I am not pleased. The track is the same everywhere except off the back straight for now. After the turn it is just a giant emtpy space and a wall up to the small straight before the hairpin which remains the same. That was one of my favorite parts of the track becasue it would make or break many slower drivers.

I found that a little brake right before the turn off the straight to get the tires to bite a little more and then turn in nearly contacting the wall and cutting close onto the small straight going into the hairpin, then reverting to my original line through there but with alot more braking due to the speed you keep up to the hairpin. I was on the brakes longer than I have ever been on that track before. And it wasn't becasue I was going slow because although all times were reset today because its the first day of the new track, I nailed down a 25.585 securing FTD beating out some people who I have seen there before and ran faster than me before also.

I asked the girl working who usually knows her shit about the new SK qualifying time and it has not been set yet meaning my 9 under 26 laps go for nothing and I feel it will be set to 27 or 26 anyways. I also asker her if the track was staying like this and she said the new turn is but they also plan to add a "bubble" on the straight. I'm assuming she means some type of chicane which is why I think the time will only drop to 27.

I wish FTD would have secured the SK affixed to my name but unfortunatley no, so I will wait until the time is set and then try again, of course this means within the school year, so perhaps an MM field trip aside from our Kart enduro.


  WTB: Diesel truck
Posted by: HAULN-SS - 08-24-2011, 10:07 AM - Forum: For Sale/Trade, WTB - Replies (64)

I am pretty much looking to buy a diesel truck. Here are some guidelines

Price: $10,000 or less
Miles: 200,000 or less

Make: Open to anything
Year Model: 95+
Turbo: yes pls
Dual Rear Wheels: nope
Extended cab: Yes, or crew cab
4x4: Yes

It seems like I can't find exactly the combination I am looking for. One 7.3 F250 I found had everything except 270k miles, which makes me a little nervous, even though it's probably alright for as little as I'll use it..and it was $6200 bucks

I'm a chevy guy, but damn, you just can't hardly find a duramax truck from the low 2000's that would be required to put it in my price range

There are a ton of Newer model fords out there approaching the price range, but that 6l diesel blows

I don't really like dodges all that much, but if a 12V cummins made an appearance somewhere, I'd consider it.

  Seat Brackets - School Me on Them
Posted by: Jake - 08-23-2011, 12:08 PM - Forum: Technical Discussion - Replies (17)

OK, so I now have bawlin' seats ready to go in the car. They both are missing any sort of hardware to mount them up. Thus, I'm lost.

I want to bolt both to the floor, I think. I'd put the driver's seat on a slider provided my height is not an issue.

Ideally, I'm not cutting new holes in my floorpan, but I have no idea how realistic this is.

The driver's seat is going to be a Momo Start 2007. The passenger side will be a Sparco Sprint Junior. I have some pimpy red GForce six-points to go with them.

Maeng suggested this place called Wedge Engineering, who seems to think that I need their special side mounts for the Momo, and then I have to measure things before they build the mount. I think it's a common car and seat, and I shouldn't have to do the leg work and potentially screw it up.

Sooo. Advice?


  Paintless Dent/Hail Repair in Nova?
Posted by: Apoc - 08-21-2011, 09:40 PM - Forum: Lounge - Replies (6)

I managed to leave my car out in a pretty serious hail storm, despite having a perfectly good garage. The result is minor, but very widespread hail damage in the form of small indentations all over the damned place. I'm probably going to make a claim for it, but wanted to see if there were recommendations on who/where before the insurance company tried to steer me to one of their places.

Also, anyone have an idea what the total bill for something like this is? I believe my comprehensive deductible is $500. I've been considering lowering that for about 6 months too. Sad

I tried to take pics of the car, but it didn't really come out with my cell phone. I need to get it wash to make it more clear and then maybe I'll whip out a real camera to see if I can capture it. In the meantime, here are pics during the storm and an after pic of the damage to my deck.
