some more knowledgable than me said you're better off waiting for an sti (he suggested a ver.5?). the plain jane wrx models of that vintage suffered cooling/overheating problems, among other things.

domestic versions wouldn't have that problem at all it's making pussy power and therefore generating pussy heat.
When you make big power with pussy cooling that's when shits fail.

are you sure about that? i thought i had my fact straight... my friend had a 98 RS, and he had the phase 1 DOHC engine that overheated the engine due to the blown headgasket issue (his went at 80k kms, after being repeately told by the dealer he didn't have a problem). he told me that the 99-01 phase 2 engine with the SOHC heads did not have the same problems he had  | |
