OE Drivetrain is a 4AT
MY drivetrain is a 2002 WRX 5MT transmission, custom rebuilt, by yours truly, with JDM STi gearset. Pedal assy, trans. crossmember, shift linkage, driveshaft fitment, master cylinder mounting, etc. all done, again, by yours truly. Still somewhat of a work in progress as I have to re-do my original crappy trans crossmember.
Magnaflow 2.5" catback
Chassis:
Koni strut inserts
Custom springs to lower and account for weight difference of 5MT
Wheels & Tires:
Right now it's got OE 2006 STi wheels, but that'll change after she's painted.
Body:
Currently in an almost fully sanded/prepped state. Original color was "ebony pearl"...basically a black with red metallic flake. Looked pretty sweet.
I can't decide if I should go with the OE color, or a flat color. Also considering some sort of 2-tone scheme.
Interior:
Seat swap for alcantara seats from other SVX models.
Alpine type R speakers all around, Phoenix Gold 75x4 RMS amp, Kenwood HU.
This was my first car since I couldn't afford a '97 2.5RS. I wish they still built 'em like this. She's 16 years old and still has a higher quality feel than lots of the new vehicles I get into.
