Wanting to Purchase a GC8 WRX STI. (Common Problems) (Aftermarket Support)
Thinking about Importing a GC8 WRX STI, sedan, what are common problems? and where would I buy most aftermarket parts if I chose to mod it? Not much I can find by a basic web search. But looking at if I do purchase it, I'll probably stick to Coilovers, Wheels, and maybe look into simple power mods, Exhaust/Intake/Headers/Tune ETC not looking to go crazy, but wanting to turn a few bolts for fun on the weekend.

most of the stuff is the same as the gd or the gg(wagon) 2002-2005 wrx the suspension stuff is the same as the wagons so you can use that

for the price of an import an 02-06 WRX donor car and a clean US GC8 body should be considered. in fact you can run a turbo on a MAF NA ecm and tune. just not huge boost and injectors, etc.

If you are deadset on a JDM STI, good luck. They are rare. If you want an awesome 2001 coupe with a 2007 EJ255 drivetrain swap, I have a friend who is looking to sell his. LMK. |
