repaint in 2021 to better than new One of the greatest automotive
rivalries sprang up more than 30 years ago between Mitsubishi?s
Lancer and Subaru?s Impreza, which impacted an entire generation of
automotive enthusiasts and speed freaks. The previous owner had a
show quality paint job done on the car. It lasted close to a year
in the body shop getting a high quality paint job. It shows! This
2003 Impreza WRX AWD was made in June 2002 in Fuji is hard to miss,
dressed as it is in Sonic Yellow (code 13V). The paint and trim are
in overall excellent order, the bodywork is straight and solid, the
body-colored bumpers fit tightly, and the engine bay is tidy. Car
comes witha clean auto check showing moderate damage in 1/23/2005,
car was professionally repainted since. This Subie rolls on Falken
radials, size 235/45ZR17 at every corner. Each tire is mounted on
factory alloy wheels. All tires and wheels are in very good order.
Under the hood is a 2.0L turbocharged flat four-cylinder engine
(code EJ205) backed by a five-speed manual transmission. Engine
modifications include an AEM cold-air intake, Cobb oil cap and
filler neck, Grimm, Turbo XS and other aftermarket parts. The
previous owner recently spent more than $3,000 of engine work,
including new coolant, new engine oil and engine oil filter changes
and a new engine thermostat. Performance mods were done at 78,xxx
miles, currentamileage at 86,554, less than 7,000 miles in two
years! Inside, the car?s black cloth interior (code B20) is in
overall great shape. The front bucket seats are heavily bolstered
and there?s a rear bench seat. There?s black carpeting, a neutral
headliner and a Momo four-spoke steering wheel. The inner door
panels and dashboard are in similar very good order, as is the
center console and shifter. A Kenwood AM/FM stereo with CD player
completes the interior. In December 2000, Subaru updated the WRX to
the second generation. The GDA WRX model also retained the
five-speed manual transmission gearbox design from the GC8. The GD
chassis, along with the WRX and STI, underwent two styling changes
in its life cycle. The original styling applied to A and B.
Initially, this design proved to be rather unpopular which prompted
a more conventional design for the later C models. Applied B (2001)
North America receives its first Impreza WRX models. They are
equipped with an EJ205 engine. Unlike the Japanese EJ205, the
US-spec engine uses a Mitsubishi TD04-13T turbocharger unit. In
stock form, it reaches a peak 13.6 psi (0.9 bar) of boost. The
seats are the same as the basic J-spec Impreza. The wheels are cast
16" x 6.5" version of the J-spec WRX NB wheels while the brakes are
two-piston/one-piston front and rear with the front rotors being
ventilated disks. 2002 WRXs came with brake duct plates that guided
the air in the front bumper vent to the wheel well. The gear ratios
are the standard export models, but the final drive is a 3.9:1
ratio. The rear LSD is a viscous coupling type. The steering rack
has a ratio of 16.5:1. Applied C (2002?2003) There are few changes
from applied B. The gears are changed to RA-width gears (one mm
increase in size) to increase durability of the transmission. There
is also a valve that prevents ?drop-clutch? starts in an effort to
reduce the number of shattered gearboxes from abusive AWD
launching. The ignition ring is now illuminated with green
lighting. Early 2002 WRXs had brake duct plates. At the end of
calendar year 2002, the brake duct plates were no longer equipped
on the WRXs. A shorter metal fuel pipe and longer connector hose
were implemented under the intake manifold to avoid fuel leaks at
freezing temperatures. Documentation includes engine repair
details. Competition to this Impreza WRX in 2003 primarily was
Mitsubishi?s Lancer Evolution VII. Other competitors included
Acura?s Integra Type S, Chevrolet?s Cavalier Z24, Dodge?s Neon R/T,
Ford Escort?s ZX2, Nissan?s Sentra SE-R Spec V, Pontiac?s Sunfire
GT and Volkswagen?s Jetta GLI. If you had one of these cars in high
