is this a WRX?

[Team Loco]

i am seeing an intercooler but then i'm seeing drum brakes at the rear. just wanna be sure. thought the wrx came with rear disc brakes

[SiR8081]

clearly a swap, WRX has subaru brakes front and disc brakes rear, with brembo option btw

this thing has 2 cable ties holding the rad in place what a joke

[Freelander]

that is a swapped TS with an early 2001/2002 wrx motor, and quite frankly the swap looked like it was done by a 1 handed mechanic who's assistant was a monkey

doh be hating on d tie straps

[Freelander]

hoss i not hating tie straps but some things yah just dont tie strap down...

[seecarr11]

^^all true but it has some expensive rims on it. the g.games wolf wheels are not cheap.

shame the owner didn't take the money and use it to upgrade the brakes and everything else you're supposed to upgrade when doing a mod like this

[MISHI]

Well maybe that's why they have tie straps... Couldn't buy nutten else afterwards...

Heck maybe that's why they sellin the car.

Gc8 intercooler?

There are WRX'S that come with brembos?, are you sure? because the spindle/rotors are different.

[InDeForest]

Swap, 1996 or earlier WRX engine

[wagonrunner]

but wait, did they change the chassis VIN plate?

[wrxdevil]

limited edition?

Yup, as far as I know some of the auto WRX's came with drums in the rear.

[Rx]

looking "swappish" to me .....

[InDeForest]

No WRX ever came with drum brakes, thats a TS swap

[Captainzaak]

How da intercooler looking like he take it out of d back of a fridge so?

[TheBoostLord]

Ditto on Pre 96 gc8 engine, and NO wrx has drums.

[DTAC]

Drum brakes??! Seriously? Come on now. Would like to see a rear view to be positive though any more pics?

There are auto WRX's (4EAT trans), but there are NO GENUINE WRX's with drums in the rear. LOCO........putting a WRX or STI badge on a TS does not make it a WRX or an STI

The car in question is a TS (look at the seats....WRX's don't come with leather seats either ....in any market i.e. USDM, SDM or JDM. Only cloth )....like so:




......and the engine is a pretty old GC8 WRX engine (most likely a 96-98 model due to the offset intercooler).


LOL @ price for the car.

[buzz]

[playerskrew]

[Trini Hookah]

[shogun]

[DrunkenMaster16]

not 100% sure as i am no subaru junkie but i believe the WRXs come with the option from the factory to upgrade the brakes to brembos. most manufacturers have this as an option cant say for certain tho

[VexXx Dogg]

That is as much a WRX as I am.
