Had my 2002 WRX from new and done nothing apart from minor mods and new tyres.
Fast, reliable car I'll be keeping for another couple of years.

I have a 52 plated UK WRX and the dealer finally agreed to change the clutch due to the "judder" a few months back (approx 20k on the clock)

ran mine to 48K

No probs at all, never glitched once, serviced on time and generally run on Super. I would have been confident to run it to 100k easily but it was time to move on for me.

Hi Martin

"MY01 with 52K miles on the clock."........... LOL

I don't think Fuji Heavy Industries will recognise your car from the MY01 sales brochure !!!!!!!!!!!

01 wrx 52500 miles on it.

Sh.t paintwork from new, Belgian dealer did a sh.t job trying to fix it.

piston slap from new (hasn“t developed).

faulty cam pos. sensor, changed under warranty by another (fantastic) Belgian dealer.

TGVS CEL. one valve stuck after engine wash.

Bit unusual Scooby story this. Love the car more and more. Oh and lots of mods too. I blame Scoobynet for this :-)
