newbie question...
Going to be buying a WRX this month. Either an 02 or 03. What are there differences between the two if any. I know on the 04 there are some cosmetic changes to the front and rear lamps. Thanks for any and all help.

The 03 has a lighted ignition and a slightly different front badge. Performance-wise they are the same (stock of course).

They also installed something with the drivetrain so you can't drop the clutch at 9k rpms.

The '03 has a second radiator cap too. And the oil cap just says OIL on the '02 whereas the '03 has a bunch of crap written on it.
