Cool Newbie Question

Hi I am a new member. Can anyone point out to me the difference in the 2002 RS impreza and the 2002 WRX. Does the 2002 RS impreza come with turbo and AWD.
Thanks again,
I was just wondering cause I am in the market for a turbo impreza.

No buddy, the 2002 RS does not come with a turbo. Easy way to look at it, if you have hood scoop and a TMIC (Top Mount Intercooler) or a aftermarket FMIC (Front Mount Intercooler).

I highly suggest going to Gruppe-S, LIC, or FLI and let them know what your goals are and they can help you in the direction of what you need to do or buy. Remember, normally buying things in packages are much cheaper than buying things separately. But sometimes, if you look on this website under classifieds, or even craigslist.com (under the autoparts sections) you can see and buy parts for really cheap.

Another thing, suspension always comes first. Why?: Your car needs to be able to handle the future power upgrades that you want.
