Hi new to board have a few ?'s
Hi great site. I was looking into getting a WRX and i few things to ask.
1) Do to medical reasons( bad left knee) im going for the auto trans. now i want to do a few mods to it how much power can the auto trans take before it would go?
2) The new face lift on the '04 STI is that just for that model or is the WRX getting the same thing as well?
3) does anyone have have any pics of some nice body kits or sites to go to?
thanks for the help.

hi
1. i have an MY02 wrx silver sedan with the 4eat. I feel that the car can easily handle 300hp to the fly maybe even to the wheels safely. If you go with the auto i read that there is a aftermarket torque converter to help with lag and changing uppipe will also help. Opening up the exhaust with a turbo back and some kind of engine mangagement system like a utec that will remap your cars ecu will gain you some wheres around another 30 horse. With these mods you will be looking at 300hp to fly easily. In my opinion i am staying away from boost controllers. But if you go that route make sure u got some good gauges. You should have them any ways but too much boost will ruin your engine if not monitored. Change out the tires as soon as possible and if you go with that much power suspension and brake upgrade will be beneficial.
2. Yes the wrx will get a redesign along with the STi for the MY04.
3.Although i havent done any exterior work except for painting my calipers, westwing makes nice kits. Also syms. Just do a search on google.com and type in wrx body kits and a ton of stuff will come up.
Good luck
