I have had three Disvovery 1s in the past dozen years. They are a good off road platform and the cost of goodies to throw in it have dropped over the years. Why get rid of it. Well I had two Discos and an older Range Rover in the garage and I honestly was looking for a change. Advantages, older LR, less electronics to fail, super cool in a parking lot and a very old heritage. Disadvantages, diesels are few and far between in the States and costly to convert. The Gas motor will do a great job but at 9 mpg on a downhill run is just not what I was looking for anymore.
I test drove an STi a few years ago and loved the car. So, there you have it, finally decided it was time for a change.
The WRX is an 03 with an 04 front clip. The mods, the ones that I found, AEM cold air intake, full RS R exhaust, HKS turbo timer and the by pass valve has had the gasket mode to block its dump. The brakes are the Subaru 4 ports in the front and two pots in the front. Not sure if that they are stocked on the 03 WRX. 17 inch STi wheels and BC Coilovers.. Oh and good oh Ohio rust mode in the rear wheel well.

The guy I picked it up from did not have it too long and no luck getting info from previous owner or ers...Posting pics is proving a challenge...lol
Oh it is at 201000 mileage.
No I understand the "tune" concept. I am up with tuning the old dude way. But that was with one or more carbs. I can read spark plugs and can tune a fish, but, uh, I am still getting my arms around the computer based tuning methodology.
I will work on better images.
