My brother James Sponaugle recently moved from Indiana to Minnesota and he decided to sell his WRX. Needless to say I bought it. It is a 2002 WRX that he purchased new just a few months after I got my WRX (My car is a 02/2001 production, and his is an 04/2001 production).

I figured it was good to keep the brother cars together. The car has been relatively undriven in the last 10 years. It has a bit over 40,000 miles, and I suspect most of those miles were in the first few years.

It is a blast from the past mod-wise! It has the original 2.0L motor with an APS front mount intercooler, a VF35 turbo, an AVCR!!, the original EcuTek tune that we did back in probably late 2004, Rota wheels, Tein coilovers, STI pink injectors, Wilwood 6 pot front brakes, JDM brembo rear brakes.. and a JDM 6-speed. That is pretty much the perfect mod list from 2005!

You don’t see a lot of single owner 40k mile WRXs with nearly perfect paint, no crashes, the original engine, and a clean interior. I just need to buy Tim’s STI and I’ll have all of the cars of that era. 😉

Thanks to Lucas English for transporting the car to me from Indiana on his last trip!
