every cars are money pits!

btw I've finaly found a decent transmission for the wrx, it's a 2002 one but the center diff and the 3 output bearings(I think) have been changed recently, all gears shift fine, has about 90k miles on it but for 500$ I can't complain. Wheel bearings are noisy, I'll have to replace them, and I also have a leak near the catalytic converter, I'll probably need to change the downpipe as it's pretty much the only exhaust part that haven't been changed yet. There's also rust to fix and the clear is cracking in some spots, I'll have to partialy respsray it. I'm glad that I just bought a perfectly fine 240sx s13 that is stock and unmolested(aka soon to be money pit lol), that gives my wrx a break and I don't have to rush the repairs on it

did you plan on racing the rally car this season or these things can wait a little? off course the car will be getting a lot of abuse so it will break for sure. Just curious, what suspension set up are you using on it?

I was planning on getting into some of the hillclimbs in the fall but we'll see. After this weekend, the only critical needs for racing will be harnesses and brakes. The rest is just cosmetic or not critical to the operation of the car.

As far as suspension goes, I'm on KYB GR-2's and Tein lowering springs. Unfortunately, the ass-end of the car weighs as much as a pillow so it sits almost at stock height. I'm going to invest in some coilovers before the year is over.

investing in some rally specific coilovers or the street ones like everybody use to slam their cars? I don't think I'd trust the ones I have on my wrx to do rally(nor anything else than a slammed daily driven car) I think that rally specific ones are quite expensive tho x.x like 3k or more

I just need something that has a high range of adjustment, that's all. I was talking to someone who had a set of coilovers and he said sometimes the 5-way adjustables don't go soft enough even on the lowest settings. I've seen some that have like 25 different settings for the dampers etc.
