Buying 04 WRX

DIRTY JBP

dirty boostin :D
Hey guys, I know I have been out of the picture for a little while, but that's because I've been busy working and looking for my new Subaru. I have found an 04 JBP WRX, 5 speed, with low miles. I just wanted to put up a post to you guys, so that you may be able to tell me exactly what I might want to look for problem wise. I know quite a bit about Subaru's, but this will be my first "turbo" car, and I don't know as much as I would like to. So if you guys could give me any pointers or special stuff I should check out before I buy, I would greatly appreciate it. I will also be looking for performance parts, so if any of you have some decent WRX parts, let me know, I'm in the market. Thanks, and hope to hear from some of you soon!

 
personally, I'd get a leakdown and compression test.

That'd let you know if there was any looming issues with the motor

 
My friend is going to do the compression test for me, he has everything to do it, so I am pretty golden there. It also has a V1 Cobb Accessport, which I am hoping I can use with my car? I'd like to be able to go Stage 2 before summer. What would be everything that I would need to go Stage 2? And could I tune it with that particular Accessport? I am also looking for some decent parts to go that way, so please let me know if you have anything I might need/want. Thanks a lot for your input guys, it's nice having the good guys on your side!

 
Well I have a compression test and leakdown test all set up. Can't wait to find out what the results will be. Otherwise, pending good results, I am looking for parts to go Stage 2. So PM me or shout at me on here if you have any parts I'd be interested in. Thanks!
