as far as i know they last as long as the belt/chain and tensioner was replaced at spec'd intervals...i dot know if its internal or what, but thats what ive been told
Questions about WRX's... 2002, thinking of looking at/buying
I know nothing about them other than, it's a turbo, and AWD... Are these subie motors tough stuff? 161k is a lot (except for a Saab of course 
)..... Anything I should look for in particular if I do drive up to look at this? Other than obvious odd noises and blow by.... It's a blue 4 door.....
Here's the craigslist description........
2002 Subaru WRX 5spd. I'm the original owner-never been wrecked. 161k miles. It has Brian Crower Valves and springs, Gates Racing timing belt, Cosworth billet timing belt guide, Injen cold air intake, turboxs 2 stage boost controller, Walbro racing fuel pump, ground wire kit, aluminum racing radiator, full 3" exhaust, turboxs BOV, Exedy clutch, ACT Prolite 9lb flywheel, GT spec front and rear strut bars, STI pink struts, Tenzo R 18" wheels and I might be forgetting some things. As far as problems with the car.....couple of door dings, a few very small dings in the roof from being caught in a hail storm (very hard to see, but I'm trying to make sure I cover everything), small scratch on top of rear bumper from unloading something out of the trunk, missing two center caps off the rims and the polished lips have some pitting. Everything works, AC blows cold, etc... KBB lists private party value at $5496 for good condition, not counting the mods. I'm asking $4900 obo which I think is a fair price. This is a very quick car that still turns heads and sounds great. Title in hand. No joyriders. Test drives for serious buyers only. Email me if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Ronnie
