Cool. It looks like the new age RS is gaining a decent following. I was hoping to be an original :curse: :happynow:
Also, there are some peculiarities about the 02RS, so it is a good idea to ask questions before doing a mod (actually, do a search first

). Some that I know of off-hand:
-Exhaust from GC8 (old body style) is the same with the exception of one exhaust hanger. Brullen and Stromung make 02 specific exhausts.
-Uses WRX short shifters. That seems strange at first, but it's a geometry issue rather than a drivetrain issue.
-Most drivetrain parts for GC8 work
-Most body/suspension parts for the WRX work
