From Honda to Subaru

Postby ap_red97ek » April 06, 2010

Well i've been wanting a subaru forever now and have been looking around forever, debating on a Wrx or a Legacy 2.5 GT. Well I really want a Legacy but I was beginning to get a little impatient so i ended up get a 2006 WRX. Its got a few mods to it and I have a couple in mind, nothing to crazy (wheels, lip, HID's, tint, and a mines replica spoiler). Still have the honda that i'm gonna use for my daily to drive back and forth to work with.

Here is a picture of my new baby all cleaned up.

I'm fairly certain with those mods you'd destroy a stock STi. Just get you a 6sp now ;)

abd yes, i should have no promblem walking all over stock STi's, as long as the tranny does blow up on me. Thats my biggest fear. I'm definately keeping my eyes peeled for any 6 spd's that may come up for sale.
