Sti is out, Prius V is in. Playing the card I was dealt - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

ndubz · 02-01-2012, 02:04 AM

Ok so in a nutshell, the STi took a dump. It was driving weird and I took it in to have it checked out. They opened up the diff and all this metal came out with the fluid. The repair bill was more than my parents were willing to pay so they decided to trade it in on a lease for a car that would not be driven as hard, and be very cheap.

They got me the Prius V you see below

Obviously I am pissed, but I still have my miata, and I have decided to make lemonade out of lemons. I plan to throw some Volk TE37s (powdercoated green) on it with bags to slam it and hella stance. It may not be fast but it sure as hell will be unique.

My friend made this to give you a rough idea

So look for it at the Sonic meet and others a few months from now, and I'll start a build thread once there is something more to post.

SvicksTc · 02-01-2012, 02:24 AM

Bag and stance a lease, sounds about as dumb as that car looks...ever think of saving/working and buying your own car

Good luck brah

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

**Big_Jim** · 02-01-2012, 02:34 AM

I'd throw a light tint on it and call it a day.

I think I just found the very embodiment of first world problems.

You could likely find a used diff on NASIOC for $500 or less... but I guess its too late at this point. Should have asked for info before you made that move!
I wouldn't mod your Prius... it is what it is and you'll get some sweet gas mileage so just drive the thing and focus modding on your Miata or elsewhere, or hey you could just start stacking up your savings.

I did work at the Bucks County Courier Times once upon a time, but its been a couple years. Some days I think of how easy I had it there, but it was really going nowhere so I had to move on.

Besides what everyone's said already.

You had an STi and your parents paid for it(basing this on the fact that they wouldn't pay to have it fixed and traded it on a Prius).so they trade it in on a this Prius and you want to ruin that too? Id of been thrilled if my parents bought me a car (which they did,but it was a 94 escort.)

Id of been happy if my parents just bought me a damn moped. Throw a light tint on the car and be happy. Then when you had your own money,maybe your parents will let you trade it in on something you'd really like(hopefully its no an STi that you'll kill)
