Look at how many STI owners smoked their shortblock.. probably the same with WRX owners popping transmissions anymore.

No offense to STI owners, but they do not impress me. I'll take a stage4 bugeye over one. (unless its an 06 STI drool)
you want a real reliable car that will smoke an STI for less???

Swap a GC body and be done with it. Cheap insurance and is fast.
I'm with ryan... buy a gc and SWAP! and when u go to get the swap done... take it to ryan or u get :banned:. :mrgreen:

Including the price of the car all my mods, I'm at about $23k, and I couldnt be happier... well I could, but that invloves like another $5k, but thats another story.

I will also agree with Ryan, My car is possibly making 300-325 and yes I have a few broken trannies but they are all self inflicted due to me total disregard to the transmission and racing lol. But at 56k I have had zero problems with my car. I personally dont count the tranny as a shortcoming because its a weak link when you beat on it not if you drive it normal and clutch good when you open it up.

long story short, My car is making more than stg2 STi whp and has no problems at 56k miles.

i have about 110-115k on my 02. only problem i've every had was blowing the transmission.
But honestly I don't know if i would buy another. But thats also due to my priorities changing.

IF it was up to me to remake my descion I would have bought an STi,

$17k and you can have my car! 56k and runs and looks clean ( New Tires, Must sell!!!)

grimm 09-16-2008 10:53 AM
you can have mine for $10k (negotiable) :P
