    hi all, hopefully a future subaru owner here. just wanted to stop in and check this place out at the recommendation of GTScoob. i've been a big wagon fan for a long time and my current daily driver is a yawn to drive at best, so the natural progression is to trade this thing in on a wrx wagon :) . i want a nice newer car that i can beat on a little, fill full of crap, and still be able to drive up north to visit my grandparents in the wintertime.... and maybe the occasional run down a dirt road for camping purposes.

    it would likely remain pretty stock due to being a daily driver, and i already have my "fast" car in the garage. the more i look the more i'm loving the 06/07's, but my price range dictates more of the 04/05 models. if anyone has any good buying info to share i'd surely appreciate it, sometimes i tend to get a bit excited about new toys and lose track of my bottom line... in this case i've got to find a great deal to really make it happen.

    anyhow, i hope to be joining the ranks soon. can't wait to get better than 15mpg :coolugh:

    93 nissan 240sx. nothing special unless you notice the exhaust note ;)

    i have tons of fun driving it, it's just not too practical on the street for anything other than "spirited" driving and i'm starting to grow up ;).

    VERY cool swap for a 240. Nice to see it's not the typical.

    it used to be the typical swap, 315whp SR20DET... but i've wanted to do one of these wild cross-platform swaps for a while and finally had the chance.


    thanks for the welcome everyone. i went to SOG last night and a leftover 06 black WRX wagon caught my eye, i'm going to see what i can work out on that. if not they have a couple nice 04/05's up there that i know i can afford.... but that 06 is just so sexy.

    haha, but you've got leather ;).


    mine has a lot of options on it though; fog lights, STi knob, 6 disc changer, catch-all mats and cargo area mat, i think it may have the upgraded stereo junk (minus the underseat sub), and best of all.... the trailer hitch :coolugh: .
