    well not really.
    Just picked up an '04 Forester XT with about 32k on it. Id been looking for a nice 'grocery getter' since some guy pulled out in front of me and totaled my last ride, which is not worth mentioning.
    I was in the tuner scene back before I moved to Atlanta with an '01 DSM Galant VR4, with a list of mods too long to list. Before that I didnt own anything you coulding drop a small-block chevy into. Another list entirely too long.
    Ive got a buddy with a WRX wagon and he'd pointed this site out.
    I dont have any plans to do too much to this one, I just wanna see whats available and cool tricks, as all my money goes towards my real hobby. Dont worry it still involves me screaming past the 100 mph mark, just not with gasoline.

    I hate to tell you, but you bought the wrong car (SUV?)! You're in hot water my friend... That thing has soooo many tricks and cheapish mods you can buy for it you're not going to be able to afford food. You just about have a STi Wagon (SUV?) with WRX parts on it. That's my next car (SUV?) myself! You can get the STi turbo, intercooler, fuel injectors, and turbo back exhaust and add about 150HP (<- is that right?). And that's not even the beginning. If you want to go cheap, buy the used stock parts off one of these guys that's going big with their STi.

    PS- If you want a Sonic bugeye WRX, I'll trade you. :sx:

    I bought the FXT for a couple reasons.
    1. I need a place for all my gear, that is inside from the weather.
    2. If youre gonna have a small wagon, it better be fast.
    3. Hood scoops add points to your guy card, double bonus if it functions. :cool:
    4. With a couple grand woth of used STI parts, I can be faster than a stock STI! :fawk:


    You can have your bugeye, I'll keep my FXT! :hsnono:
