Nasioc.com is one of the best subaru enthusiast forums.
There are no issues at all with the wrx when its kept stock/close to stock.
The only thing is the gearbox doesn't hold well past 330wtq which is around 110 more than stock.Gearbox upgrades are costly also.My RA's cost me around 1900 shipped and another 700 to remove the tranny and get them installed.
The only other thing is that you HAVE to get a tune after every mod.Re-setting the ecu only does so much.I'm in dire need of a tune right now.
If you need any more info on the wrx just shoot me a pm.I'd be glad to help.
