K i'll definitely look at a 05,Do you know if there will be any changes for the 06 models?...And i guess the "used rule" that applies for the Evo/Srt-4 includeds the Sti Used=Abused

Also-last question i promise ...Are mods really expensive?..and is the car easy to work on ...i dont wanna drive a stock car for very long

Yeah nothing I think compares for the bang for the buck for a skittle, but Sti's arent too expensive to modify. Also I don't believe there will be any changes in the 06 model but many many changes in the 07 model (completely different look, more horsepower etc...) First mods I think for a Sti would be some kind of engine management Ecutek, Utec, or Accessort $600-$1000 probably 30-40 h.p increase. Then turboback exhaust which is downpipe+catback $500-$1100.

They're very easy to work on. They're born from the need to make repairs on a rally course.

Get an 05. If I am not mistaken the 2006+ models are switching to some new OBDII protocol called "CAN" and it's going to be a clusterfuck.
