totally agreed - in fact, I don't know that I'll ever buy a brand new car. Maybe for the woman or something, lol.

When I say outright, I mean a great condition used car that I don't have to take a loan out for

Can "good condition" and "used Sti" even be used in the same sentence? I suppose Sti's can take a bit more of a beating than a reg Wrx but still.... either way hurry up and buy one man!

Once my interior looks like a limited, I'm done. I'll probably do body repairs, but thats not modding. The car is paid off, this will be my last modded car. I'll have the STI for a long time. In a year or two, I'll be getting a truck so I can use it for the house. The constant having problems is coming to an end soon.

The goal for my car is to get it race-prepped and somewhat competitive on a track. From then on it'll be more about improving me than my car. but once that's done, itll be on to desigining some aerodynamics for the car to see what works and how.

I'll be totally happy with 300 whp in a 2500 lb car.

It's never enough. I have no goals for the car, if I did, I would reach it and than make new goals!

I don't think I will ever be happy with my car till the day its done and it will be the same day it gets put up for sale for a new project.

-My brakes are done
-Suspension is 99% done, just need a few more Cusco bits.
-Interior is a long way from being done.
-I want to change up the exterior a little
-Motor, even though I'd love to go rotated, I don't see that happening for a long time, so I may just get an 09 WRX VF52 turbo w/ a few bolton and settle in the 305-310whp range.

I won't be done for a long time and I kinda like it like that because I like this car a lot and would hate to see it go.
