KyloCrux wrote I love Subarus. Putting money into a car with that many miles can always be tricky but ultimately is up to you. I would do it if it were my car and I had the money. I'd drop a big turbo in it as well as a New exhaust. Once I have a loud nasty sounding car I'd put some 18inch rims on it. Tint the Windows. All set.

The bad part is, i have a 2.5L so i have equal length headers which with a catback would sound like a honda civic. I need unequal lenth headers and than more items. Its alot of money when you dont habe the right engine.

youd be better off getting rid of the granny Subaru and getting a different one rather than dumping a ton into this one and realizing what you just wasted. You'll never be satisfied with this thing, I can tell by the way you talk about it.

Agreed. Might as well buy a Sti down the road when i have the money.

Engine swap could work around that right?

And transmissions, they usually go before the engine

Also here's just a reference, saw this guy at a meet not to long ago. He basically just has coils, wheels (xxr 527), catback and front lip. I think it looks great.

The new legacy GTs are nasty.

You should try to swap the engine if you can before anything else..... but if you can't afford that I built a subie and I know a few things about it, what are you doing to it currently? I'm late on the post! I want an idea of what youre doing to it

Only for the engine lol. You still have the tranny, transfer case (if applicable), running gear, electrical, etc that still have the same amount of miles on them.

After having been through the needing to modify vehicles stage, I'll tell you straight up you're pissing money down the drain. Every single dollar you put into that vehicle, don't expect any part of it back when you sell it. I bought my truck for $5k, put another $15k into mods and preventative maintenance repairs I guess you could call it, and I sold it a couple months ago for $5,500. It was fun and I learned a lot but there are better places that money could've gone.

Do you have pics ? Love 2 see your truck
