Default Subaru Owners,I need your Assistance...

Im currently on deployment and when I return,I plan on getting an 04-05 WRX.My mind is pretty much made up,but I just need to get some more information.Ive been doing research here and there,but I figure I could get info from owners and their personal experiences.


Basically,I want to build around 300-350 awhp.Nothing too serious,just something to run mid low 12's,but still be majorly streetable.Whats the pro's and cons of owning one,and what are the best initial mods to do to the car upon buying one?

Thanks. Also,if anyone has any extra input (topic related),feel free,im all about learning,and getting more knowledge and information.

Be very very gentle. AWD is way different than FWD or RWD.

ppg tranny, 20g, tbe, em, and a good tune with of course the supporting mods and you are looking at a pretty reliable 300-330ish whp suby.

I would highly recommend getting a tranny first, thats what I did and it worked out very well.

I agree on the tranny. The stock units don't hold crap and you will just break it.
