Well i've been wanting a subaru forever now and have been looking around forever, debating on a Wrx or a Legacy 2.5 GT.

Its got a few mods to it and I have a couple in mind, nothing to crazy (wheels, lip, HID's, tint, and a mines replica spoiler). Still have the honda that i'm gonna use for my daily to drive back and forth to work with.

I'm fairly certain with those mods you'd destroy a stock STi. Just get you a 6sp now ;)

abd yes, i should have no promblem walking all over stock STi's, as long as the tranny does blow up on me. Thats my biggest fear. I'm definately keeping my eyes peeled for any 6 spd's that may come up for sale.
