An sti would be awesome, but the feeling you get when cream an evo with a wagon thats 15yrs old is better. =)

Hey Brad,

Take it from a guy that has both an sti and a ss. The ss is a lot more fun to drive around and is more practical. I love my sti more then the ss but i cant drive it everywhere like i do the ss because i got so much money invested in it. I worry about it getting stolen,vandalized etc.Why don't you finish the ss and after you do that stis will be even cheaper to purchase and buy and sti when the time is right. In my opinion you got some time and money in the ss and it would be sweat to do the swap.

I agree Kimo but you don't have to be rich to own one...my bro has a pretty sweet 05 STi...

Thanks D, I do agree with you. I know it would be something not a lot of people have and it would def give me more satisfaction out of smokin' people in the wagon compared to a car that is "supposed" to be fast.

I want to finish my project. I think it would be sweeter like you say.

How is the STi coming along?

I would actually be in a reversed position. I've got so much money and time invested in the Legacy that I woudln't want to drive it everywhere. Yet if I bought an STi I likely wouldn't care since it would be mostly stock.

It's a double edged sword, no matter what you buy you are probably going to mod it and be worried about it constantly. The only reason I like my Impreza better than starting with a SS or anything older is the safety of the newer chassis.

Took some pictures of the Subaru Armada today - minus the 94 FWD since I don't want to move it with the blown head gaskets.

Acquired Subaru-Nation 555's '94 SS last night...

On my way to buy Subaru-Nation 555's '94 SS, I took my brother's newly painted '05 STi back to him. Pictures do not do it justice, but here is one to show you guys...

Thanks Kimo...it is sexy, I agree! I was thinking about black wheels for it, but I'm trying to figure out what to get. Any ideas?

Worked on the '94 FWD this afternoon before it started raining and I went ahead and took advantage of all the Subaru's together...

Very nice so far. Don't worry, I tore apart my first Subaru engine last year when I was 17, and hardly knew what I was doing. But when I dropped my engine in everything ran good. It was a lot of fun and you learn a lot. I hope to get my hands on an EJ22T soon, but with school and work, I don't think it's going to happen. Plus my dad says if I bring another 1st generation legacy home he says I have to work on it in the street because he is sick of seeing them.

Went ahead and did the "electrical tape mod." LOL

It did make a difference in how it looks. It was well worth 10 minutes to do...

Now find some unchipped trim for the roof line, tint your windows and find some white door handles from a 92-94 and it'll look sick.
