Yeah, I kinda figured that, but the scarcity of an affordable Legacy in my area led me to a DSM, and I'm enjoying it so far (knock on wood). This BBS however, keeps me coming back for more

Getting back to the original topic, there are always the Celica Alltracs/ GT-4s. I heard you lucky guys in the states get them, along with the GVR4s and the EVOs.

Rish

Doesnt everyone remember she has a Legacy? No need for another subaru.

LaureltheQueen: I seriously doubt your car is going to blow up all of a sudden. In fact Ive been driving my beater with:
a blown head gasket (coolant erupts from the overflow when driven hard)
Leaking a quart of oil every 800 miles
Smoking at stop lights
Original spark plug wires
Nearly zero differential fluid
Rotors that look like a cheese grater

And much more for 20k miles, and I drive the thing hard (95+ every single day, many full throttle runs with 8-900 or so pounds of passengers).

Even if the legacy did somehow self destruct what stops you from dropping a used engine would be cheap. You dont even need to replace any parts on it (except maybe valve cover gaskets).

MIATA

if i do a swap into my car, it'll be a ej22t, and what it would cost me to get that engine in, as well as get the car up to par on the outside would be just over the cost of a newer turbo legacy. I dont want a hoopty, you have to keep in mind that this is my only car. It has 212k miles on it, and it shows, every panel on my body has at least a ding, most have scratches or rather large dents. Every time i go over a bump it squeaks because my chassis isnt rigid enough, my engine randomly dies at stop signs and shifting from reverse to drive. I want a decent car that is PRACTICAL and fun to drive. A miata, although it has oodles of trunk space is not practical

Why would you refuse to swap another non-turbo engine in better shape into your car? You could pick one up for peanuts and it would only take a day to swap it in. You would probably rent a crane, and that's about it...

why would i spend money on my n/a subaru when my ultimate goal is more power?

It'd be cheaper than any other option we've discussed in this thread and give you time to save up for what you really want.

What he said.

If you got people to help you could swap a new engine into your car for maybe 250$?

Keep Ruby, she's been good to you...

Just thought of something
"spend money on my n/a subaru when my ultimate goal is more power?"

Why would you spend money on a CRX then? If you just need a cheap car there are far better choices in terms of both price and practicality!
For example http://www.craigslist.org/eby/car/27273589.html
30+ MPG, 88k Miles, Original owner 1400$ OBO. Thats not an uncommon deal either
Sounds to me like you dont know what you want

you love those tercels eh

I prefer the old Corollas myself. My sister's idiot lesbian junked her '88 GTS because it needed a clutch. The car was fine otherwise and though she spends huge amounts of money to feed herslef going out all the time I find it hard to believe she couldn't scrape a little cash together for a clutch and just bring it down to the Voc and have some kid do it dirt cheap. Now she takes my sister's new 2001 Outback everywhere and still doesn't have a car over a year later. [head shaking smiley]
