So, its time for me to narrow down what my next project will be. I cant decide what to do, seeing as there are so many cool things to do! My goal is to swap the motor, 04 wagon front end swap (with PSM paint to match, the back half of the car is getting paint now), and 6spd. As is, the WRX is in great shape. The motor is good, the tranny is good, I've got coils&other suspension parts, so I can't decide.

So I come to you, my wagon friends. What would you do with a budget of, lets say $5,000, to an 02 WRX wagon?

Also, other recommendations are welcome. It's just a daily driver, so 350whp will be plenty.

Hmmmm, you would be surprised as to how fast $5k will be spent. It really depends on what you want to do with the car. I would recommend the technical forums, lots of good info there. The money will last you a bit longer if you do most of the work yourself. Good luck, keep us posted!

Yeah, it certainly does! These are future plans, so I've just been lurking around gathering bits of info.

Basically, I want to revamp my bugeye. Sure, it runs like a champ and is reliable as can be. However, I'd like to bring it up to speed so to speak.

Maybe a full EJ207 would be nice, but I've got a lot more to research. If I do a motor/tranny swap I'll probably gather parts for a year and then have them professionally installed.

Based on where I move, I plan on upgrading to ewg, possibly a different turbo, and then a fresh tune obviously.

Like I said, I'm just fishing for ideas. I have too many goals for this car, it's hard to pick and choose where to start.

That's awesome!

[skatin707]

Holy crap where did you get that? DO WANT!

[ryun84]

I'd rock the sticker. Except for the fact that Prius owners would probably key my car. Some of them are pretty vicious.

I always purposely drive next to them to give people behind us lolz, or drive in front of priuses. Some of the owners giggle, most of them give me the bird along with dirty looks.

I need new paint anyway lol. They are pretty vicious though, I've seen them do odd things.

There is were my old collage roommate come in "Roberts Rules of Retaliation"
They yell at you... you give them a flying bitch slap
they key you car... you take our all of there windows with a bat.
They call the cops you run then follow them home and burn down there house
They come out and girly slap you in the face... You find the Prius plant and fire bomb it.

You might mess with Rob but not more then once or twice.

That's because the majority of Prius owners are smug ********. I've only met one or two Prius owners out of many that I didn't want to slam their head into their beloved Prius.

I laughed.

Since none of us in "the wagon thread" have trunks, yes this is the wrong forum...

But if you are wingless post up in your local boards asking for a trunk swap. Its way easier then drilling into your trunk w/ no holes...and is generally free or a $50-$100 on top depending upon the user.
