Wow very similar! I was so scared it would break down on me so I got rid of it as fast as possible. Haha I don't mind. Everyone has their own opinion. Quote:
Thank you. I know I am not in bad financials, but I am a college kid who does not have a career/make enough money yet so I used that. I can't wait to start a mod thread.... Just need the cash first! |

Have fun with it man. Most on this board, including myself, made some questionable financial decisions when we were younger and it's generally ok.
I personally bought a 2002 WRX brand-new the day I graduated from college even though I was still working at Walgreens. Bought my first few mods on credit cards, etc. The thing is, over time you make more money and it makes it easier to pay for things in cash, not carry debt, etc. The faster you get to that point and mindset, the easier your life will be. Until then, though, enjoy your car and your bad decisions. Plenty of time to be responsible in the next 60 years of living. |

Awesome wrx! Have to say I'd love to have something like that and congrats on your hard work.
On the other hand I doubt you know what it is like to be truly poor. This is coming from someone who grew up with nothing, lived in homeless shelters when I was a kid, no heat or electricity in the winter, always hungry. Not hating, but maybe a bit of insight as to why someone may give you some crap when you claim to be poor. |

Good luck with the car. You sound like your head is screwed on straight, my advice is if you want to mod the car, start with suspension upgrades. You don't have to have loads of power to make the car fun to drive. Sway bars and endlinks are a great start. Get every bushing there is. Most bushings are cheap and sway bars won't set you back much. You start looking for power and god forbid something happens, most likely, your warranty isn't going to help. Also motor builds aren't cheap. my $0.02

Its easy to see why people would be offended by him stating he is "poor".
so those getting defensive need to lay off. |

Yeah I need to look more into bushings and suspension in general. I haven't studied this area to much. While in warranty, I really am not scared to mess with suspension because they really have no excuse not to replace something engine-related if all I have done is suspension, wheels, and even brakes. Thank you! Quote:
haha thanks bud. Thank you!! Yeah I really like the black on dgm. I think subtle red hints will be really nice. (Hellas, Brakes, Logos on mudflaps) |

Damn if you're poor, I must be in poverty! Haha. No I'm just kidding. Props to you on the new car though. I kinda did the same thing since we're both the same age. Sold my S2000 and picked up a 02 wrx.. Not a new 2013 but I guess a subaru is a subaru. Can't wait to see what you have in store for it!

OP sounds like you have got a good head on your shoulders and your car payment probably is extremely reasonable. Good advice about the bushings and suspension as good first mods. The first mod I recommend anybody getting into the Subaru world and wants to learn how to turn wrenches to (if your wanting to do your own work) is getting a kart boy short shifter and bushings kit. Extremely easy to instal, removes the slop out of the shifter completely. Everyone of my friends to do this has been extremely pleased with it. Plus it runs under 200 bucks for the whole kit. Congrats and welcome. Remember, it's about the journey of modding the car not the finished result.

Nice car! I'm a college student as well, saved up and bought an 02 wrx, just recently sold to get something with a bit more power, like 250 more horses. Keep the car clean and no one will hate on you!

Congrats! Nice suby and nice mod plans! I myself saved up and bought a 2002 Lexus IS300 my junior year of high school and just recently sold it to buy my 2003 WRX. I am 19 and attend the University of Pittsburgh.
