a. fix miata, and hope nothing breaks....
b. buy newer car, with a much less chance of **** breaking
put almost nothing down on the subbie, and since my credit was soo good, i got a great rate and only pay 200 a month for a nice quick reliable car that seats 5

my roommate just bought his girlfriend (also my roommate) a 02 wrx sedan. looks identical to that.
I love subbys. If im not working on my miata i am swapping some type of subaru.
This was his last project:
Version 2 RHD WRX. started life as a FWD base model POS

Man I've wanted a subbie for so long. Prices are ridiculous right now. I keep seeing 06-07 wrx wagons with low miles in Houston in the 14-16 price range...holy ****! There's this 02 wagon in Austin for 8k I'm thinking about looking at...I would just have to use my DD miata as a trade in though...I just don't want to get raped on the trade in

Friend of mine moved from here to Idaho. He had a Miata that he was autoxing regularly. Car didn't make sense in Boise. Sold it and bought a WRX wagon. Intake, exhaust, underbody shielding/skid plates and now he does hill climbs and local rally stuff. Pretty cool that he actually uses it as it was meant to be.

I put one in this LGT (even though everyone on the subie forum said not to), and its been pretty solid thus far. Definitely makes spool up noise easily 3x louder, but with the Perrin exhaust it blends nicely. Between the intake/exhaust the car definitely has better response.
She said she's sick of me spending money on car parts. So i bought some E-codes instead
Her loss I suppose.

it makes spool 3x louder.
i dont believe it made the car any fast or slower,
only thing it did was make the idle droop a little on cold start,
but after about 3 sec it goes to normal
def makes the car more enjoyable to drive
tom i sell the mata, make 2-3k and buy uppipe, downpipe, cat back and a tune
ill let u guys know if it screws

Before I had to turn the radio down, keep the windows up, and put my head in the glovebox to barely even hear it spool. Now you cant avoid the sound if you wanted to. Whenever you are on the gas you hear that bitch. I'm sure it could be annoying for some, but I like it. It took her time to get used to it, but its been a couple months now and she hasn't asked me to take it off yet.
The cool thing is I got the K&N intake off the legacy forum's classified section for $100!

i got an injen knock off for 30 bucks off a friend and it brought this car to life.
i lightly roll onto the throttle, and with the music on, can hear the sucking air under the hood,
its great
ps, my cousin has a legacy gt limited, and his motor bay is 99% identical to mine, so i assume u hear the same sound i do
