Go Bullshit the honda guys about your HP...

 

Yeah that's the one I'm talking about. They run low 14's stock. With 3k in mods you're running low 13's. My roommate has a Legacy GT and he made 270whp on 91 octane and a 110 degree day. He has a turbo-back, lightweight pulley, perrin tmic, intake and a tune. Those engines have quite a bit of potential.

I don't really want to pay the costs of owning 2 cars though. We already have 4 cars at the house we're renting anyways and another 1 would just add to the crowd.

 

Here's the Forester I've been thinking about buying... but I'm waiting on another commission check so I can just pay cash if I decide to get it. He's looking for $18,000.

The car was just retuned on 103 octane race gas and made 411 whp and 400 ft-lbs. Car makes 334 whp and 320 ft-lbs on a conservative pump gas tune.



Car has 32K miles on it, probably only about 5k in the last year. I used to commute 50 miles round trip the first 2 years of ownership.

Clear Bra and tint all around.

OEM trailer hitch.

Problems/defects - there are a few small dings in the typical Subaru paint. The tint on the front doors is slightly lifting around the bottom corner. Since the tint is 20%, the tint might need to come off anyway to pass inspection in the buyers state. I can probably get it replace under warranty but will wait until a buyer decides.
The hood piece on the clear bra has a very slight curling on the edge by the hood.
The wheels have some curb rash.
I no longer have most of the stock parts, including the spare, as the audio stuff is in the wheel well.

Things that will be thrown in that aren't on the car(stock parts, extras)
New front bumper cover for TMIC
Rear H4 brake upgrade
Stock air box
Stock catback - don't have downpipe
Extra Racing Sparco wheel.

Is it bad i really like that? If you need something bigger, i say do it.

 

I'm sorry, but that thing is hideous. There's no doubt in my mind-- stick with your TT or get another lower-mileage one.

 

Hence my dilemna. I don't NEED a bigger car, but sometimes it would be nice to have a little extra room. It's really not that big. A little bit bigger than an Impreza wagon.

I'd need to get it retuned though. We have shitty 91 octane in AZ and that car is tuned for 93. There's a couple stations around town that have 93 but that would be a pain in the ***.

 

Getting a lower mileage TT has crossed my mind too. This one has been fairly reliable though so far so I think I'd be fine tuning it.

 

If you buy another TT your going to be out on some money that you could of just spent ungrading the car to better parts that would negate some of the current mileage.

 

Right.

So maybe I'll just say screw it and hand my car over to Evolution Motorspots and hope for the best. Only bad thing is I'd need a beater for the month or so that they'd have it.

 

You caught that too huh? I was wondering the same thing because in the thread he just posted the other dayhe stated he only had an exhaust and was looking for advice on intakes.
