I have the PTuning.com sticker on the back bumper still, didn't want to run the giant logo down the side.
And I can't run a splitter for a few reasons. TT's HORRIBLE pipe routing prevents running a splitter without cutting massive holes into it and I wouldn't be able to get into my driveway. My lip comes within 1/2" to my driveway everytime I back out/drive in, so a splitter would definitely hit every time.

I don't feel like going over it all again, it's all in my progress thread. Basically, I've always wanted a WRX and right now where I stand, I can decrease my debt, lower insurance cost, have a more practical car and have something that I can actually use year round. I don't have the luxury of living somewhere that's 80+ year round. We get this slippery stuff called snow up here

AWD > 1WD. The tC is a deadend. Where I stand right now, I'll need an LSD, coilovers and brakes just to compete in my class for AutoX. That's $4000 that I'm not willing to dish out for this car. $4,000 in a WRX puts me at the same power, better suspension, better brakes, AWD, etc. The WRX is just so much more practical than my 2-seater, FWD, 1-tire fire tC.

so a stock wrx will be competive or do you need to spend 4k to make it competitive? (SP)
because i like wrx's but being its factory boosted you may catch a old lady at the light next to you thats just as fast!
At least if i pull up to another tc at the light.. i can beat that old lady!
Just there more involved in making the tc fast but thats what makes it what it is!

Remember, I'm comparing it to my tC. I'm on a decent suspension setup (TRD springs and rear sway), with decent tires and ~300HP. The only place my tC has an advantage is on the highway going in a straight line.
And if you pull up to an old lady in an equally modded WRX/STi (equal to yours $-wise), you're going to get brutally spanked lol.
