Finally got a turbo and even an AWD conversion!
Also a new paint job and some extra doors..my tC looks a lot like a new WRX now..lol jk
Traded in the tC yesterday to get her. I got lucky that they were able to find me one in the area. I thought for sure I would have to order one since I had a hell of a time locating a blue base 5dr.
A little sad the tC is gone but this thing is so much fun and I've wanted a WRX since I was 16 so it's nice to achieve a dream :D
No real plans for it as of yet. Car is perfect as is IMO

Thanks guys! I definitely love this car. I test drove a bunch of cars and read up on even more before deciding on this one. I've been test driving for a long time.
Evo X
370z
S2000
Genesis Coupe
Mustange GT
Legacy GT (the new one)
Forester XT
Probably some I left out but those were the ones I at least drove.
Now my rx7 build is going to go even slower but oh well
from this morning..yup thats my fc in the background

subis are nice specially in snow, and here in the NE USA is a great car to have, I been looking at Legacy GTs but they are a bit over my price range...but they are great cars and lots of potential

Welcome to the AWD Turbo club. I bought an Evo X last year and told myself I wouldn't mod it, now here I am about $7,000 later. Went to the Subaru dealership so a friend of mine could look at a new STi and the salesmen were giving me hell for driving the Mitsubishi onto their lot. I told them I thought the Evo would burst into flames as soon as the tires hit the parking lot.
I think subaru hit the ball out of the park with the new 2011 WRX. Much better then the 08,09, 10's, IMO.

I highly doubt I will mod this car anytime soon tbh..it's kind of nice having something that's quiet to drive and doesn't make me cringe every time I approach a bump in the road lol I have my rx7 for when I feel like dealing with that
Awesome pick up on the Evo X as well. Pretty lame of the Subie dealership to give you hell. The one I went to one of the employees drives an Evo X hah
Took a couple more pics and thought I would share
my grandmothers 06 XRS in the background
still rockin the scionlife lanyard on my keys haha

Just a heads up - (hopefully I don't regret this lol) since I didn't part out the tC I have some stock parts that I am going to be putting up for sale once my family and I are done moving, so if you're interested keep an eye out for a FS thread.
