Of course you can buy better cars to start with...but then if you end up modding it you spend more anyways. and besides...you probably would have to do suspension mods on the sti for it to handle as good as your modded wagon....and the Ra gears..
let me know if you sell and trade in....I need wagon suspension goodies..lol.
Did I mention that you wouldn't have a wagon.

I would love to do some mods to my Wagon, but I also do not want to have external ones that would attract the cops.

illusion... that would be pretty sick. I wouldn't mind one myself. The new legacy GT wagons are sick man. I love that freaking HUGE sunroof. I'd be into one if I had a family. Or even a forester XT. For some reason I like the interior of those better than the wrx. I think it's the pockets or something. haaa.
Acadian.... No joke on the cop note. That is why I'll never have a grapefruit shooter exhaust. I'll get a borla hush instead. But I do have a couple police pull me over visual mods. full tint...but it's light enough they don't bother me. I drove next to a cop for probably 15 miles today. They probably looked at me at least 10 times. Nothing. That and having no front plate on EVER.
But I figure...screw it...if they pull me over...I'll pay the $10. Nothing on my car can send me to the state ref. I've had the same window tint since 99 and nobody says jack. is light enough.
I think the most likely mod I'll ever have that will get me pulled over is my screen in the dash.
seems to me....I don't drive like an ***...for the most part. I don't have over the top mods, or loud exhaust. I'm white. (it seems to matter) and I drive a damn wagon.
The cops generally don't care about me. I've gotten on the freeway at over 90mph in front of police before..nothing.

Plus living in Milpitas, I see cops every 3 blocks!! I wouldn't mind doing some slight mods that would give me more lower end torque - like getting her chipped. But I know for a fact that the day I put an aftermarket exhaust on there I'll get pulled over - But I got to say, every time I hear the nice PURRRRRRRRR of a properly tunned WRX/STi I get wood

The STi doesn't have a cat in the uppipe though, only the mid, and downpipe.
The WRX has 3 cats, one in the uppipe, downpipe, and mid.
