Keeping the scoob
So after driving the RX-7 for a week or so, I realized that the RX-7 is freaking awesome....as a weekend car. Daily driven RX-7 = no good. It eats up the fuel and with the way gas prices are...ummm yeeeaaah keeping the subaru. So just thought I would let the people on the board know, I am here to stay. The good thing that came out of the RX-7 for me is that I realized how freaking slow my WRX is and I am getting a turbo upgrade and tune soooooon!!!!!!!!!!!
Looking forward to being a post ***** as usual!
Wahoo!

I think you should sell both your cars and get an z06. Or an STI/evo.
Honestly, face it - you have two vehicles which are at best mediocre by today's standards. I love the rx7, but this car was top of the line what, 15 years ago? Neither your rx7 nor wrx will ever be fast in acceleration/handling/braking by modern standards, without a substantial investment.
I considered the nostalgia of a highly modified kill-all rx7 at one point, but when all the budgeting was planned out I sat back and realized - wait I should just buy a Viper for that money.

Well thanks guys, and yes the RX-7 is for sale:

Her is the plan for the WRX:
New turbo - not sure what (I want 325whp, what should I get?)
New Intercooler
Injectors
Fuel Pump
Cobb Access port and tune
Coil overs
Rota wheels
And that should make me happy for a while
