Suggestions on engine/other stuff
I own a 03 2.5RS and I recently learned to drive a manual pretty well working at a car dealership as a detailer. Now to the question, would it be better if I sold my car and bought a new WRX which i hate *the looks*....Or convert the new engine and transmission or just change the transmission, I saw LIC do the old 2.5RS. And I am not made totally outta money and I hope this won't cost more then what the car is actually worth. What would you do?

if comparing 03 wrx vs gc8 (only with wrx 'engine' swap)... the gc8-wrx swap would be cheaper by a few hundred bucks... unless u bought like a 2001 rs... like me.
and YEAH DAMN COOLER....
