T's Suby Wagon ongoings...
Here I am in my third Subaru. I have owned a '99 2.5RS, '05 STi (don't ask why I had to sell, just know that it was a good thing), and now I have an '02 WRX wagon. I am honestly loving the wagon and cannot wait to see how it all goes with her.

The exhaust that I put on:

At the drive-in (not really a project type pic, but a fun one):

And now, here are the plans:
At first I was thinking the normal stuff: tbe, uppipe, turbo upgrade, tune, suspension, etc. Then, I read about how there was an actual STi Wagon that was a Version 7. Well, after that I pretty much wanted to go down that route, getting a V7 drivetrain swap, V7 wagon struts, swift springs, and other suspension and exterior goodies. That is the path that I am on right now. I am currently saving for the V7 swap, which I hope to have done by Christmas. Between now and xmas, I have put myself on a budget that will allow me to do one suspension/exterior mod every other month. So, my current goal is to have the wagon up to standards by Christmas so that I can she can be STi badge worthy!
Oh, and I want to buy wheels some time. I can already feel my wallet shrinking.

Well....a deer hit me this weekend, so things have been put off. I guess this will allow me to do more research on what I want to do for power. V7? Block swap? Who knows.

Alright so it has been a long time, but it is getting warm finally, and I am getting the modding bug. With the way I have been buying things, the wagon is going to turn more into a budget project. Hopefully, down the line I will be able to throw some real money into the car and do exactly what I want to, but for now I am just going to have to be a little cheap.
Here is what's on the car as of now:
Invidia G200 TBE
JDM STi Front Grill
18x7.5 5Zigen GN+ Wheels
225/40/18 Kumho Tires
STi Black Floor Mats
What I have coming in:
TurboXS TMIC
Forced Performance 18G (water and oil cooled)
Prodrive Springs
I am currently searching for a set of injectors, fuel pump and maybe some other supporting mods for the 18G setup. I am also researching the possibility of going EWG. I am thinking about getting an LNR lip and STi hood scoop to complete the exterior, but I will have to see how much I have left over after the 18G supporting mods and tuning.
I would post pics of how the car looks now, but I want to get the springs on first because I hate having the wheel gap. As soon as the parts start coming in, there will be some teaser pics up.
