^^ haha Still looking at it! but, it is still the high km's that's a bit scary, especially on a turbo car

if comparing an 03 sti bugeye, to an 04 wrx, is the STI still going to be better in every way than the WRX?
is the 6 speed way better than the 5 speed? or is strength and ratio's pretty similar
Is it cheap to set up an intercooler water spray on a wrx? does it make a good difference to have?
Is wrx suspension much worse than STI suspension?
And finally, breaks, are the Brembos HEAPS better than wrx breakes?

Cheers for any answers!

STI is better all round. You might not really understand now but you will later, by which case you'll bang your head against the wall thinking "well turns out, they were right and i should have gone for the STi".

Trust us when we say the STI is better. You don't have to buy master_D's car, but it's a vehicle most people in this community can vouch for as opposed to a white bugeye with a respray and a cluster swap..

Everything about the STi is better!
Better engine, better turbo, better gearbox, better diffs, better brakes, better interior.

Remember, from the factory standard the STi was $56k.
The stock wrx is still 40k.

Gearbox - 6 speed is stronger
Intercooler spray - Not to expensive. I think having it in our climate is worth it.
Suspension - STI suspension is better.
Brakes - I dont have Brembos and my car stops fine. Good pads and good discs. But the prevailing opinion is that Brembos are the better option.

With the 6 speed being stronger, is it quicker because its a 6 speed? and also, what sort of power will the 5 speed manual take without a problem? i doubt i would ever hit 300 HP to all four's in whatever Subi i do get, so, the 6 speed could be overkill, and the motor in the WRX may be fine as it is? Theres just a few newer WRX's that i like, in a good price range, couple of 2006 WRX's and an 04 WRX in their famous blue
