what you think about this good deal ? http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/ctd/2038546548.html
Depending on the mods, but I would never buy a car that was already modded, especially one like the STi, you dont know how hard its been run.
The add doesnt say what mods he did, and that would be something I would want to know up front. Also since its at a dealer, make him get a compression test.

I took a buddy for a ride in it on the weekend. He said he was done with Subaru's too, he said, man, my car never accelerated like this, and now hes going to get an older Subaru RS and do a STi swap in it. (They weigh about 200 lbs less than a current one).
He said the car didnt feel like it wasnt just pushing you back in your seat, it was squashing your heart in your chest.

Not sure what it did w/Stage2 and I am now on Stage4
I got to get tuned again after I put them 70mm intake and the waste gate so those will have to go on first.
Then I will take it to the track. I did just order an HD camera for the car so I can record from in the cab

Apparently I didnt get the modding bug out of my system:
Spent the day at Turn In Concepts and had the following installed.
Tic SST coilovers ($2k)
MSI trailing arms ($400)
Bushings: All of them on the back end. ($150)
DMS Motorsport camber plates ($450)
After a day of install and setup the car feels awesome! I think more of you guys need to get this setup.
Front camber -2.3 per side
toe 0
caster +6
Rear camber -2
toe 0
No more saggy butt!
I changed the exhaust too, it got too loud and I got tired of the noise, now its a little louder than stock but howls when you stand on it.
So pretty...
Coilovers
Trailing arms by MSI
I need to get my *** back to fixing my truck!
