What I bought instead:
 

Well, I was thinking about trading my STI for a BRZ, but I realized that, for a couple of reasons, I didn't want to. Primarily because buying a new car isn't a solid financial decision for me, since I don't care much about a warranty. But also because I never really fell in love with the idea of driving an N/A flat mtor.

So, this weekend I ended up trading my older car for something, well, a little older.

good choice, good attention to detail on the engine bay. what LS engine is that?

It's a forged, 383 LS6 with a mild cam and exhaust. :]

it must sound beastly when you start it, i wish could get something like this.

It certainly doesn't sound like a wankel. LSX FC's are getting much cheaper, and they are some relatively affordable swapped FD's, too. NOROTORS.com

Sexy FD + no fairy triangles = so much win.

That car is so worth!!! I'm jealous.

Beautiful. I've always loved FD.

Very nice. You should post more pics. :thumbup:

It's a beautiful car, but those V-8 swaps always make me a little sad; the Wankel is such a neat engine.

Now that is a worthy car! Great lines, big power, relatively lightweight. Good choice!:thumbup:

Rotary motors are interesting, but, at this point, I think would rather have a big V8. I hated big V motors growing up, but that hatred was mostly unfounded, since at the time I had never actually driven a LSX car. MOAR PIKSHURZ AT TOP

This car looks like you paid a lot for it.

That's one of the slickest FD's I've ever seen... lucky man.
