But... I thought I was buying a project car to void warranty's and give corvettes a run for their money sounds more fun. Being different and not driving the same damn car everyone else does around town is nice. Mustangs, Camaros, Corvettes are everywhere around my house and boy is that boring! 99.9% stock, leased driven BORING! Being that one person that doesn't just blend in and has something very different gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. I only have 2 window decals on my car and everything else looks stock. I also get those cocky Mustangs, Camaros & Vetts that pull up next to me wanting to do a rolling 30 and When I rip past them *Psht, Psht, Psht....* boy does their jaw drop at the next stop sign.
Only 1 draw back about the platform is it really doesn't have a back seat and my wife refuses to take the car because I have a 7 year old that needs to sit in the back all crushed and cramped. The cars paid off and I'm fighting not buying another vehicle for a daily driver. The non STI 2018 WRX Sport is killing me. has the FA20 engine and when I flex fuel kit the car does wonders like our twins. But excluding my wife's car, my Garage already houses my Jeep TJ my BRZ and I have no room for another Project. I want to build a 12.5:1 turbo engine so bad... Now that will give me a peace of mind. But it'll never end, some new upgrade will come out and one of our vendors will take my money. That's how it works :<

Look bro, you do what you want. We all have different tastes. But it annoys me when people say that this car is terrible stock or without a turbo kit, and it especially peeves me when someone (like OP) jumps into FI without considering the amount of changes he'll have to make to his car and then complains when something goes wrong. This was meant to be a small, affordable sports car, just like the Miata, so in my opinion, if you want to be able to compete with vettes and mustangs then you should've just bought a GTR or a Lotus.
I get the appeal of driving something unique (although it confuses me that you left your car bone-stock exterior despite that), and if you have the money to boost then by all means do it, but if you're gonna say that this car is boring without more power then you're no better than the mustang drivers that you see everyday.
