I would do it again. Mainly because I just enjoy wrenching in my car especially since they’re known to be slow so I like to keep a sleeper look

I'm thinking the same. Maybe get a used sc just for a little more oomph. I'm getting lazy and don't like having to rev the noisy little sawmill every time I want to pass an suv.

enthusiasts struggle to recognize that paper specs, dyno sheets, lap times, etc never really translates or correlates to driving enjoyment...if anything, going for those things makes it worse..

If I wanted a 300hp car, I would have bought a 300hp car, not a 160hp car. Modding for big power gains makes sense with some cars a lot more than others, and the twins are not one of them. Don't get me wrong, the IDEA of a factory WRX style powertrain is exciting, but for what it costs to do the right way, I'd just as soon go a different direction.

This^^^ The real difference is how the powerband and gearing are sorted. The turbo SURGES IN and the AWD hook so it feels like you're a rocket. Exhaust noise, the RPMs rising rapidly and other sensory things contribute to this feeling as well. It's all trickery, I tell you!!!!!

I would do it again for sure, however, I miss the peace of mind that comes with N/A. I say that coming from never having an issue 30k miles boosted. N/A with ITBs is sounding more and more inciting...

But really, don't forget the awesome interior space for how small the car is. I can stuff so much crap in here its ridiculous. Funny, I haven't thought this car looked like a sleeper but I realize that it is known to be a slow car people don't anticipate it when it has some FI.
