But to be honest... with $500/month extra... you're better off just going out and getting an STi while your WRX is still worth good money. It will probably take most of that $500/month between payment and insurance to get one, but you can't make your WRX as fast as a stock STi for $500 monthly anytime soon. In fact, if you drop $500 a month on your car... in two years you will have spent $12,000 and be almost as fast as a stock STi.  |
I tried to get an STI along with a 07 WRX after getting shot down and the payment and insurance were an ungodly amount because I had an Identity Theft a few years back, that's why I went with the 05 WRX (Plus it is my favorite body style). They put so much crap on my credit that my score went from a 750 to about a high 400 to a very low 500 so I am already paying way too much for the WRX. Tried writing letters, police reports, etc, with little to no help. Considering I drove a 1998 S10 truck before this that I've owned for about 4 years, my insurance skyrocketed also. The Access Port is definitely very high on the parts to buy list though and will not be the last part I buy FOR SURE. Thanks for the advice on getting parts that Cobb has maps for! Do you happen to know where to figure out which parts they do make maps for so I don't make the mistake of buying the wrong stuff until I can afford to get it custom tuned down the road?! Thanks again.
