That's about it for failures though. The turbo inlet pipe was my fault. I've autocrossed it for 5 years. I got 2nd place in PAX last year and sometimes I even beat similarly moded STi's in raw time (that's a new development as of last year though).
Love everything about my car including the gas milage. 2.0 L FTW. Make sure you get one manufactured in late 2002 (MY 03) or after so you get the stronger gears.
I've had the following suspension setups and though my current one is the best with regard to comfort and performance, they were all great.
1st Eibach Prokit Springs (wagon specific FWIW (nothing)) with KYB AGX struts - Ok
2nd Crucial Springs with KYB AGX struts - noticeably better
3rd Crucial Springs with Koni Yellow inserts in wagon doner struts - the best

This is honestly exactly what I want to hear. Thanks for a good post mang.
So your saying that 2.5 v 2.0 it would work better to have the 2.0 for DD duty?
