It would be *far* cheaper to buy an STi, than to do a swap. However, since there's no such thing as an STi wagon, starting w/ a TS would be the right way to do it. If it were a 5MT, the swap would go easier and a bit cheaper, but since you're looking at probably $15k for the swap as it is, what's a couple hundred more, right?
The best part is that the car would still be insured as a TS wagon, so hello low rates! Just don't crash it, 'cause you'd only get paid out for an '02 TS wagon.
