Bill- I had a '95 9000 Aero...what a car! And Italians are on my list...watching, waiting, biding my time (and getting two kids through college first!)
Great car! Fair warning on Eye-tallian cars… they are magic during the 30% running time. (J/K) I have never owned one that I regret, but I go in eyes open. How ‘bout a 30K life timing belt?Bill- I had a '95 9000 Aero...what a car! And Italians are on my list...watching, waiting, biding my time (and getting two kids through college first!)
I have a 2007 Subaru WRX Wagon that I had a full sedan wide body conversion, and SAAB 9-2X rear "clip" conversion on. Of course, once I got it back from the body shop (2 years later), and noticed a lot of things wrong, I am debating just selling it, or put some more money into it, and make it what I intended.
Such a sweet ride though.
I had a 2009 WRX, but upgraded from that to a 2005 Forester XT.
That car was my dream and I miss it every day.
That said? Don't count on a Subaru motor to last Honda miles. I've seen far too many blown turbo Subaru motors.

I abuse the living daylights out of my 07 WRX, and it hasn't failed me yet, I keep it full of good oil, and do maintenance as needed.
Back before the recession took all the easy upgrade money away, I did Ecutek tuning, Subaru motors only break if they are pushed over 20psi with stock head studs. We had traded in WRXs with Prodrive kits we did, 20 psi with 175k and 240k on original motors. STI motors doing 400 at the wheels, same. It’s about staying inside the mechanical limits. Your motors are only as good as the tuner and the safety functions of the ecu being left in place. Forester XT is a great sleeper.
