New member, finding new hobby

Name's Zane. 32 years old and not getting any younger I might add. I guess I am new here. Been on for a couple months looking for a new project car once the subaru is sold. I just haven't been to conviced to buy an evo or stick with the subaru scene, but they are both wonderful cars. But I would like to thank those who read this and help me decide what project I should work on next. If you know anyone willing to give me a shot at buying their evo and if they are willing to ship it to Utah have them give me a buzz. Otherwise I'll just continue being a lurker and keeping my big mouth shut cause I don't say much. See ya buds.

Ditch the Subaru! Take it from an Ex 05 STI owner, the cars are night and day with the Evo being superior in almost every way. The only things I miss about my STI are the exhaust note and side profile of the car.

I aggree^^ I came from a Subaru as well.. I still have an 05 WRX as a DD but really there is no comparison as far as making power... if you do half the work to an EVO compared to what you did to the Subaru, you will be making good power.

I love my WRX but its sooo slow....

I am on my second EVO and will probably sell the Subie eventually. I need at least one practical car

Looks like you did a good amount of work to the Subie. Wait til you see how easy EVOs make power. Subies are a pain to work on to compared to EVOs.
