Default Your Thoughts On My Next Purchase...

I am looking to purchase a 1999+ Subaru 2.5RS. Then, it will undergo a complete transformation:

04-07 STI Complete Drive Train Kit

Included Parts

Complete Motor

Complete Harness

Ecu ( 05-06 Transponder w/ Key)

Fuel tank w/ Pump and Controller w/ all solenoid

Gas Pedal

Engine Cradle

Exhaust w/ 02 Sensors

Trans Kit

Included parts

Complete Trans

Drive Shaft

Trans mount w/ Sub Frame

Shafter Linkage

Front Axles

Fly Wheel w/ Clutch

DCCD Parts

Dash Kit

Included parts

STi Cluster

Complete Dash

Dash Beam

Brake Pedal, Brake booster & Clutch Cylinder w/ line

Heater box's w/ Controls

Complete center consol

Column w/ Steering Wheel ( NO air Bags)

Rear End Kit

Included parts

Complete Rear Sub Frame

Rear Diff w/ Axles

Rear Spindles

All Arms (Lat, trail and Sway Bar w/ Links)

ABS/ E Brake Cables

Sti Brembos

Included parts

All 4 Rotors

All 4 Calipers

Bolts, Brackets, and Hoses

Front Suspension

Included parts

Front Lower Arms

Both Front Spindles w/ Hubs

STi P/S Rack


I was curious.. Ive heard that if you dont swap out the RS trans with the STi one it will only last for a short perioud of time. This makes since considering the RS was never meant to push 300+AWDHP. However, why do they have the same problem with the regular 2.0 WRX trans? I know plenty of people that have those pushing well over the 350+ mark and they seem to be fine. Thanks

Haha, I spent way to much $ on my s2000 =*( I just want something AWD, I cant really enjoy the s2000 in the snow like I could a WRX.
