    After a long time of searching.. Way too long it seems like. I finally found a nice wagon to settle with.
    Current mileage is roughly 126,000
    Completely stock minus my summerish wheels

    Future list:
    Wheels: Rota Grids (*maybe*) unless I find some cool ones I can't pass up
    Tires: Unknown
    Coilovers somewhere down a short road
    JDM hoodscoop
    Yakima ski/bike rack
    Engine:
    E85 tune
    3" downpipe
    Turbo/catback exhuast
    Deatschwerks 330 injectors
    gm bcs boost solenoid
    As of now those are the plans.. we'll see where it goes!

    Minor dings here and there but nothing extreme. The front bumper's paint if coming off from.. well my guess is a pressure washer that got a bit excited. So I am looking for a new one of those or someone who would be willing to paint it for cheap :)
    Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

    Dan

    Nice car. I would not get E85 with stock td04 and you would need bigger than 330cc injectors :).

    Okay, good to know! How big of a turbo would you say to go? Also would 660cc be a better bet?

    Stock injectors are like 440cc
    You can toss in some stock 06wrx+/07+sti injectors and a fuel pump for e85 on the td04.
    BTW, those injectors are 565cc dark blue top feeds.

    Is tdo4 worth of E85 upgrade? I see if you are going bigger later but if it's just stage 2 would you do it?

    Guys who don't want a turbo upgrade but want that extra kick, it'd be fine.

    Mr. Tracey, I shall listen to Nuke and get in contact with him come this summer. What parts do you have that I'm going to be in need of? I need to start making a list. Also.. we should all take a trip down to Chicago or somewhere exciting this summer.

    No I didn't I bought it from a guy who had it for like 6 days then didn't have enough money for it and his school tuition or something like that. I think his name was John.

    Nah, the car just came up from Iowa somewhere and the guy that bought it sold it to me right away.

    Well I will be sure to get into contact with you when I have everything and need a tune! And thanks for the compliment of the wheels! They actually used to be Chris'

    MMMmmm I love them. Sand, prime, and 3 coats I think? Not a bad looking wheel to be OEM.

    Thanks! We're going to have to do some cruises this summer. I want to go down to Chicago for a weekend or something sometime.. I might need a detail too, Cody ;) Paint isn't as smooth as it could be and the headlights are a bit foggy.

    Were the wheels gold before you painted them?

    Great looking wagon, grats on the new ride.

    Yeah, I'm afraid that your old under-the-seat sub I just got might make me want to wear full protection while handling it.

    Indeed, hopefully there was an acid dip before handling these wheels.

    Thanks! Hopefully come summer I will have either Tein or BC coils, 18x8 Rota Torques and some sort of tires to go with her! I will be set for the appearance; for the most part. Then comes modding the engine a bit! and a tune of course :)

    That's a big jump. I guess 2.5L engines are just too big for this turbo but 2.0 could see some good power with E85. Where was this 4 years ago when I had my bugeye, it might be too much torque for the tranny :)

    Big ups to my amazing tuner ;)
