WTB 2gb GSX, WRX, EVO

That's some good info. I never knew that about the WRX/STi.

Gotta love being on a forum with people who know their stuff!

Im not really looking to go fast right now, when I registered for this forum I had a 2g gsx that I installed a 20g in with supporting mods. Now i'm in a senior in college at the university of Minnesota in Duluth in there software engineering program. I am looking for a car that will be a good base to build off of as soon as I start working and making BANK!

LOL @ the hopes, dreams, and expectations of a college student...I remember my senior year at UMD :)

My advice is to keep saving until you can afford a nice WRX, STI, or Evo. Also, keep researching everything and test-drive a few examples of each until you really get a feel for exactly what you want in a car. My wife has a modded '07 WRX and although it has a completely different feel than my Evo, it is still a very fun car to bomb around in. With a few mods she's making more power than stock Evo's and with Shane's (ecoli) custom dyno tune on it I have no reservations regarding its reliability. The Evo is a great choice if you're willing to give up some of that comfort and smoothness for raw performance. The Evo is much harsher and the interior has no where near as many creature-comforts, but when I get on the gas, hammer the brakes, or turn the wheels hard I forget all about that and immediately start grinning. I feel the STI falls somewhere between the WRX and Evo and is almost a compromise of the two; some of the WRX niceties and 80% of the Evo's raw performance characteristics.

So no turbotalon1g this thread is not another I want to go fast story...Like I said I don't trust other peoples builds, I do everything myself.

What did you go for?

[TurboDomestics]

What did you go for?
Bachelor of Business Administration with a major in Finance and minor is Psychology. I edited my above post and added quite a bit to it so scroll up and give it a read.

haha, I went on a paid internship for axiomtek, I made enough money to pay off all my college loans, and have some left over....software engineering is a terribly hard major but the pay out is well worth it.

BANK? LOL good luck man :) I say save your money, buy a cheap car (even if it is a DSM) and start looking for a job like yesterday. Otherwise you'll wind up roaming europe and finding yourself, blowing all your money and paying for rent with a credit card until you get a part-time gig to start paying the bills.

Reality: its tough, but a good thing to deal with.

Thanks for the Advice Kracka, I just might do that! I live close enough to school that I don't need a car, or I could take out a loan....Sounds like you love your evo though!
