I'm just debating on how tall to make the baja bug, I'm kinda wanting it to be more like the actual racing ones.

street legal.. hahaha! I don't have to worry about that problem here, no car inspections.
Long as it isn't loud or such its legal.

Only has 42,000 kms on it and yet almost every part in it has been changed or removed for weight savings.Took me alot to get it in the 2800 lbs range..,..All suspension mounting points have also been changed for the drag suspension..I think thats funny..

Go for a WRX. You can scoop up an '02-'03 for pretty cheap.
They're beasts.
Anyways. I have a 97 Legacy GT.

How sick would it be to get an STi? I just need the AWD or 4WD for my outings to Tahoe during the winter. I hate chains.
PS good to see you back.

we have no inspections until you get pulled, then depending on what the cop wants to do you can end up with a laundry list of tickets.

Thanks. Honestly, any subaru is basically a beast. STi's are hellof sick, but you pay the extra money for the horsepower and insurance. They also come with summer tires so you would have to buy a new set of tires or wheels and tires. How much power do you want? You could go the swap route and get an early model Impreza and swap in a beefier transmission and an STi engine or go with a WRX and an accessport. They come out to be around the same price. Or just an older subaru and leave it like that. If you do end up getting one, try and get a manual. Automatics have a fucked up drivetrain bias making them 90f/10r in 3rd and 4th until they start to slip. But manuals have 50f/50r in all gears (unless you have an STi, then you can change the center differential in the cabin to be more or less rear biased). Hit me up if you need any help deciding. If you can't tell I'm kindof a subaru nerd...

The swap would be too much for me right now. I have a limited knowledge of cars, just what I learned from my highschool auto class. But I do want the manual trans, probably go with the WRX, and what about the accessport? Do they fit certain model impezas, and if so, which one would you recommend?
I'd probably be looking for the sedan only because I could never see myself driving a wagon.

Yea. I would go with just about any year WRX sedan (WRX wagons are fugly), or a 2005 Legacy GT sedan/wagon. I know it's a wagon, but with drop and some nice wheels they look hellof clean, and has about 30 more hp. The accessport just plugs into the OBDII port and reflashes the ECU, adding about 20-30hp by changing the fuel and timing map. It will fit any WRX or post-2005 Legacy GT.
