>>13728348Because I've already sunk a bunch of money into the parts of this car that aren't the engine, and most of the WRXs are modified clapped out pieces of shit. Finding one that's unmolested would cost a lot more than the ~$2500 for the engine, wiring harness, exhaust, and crossmember that I'd need, and then the WRX would need a bunch of work on top of that, that I've already done to my car.
Plus I already like this car a lot. It handles great and drives amazingly. It's also old enough that the turbo stuff just bolts right in and there isn't much electronic fuckery to deal with like a newer car besides merging the harnesses.
It's also a bit cheaper than importing a twin turbo Legacy GT-B would be in six years when they're legal.
TL;DR, it's cheaper, I don't have to wait 6 years to import one already made, and I'll have more money left over afterwards to mod it to be faster than a WRX anyway.
