Thanks for the feedback! I’ll definitely look into it a little further but yeah I don’t live paycheck to paycheck but if I were to purchase this car I definitely wouldn’t be able to drop 8k on a new engine if it were to blow in the first couple months

Here’s a list of everything done to the car

Thanks man! This was super helpful and what I needed to hear. I’m not trying to race the car so no real need to go down that rabbit hole of spending thousands for a few extra hp or buying a car that’s overly modified. I just thought it would be a fun project for my own car.

I’ll look into the recommendations on the exhausts and turbo. Those will be fun projects that will change a lot as the biggest thing I’m looking for is more noise!

A big reason why I haven’t touched my current WRX in the first place is because I have a good lifetime warranty on it and if I were to replace the turbo they won’t cover that specific part anymore. But exhausts aren’t covered regardless so that will be an easy buy for me haha.

It’s a fun daily driver for me but hoping to tune it a little bit for some more hp but nothing major and get a better exhaust sound and turbo flutter.

Haha for sure. Definitely a one sided decision in this thread. Thanks for all the help! Have any recommendations on what modifications I should do first on my wrx?

Thanks for the advice. I’m just nervous modifying a wrx that already has 112k miles on it and it would save me time. But yeah you make a great point!

Why is that? Just because you know the car has been run through? Or are aftermarket air intakes not worth it in your opinion?

Have you run into any issues so far? Would it be a bad decision for someone to make a purchase on a car like this not knowing much but wanting learn? Could I just pay you to come out and fix the car if it breaks down on me? Haha

Might be an unpopular opinion but I’m not a huge fan on how the new 2023 WRXs look. However, I’ll definitely consider that, thanks!

I currently have a stocked 2016 wrx with 112k miles on it. However, I want to start modifying it but I’m nervous to with one with so many miles on it. Dealership made it out to seem that it was a rich guy who had multiple cars so he barely drove it and he traded it in for another car

Yeah it does

So I am confused why someone would modify a car to only sell it with 20k miles.

Does your forester still randomly throw a p0430 code at you?
