    Don’t tell me parts for the WRX are drying up! I have a 2003 wrx that I lifted, installed a tow hitch on, and replaced the engine with the block out of a 2019 sti.

    It’s actually become my “I need to haul things” vehicle. The high compression of the 2.5l block and the 2.0l heads from the original motor has given it a healthy amount of torque. Plus I have the tiniest trailer that is exactly the size of a pallet and weighs next to nothing.

    I also have a 2001 MR2 spyder. That’s my fun, sporty one. Only mods I’ve done to that are the head unit and installing a LSD after a bearing grenaded in the transaxle and I had to rebuild it.

    Pretty much the only thing thing that’ll get me to replace either is if they get wrecked and it twists the frame.

    Though the car I WANT to be driving is a catterham.
