Thank ya' much.
Well, even if I did, I imagine I would be slightly less stupid. I'd have seven thousand dollars less of a car to throw over a cliff. If I wanted to do dounuts I would of bought a Miata (not really powerful, but in my price range and a good autocrosser). I bought the Subaru for traction.
Right now it's still in the break-in period.... Sadly.

i bet you cant wait to give it some poke
Yeah, I was infatuated with GTRs until I came back to reality and realized I was never going to own one. So why not go with the next best thing? World Rally Blue STi in a goo number of years.
Maybe the Atessa AWD G35 would let me get a taste of the Skylines.Subaru is evil and decided that 3,500rpms would be a good place for the turbo to really start going and tease the owner by making them shift at 4,000rpms. Oh well, 1600 more miles and I can take her out to 7k.
How is your Skyline?

yeah that 500rpms worth of good boost must hurt, but dont worry 1600miles should go quick, when i got my skyline i did 5000k's (roughly 3000miles in a month and a half). my skylines good i just serviced it. i am quite angry my rear tyres are quite worn, , they where new only 2 1/2 months ago and there 255R17s so there not cheap
, this is why i want a GTR
, this is why i want a GTRI've talked to many WRX owners about it, and nearly everyone had theirs removed. Most of them (if not all) were just stickers though, so I don't know how much trouble they are going to give you. But, I do remember that it is not a legal right of theirs (unless it's in your sales contract).
By the way, this is an invaluable resource for Imprezas and Subarus in general: http://www.nasioc.com

Right now I'm just scared to do anything that could void the warranty. I know it probably wouldn't, and I could easily replace it... I bet, but I'm a chicken #!$@. Haha, I'm DenverWRX on I-Club and ClubWRX and still DenverRS on NASIOC.

Oh, and Goomba - take off your silencer whenever you get up the gumption to do it. It'll help your spool come a bit earlier, and it sounds much better.
I'm suprised they changed the break-in period on the '04s though. It was only 1k on my '02.
It's worth the wait though, that's for sure. The first time you wrap that tach all the way around to 7k, be ready to shift. I remember the first one I test drove. I was with the wife, and she told be to give it some push to see what it'd do. Mashed the air pedal in first at about 2k. ZZzzz...I thought. The rpms slowly climbed, and then VRRRROOOOOMMMM!! Next thing I know, I'm gripping the wheel like a maniac and getting really friendly with the rev limiter. 
I want my car back...

Tire wear sucks. Especially when your tires spin so easily.
Car break-in periods are pointless. My car had 4 or 500 miles on it before it was modded, and dyno'ed. Since then it's seen 6500rpm pulls everyday, and now has 2700(
) miles on it with zero problems.Killabyte, the Sonic Blue '03 Cobra you've all probably seen in the videos racing the E55 AMG, or whatever, has been racing his car ever since it had 30 miles on it. It has over like 20,000 miles on it now with no problems.

I'm not sure. Reading through a Sport Compact Car, they said their WRX wasn't broken-in gently and dynoed at 10hp less than most WRXs. Not sure if something just went wrong or what, but I'm not taking my chances.
