Learn me 2.5 RS vs RSTi. I keep forgetting what all first gen Impreza models are.

I'd get an e28 wagon, and a 993 (is that reasonable?).

I'm happy with my current 03 wrx wagon as a DD then either a 240z, alfa gtv6, Alfa GT jr. Something along those lines as a weekender

Nope. Not at all. I am not going to be able to tell you the exact differences between them but basically the NA 2.5 do not have the capability to take a turbo. (that's a lie, people have turbo'd the NA motor, but only ran to a few PSI 'healthily'). I was curious and went to wikipedia. Basically you are dealing with these two motors:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Flat four EJ251

The EJ251 has demonstrated externally leaking head gasket issues on occasion as the engine accumulates mileage over 100,000 miles (160,000 km). SOHC Intake volume is calculated by the use of a MAP sensor , unlike the EJ253 which uses a MAF sensor . Compression ratio is 9.7:1.

Power ISO: 123 kW (165 hp) @ 5600 RPM
226 N·m (167 ft·lbf) @ 4000 rpm

Usage:

Impreza 2.5RS, 2.5TS 98-04 (US)

Impreza Outback Sport 02-04 (US)

Forester 00-04 (US)

Legacy 00-04 (US)

Outback 00-04 (US)

Baja 03-05 (US)

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

EJ257 engine

DOHC 16-valve turbo. Originally designed for the North American Impreza STI in 2004 with AVCS and DBW. The same shortblock as EJ255 except the EJ255 has a different domed piston vs the EJ257. The heads also have different components. Subaru of America designates the same part numbers for an EJ255 shortblock, and EJ257 shortblock with the exception of the pistons.

Usage:

US Market Impreza WRX STi MY04~MY07 (300 hp, 293 hp (New SAE standard))

US Market Impreza WRX STI MY08~MY10 (305 hp (New SAE standard))

US Market Subaru Legacy/Subaru Outback MY05~MY06

Asian, European Market Impreza WRX STi 05~present (280 hp, 40KG/m)

DD

-R35

-SRT Viper (I'm hoping that prices go down soon)

Weekend/Project

-NSX

-S2k

-S14

-BRZ

-350z

-67' Mustang

-E46

-R34 GTR

-1st or 2nd gen GTR

-AE86.

Basically, I want my DD to be reliable, AWD, DSG (because NJ traffic), and left hand drive (because tolls and drive throughs). I know the Viper isn't anything above, but shit, it's batshit insane for a DD. Weekend/projects would be cars that I modify to hell, and be all manual.
