You bought an STI, you've already made your choice guy. Evo's are great, but if you've already bought a car, paid it off, invested money into it, just keep going with it. You've gone this far already why turn back now. Oh yeah, its an EVO!

It seems that you are already getting bored with STI. I had 04 STI as well. I had TBE and COBB reflash, ran 1/4 in 12.67... I enjoyed for about 2 1/2 years but had to get rid of it. I just didn't feel like dropping over $5K into the STI to reach another level. Meantime, I had a buddy who had EVO which I always worked on for him. After I upgrade his EVO to 272 cams, TBE, Fuel Pump, ARC intake, and couple of other thing, I could not believe how well it ran.... First time ever driving his car in a track, I did 12.3 with easy lauch and shifting.. I could probably do 12.1 if I had couple more chance...
Within a month, I sold my STI. If you like cars, I mean performance, yes trade your STI and get EVO IX... You will be happier... Even though NASIOC folks criticize on the interior quality of EVO, it isn't that bad... Actually, I like IX interior better than STI interiro... Yes, It is better than tacky EVO8 interior...
I currently have IX MR and I don't even plan to upgrade... Well, it is that good from the factory...

You mentioned your STi ran a 12.67. What mph were you clocking?
