In reply to clutchsmoke:
I have a couple on my phone, just haven't put them on Photobucket yet. It's dark blue, gray interior. Couple dings on the outside, interior is mint. It has the "cool" Speedline 15" wheels. Check engine light was on yesterday when I moved it to the side in the parking lot, but it ran fine. It pretty much looks like this, just dark blue:
The front definitely looks Subaru-esqe, the back not so much. Kind of an ugly little bugger, but still kinda cool (I know, I'm weird, but I guess that's normal for this forum).
Well, got it in the shop today. My work requires employee purchase cars to pass VA State Inspection, so my coworker inspected it and it looked great! Has some surface rust underneath, but nothing serious. The interior is super clean, the AC is cold (although it's a pretty wimpy blower), and the motor looked clean inside (at least from what I could see through the oil fill). Had an IAC valve code, which probably explains why it would stall every once in a while. Oh, and the battery is toast, kept having to jump start it. Other than that, she's good to go! Desperately needs stiffer springs...that might be the softest suspension I've ever seen/felt! I think I'm gonna go for it, just gotta move some money into the checking account. Once I figure out how to get the pics off my new phone, I'll post them!

It looks like there are a number of manufacturers that make springs, but they might be hard to find stateside since the car wasn't exactly popular with the tuner crowd. I think B&G's are a 1.6 drop, and should help with the stiffness. I recall reading about a Swift J18 swap where they were using only a Honda header and 2 1/4" exhaust and made 130 hp.
