Newbies Introduce Yourselves Here

[dyang]

Hi, I'm new to the MN subaru community. I made a member ID here about 2 months ago but never had the chance to do anything, so I'm just saying Hello.
I drive a 2005 STI and enjoying every bit of it. Lately I'v been contiplating on a turbo upgrade for a while now and was wouldering if anyone in the twin-cities area would happen to have any of these upgraded turbos on their STI DeadBolt20g,SZ49 and SZ55. It's alot to ask, but would someone with any of those on their STI give me a ride.

[dezavu]

welcome to the board! i'm not a subie driver, but they still welcome me... i think... any ways, these guys are more than willing to help out in your search for an upgraded turbo! do some searches for some answers, and learn to use the [pm] button when applicable. hope you like your stay!

[readymix]

Dream is using a 20G. You could ask him. It isn't a deadbolt one though.

[LVT]

welcome aboard! hope someone here can answer your Q.

Wait.. you dont drive a Subaru?! leave, now or feel the wrath of my little "o".


Also aaron (discopope) has the deadbolt 20g I believe.

[Dream]

Do it right the first time, rotated GT30 or GT35R kit. Oh ya, and welcome :)

[02blubru]

Welcome to the club, there is a lot of great info floating around in here

[jdmspecWRX]

nyob zoo....also a newbbie here. I've been lurking around, but haven't sign up until now. Us hmoob Subaru brothers should get together sometime........I wanna see who drives what. I seen an older dude....mid-30ish with a Silver STI on 36, a WR Blue STI on White Bear, and a bunch of others. By the way, I have a blue bugg eye........with Borla Headers, Greddy EVO2 exhaust, STi Short shifter, Gunmetal Prodrive P1's, Prodrive springs, and AEM CAI.........yeah....anybody want a free intake.....if you can take it out, you can have it. Don't have the cash for more mods right now, but if I did....I would go up-pipe and down-pipe.

anyway, just wanted to say hello.....

[bluebaru06]

Gotta love the Bugeyes. I had an '02 blue bugeye WRX, best car I'd ever owned till I got the new Uber Scoob. Glad you posted.

[jdmspecWRX]

oh yeah........and Bugg-eyes RULE!!!

99-01 = Best looking face
02-03 = Dodge Neon Look
04-05 = Hyundai Look
06+ = Saab/Alfa Look

What the hell was Subaru thinking. Hope Toyota puts some sense into Subaru with that 20% ownership stake.

[jdmspecWRX]

what the hell......Subarus in general Rule.....

AWD Rules.

Subaru + Toyota = RULE the UNIVERSE.

As you can see, I got nothing to do today.

you might have just lost whatever respect you had. :shock: :shock:

[jdmspecWRX]

the truth hurts......but gotta live with it.

[bluebaru06]

He called my '02 WRX a...I can't say it....a....a....Neon.....he calls my girlfriends '04 TS a Hyundai...a Hyundai for God's sake!. Then he insults all that is good in this world by calling my '06 STi a...a...god forgive me...a Saab. There's only one thing we can do...we're gonna have to kill him.

Oh, I know! we can have a Scooby get together! Justin and Readymix can bring the beer, Fuji and Fong can bring eggrolls and rice, I'll bring a Weber grill, we toss him off a bridge into the river, then we cook up some steaks....it'll be great!

[jdmspecWRX]

You know you thought the same thing at some point. No need to be a hypocrite. You guys are starting to sound like some of the Honda guys now. Can’t nobody have an opinion anymore these days.

[Justin]

simmer down now. its all good.

[sleepydsm]

Hey everyone,
My name is Kevin, I don't know a damn thing about flat 4s or Subies at all! I thought I'd join here to meet some new car people! I'm a DSMer at heart, and I'm currently on my 3rd: a red 1992 eagle talon. Its slow considering it's a n/t auto :wink: Anyways, does anyone still go down to Firestone? I've always wanted to stop by and say hello, but I thought you Subie guys had STIs (they used to be called STDs right?) or something.

How does this site talk about "street racing"? Taboo?

And sorry for posting this in the wrong place before!

[02blubru]

Welcome to the club, as far as I know there are still people going to firestone I don't think it has gotten cold enought to keep us in. As far as talking about street racing on these forums, we don't!

[AWDimprezaL]

not street racing, only skreet racing

[sleepydsm]

oooh gotcha 8) Anyways, I'll stop by firestone sometime and say heylo.

[Justin]

speaking of skreet r4cing.. i'm sure some of you go to this site..but for those that dont...

I'm a new guy looking to buy a WRX sometime soon. I just got a new job and I'd like to have a daily driver that I can actually enjoy (currently driving a 2.0 passat)

I've got my eye on a 04 WRX for sale at one of the Morries dealers but if anyone knows of a used 04 for sub 17k please let me know. I'd be willing to buy an 02-03 if the price was right. I'm not looking to mod it to much, intake exhaust work and mabey a chip at most.

I've got a Datsun project for my crazy horsepower needs, its a soon to be Supercharged 383 small block in a 2500lb car :D.

Hi everyone!

I'm usually on NASIOC with this same username, but I'm joining this forum so I can get in on some of the great group buys and deals you guys have from time to time. I'm friends with kelly (snbrd4ever) and he introduced me to this great foum :)
Since we are all subie lovers here let me share my ride with you:
1999 2.5RS with clear corners/side markets/turn signals, CF hood, V5 spoiler, rear skirts, JDM tail lights:
http://www.powerlabs.org/images/subitop.jpg
http://www.powerlabs.org/images/subirear.jpg
And a JDM V5 WRX Type RA engine under the hood:
http://www.powerlabs.org/images/stiic.jpg

Its a work in progress, but I've done a lot to it. Check out my webpage for some pictures of the swap and the other mods I've done: http://www.powerlabs.org/jdmsubaru.htm

[kickin_81]

Quite a ride you have there, man! I've never seen it or heard about it before. And welcome to MNSubaru.

Welcome to the site. You might want to post requesting opinions, but based on the mod list and future mods in your sig, I would HIGHLY recommend getting larger injectors than STI pinks for your setup. With a VF22 and upgraded intercooler you will be able to run plenty of boost and make good power, but you won't reach the full potential of the setup with those injectors, you WILL max them out.

[jdmspecWRX]

damn....that's a nice ride. I've always like the the old Impreza look. SWEET!

[02blubru]

Sweet car, welcome to the club

[xkontour98]

Hey all i'm New to the board and new to Rochester, MN. Originally i'm from Stillwater, MN. My current ride is a Contour SVT but I am looking to add a new DD to the garage sometime inthe future. I am looking at a 04/05 STi or possibly holding out for the 2008 STI. I know its not a Subie but ill throw up a pic of my ride.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/xkontour98/DSCF0402222.jpg

[LVT]

nice ride and weclome to the forums. You dont' really have to have a subaru.As long as you have an interest in them. shouldn't matter.

[xkontour98]

Thanks! I have wanted a Subie ever since the 2.5RS came out. I would have a 05' STI if I haddent just graduated college and bought a house. Nothing beats the sound of a blown boxer engine 8)

[Justin]

[rplumbo]

Hey everyone,
My name is Reid, I bought a 97 OBW in March. Am I the only legacy owner on this entire board?? Everyone has WRXs. Maybe Outback is a four letter word here! lol. I love the wagon cargo space for my other hobby, flying RC helicopters. They take up a lot of room.

I'm an engineer by day, but I don't do much with cars. I did have a recent triumph when I replaced my HVAC bulbs behind the dash though. I'll be up for new rear pads in the spring and I'd like to try doing that. Also, if/when the headgasket goes (Phase I 2.5 DOHC), I would like to find someone to replace that with along with timing belt, water pump etc.

I've been at USMB with the same username. Look forward to meeting you guys in person. I'll try to make Firestone sometime after the new year and introduce myself. I'll be the one in a blue OB with the lit HVAC lights. :D

Reid

[95lwrx]

welcome

[AWDimprezaL]

welcome, and no you arent the only legacy owner! there are at least 4 i can think of, but yes, mostly wrx's and GCs

[Dizmal]

Hey, my name is Matt. I just moved to Eagan from St. Cloud. I just picked up a '02 WRX after my '90 Celica GT-S's tranny decided to take a crap on me. Pretty much my first experience with a Subaru. I always had great luck with Toyota's and was looking at another Celica. But a few of my online friends from another forum had talked about how much they love their Suby's. So I decided to give them a look.

Well it just so happens that a guy in the TCMAS reef club I belong to is a salesman at Suburban Chrysler. I mentioned it to him I was looking at them and he just happened to get a WRX in. Pretty high miles, 112k was owned by Subaru and was driven by a rep. A late 30 something family guy who traded it in for a Durango after having his 2nd kid. So it was driven fairly nicely. They were originally asking $11k for it but John brought it down to $9,2 for me. I figured since most rex's with 80-70k mile are going for $15k, thats $6k more than what I paid. So thats alot of mods and repairs I can do with that money if anything were to happen to it and still break even or be able to buy a nice engine.

All in all I'm in love with this little car. Fun to drive, even though I baby it. But I can't wait to throw some parts on this thing. I got my Perrin sway bars, whiteline steering rack bushings ready to go. Just need to get my Kartboy endlinks and heavy duty sway bar mounts then I can have them installed. Then next on the list is the Cobb AP and helix up/down pipe with the Borla Hush dual tip exhaust. Then I will get some new shocks and when spring rolls around some Rota Tarmacs.

Can't wait! I really want to get out and go for a drive with you guys. Hopefully there will be a meet soon.

[FuglyWRX]

Howdy, My Names Stephen, and I'm an alcoholic.... errr... wrong place thats mondays.... let me start over...

So basically I just picked up my WRX FINALLY yesterday from a guy in IOWA, so far anywho I'm incredibly happy with it, but who wouldn't be, it's a WRX.

I live in Red Wing but go to UST in St. Paul.

My car is a little bit too unique, even for me haha, but I'll deal with it. It's an 04, with a what I would call pretty custom paintjob on it done by the previous owner. It's got PPG tri-color paint on it along with a black hood. The Paint is a Key-Lime, see it before you hate haha, or goahead and hate, I don't mind...It has a LOT of gold and blue flake.

Got some basic preformance mods, as well as some cosmetic ones, I'll just post a picture and let you all see for yourself and you can ask me if you have any questions, such as what the hell you were thinking and such, haha, hmm okay not...

[Justin]

^omg, lol nice.

jason, i dont know if we can beat this even with jdm green wheels.


welcome btw

[02blubru]

Welcome to the board. That is a clean looking WRX there fuglyWRX

[rskm1]

i dont know if we can beat this even with jdm green wheels.
:lol: The first thing I thought when I saw that picture was "Dang, that boy seriously needs some green wheels."

I can't find those pictures of the guy who rattle-canned his wheels green... was that on rs25.com?

|EDIT: my green is a little "off", but this is with built-in Windoze tools, no Adobe products available...

Hey.
So me and my girl were drinving around the other night and she spotted a lot full of clean imprezas. After some googling we found this site and the Firestone thread. So are you guys there every week? It was cold as balls last night! Anyway, Im sure there're some pignose haters, but here's my OBP TR:

The die hards are there every friday for the most part. I would like to make it more often then I do but with the planning of a wedding my time gets taken up real fast.

Welcome to the club.
FYI: I was unable to view the pic, not sure if it is me or what.

[subaru4]

welcome

[idget]

Thanks for the warm welcome and congrats blubru. I guess Im a noob at posting pics... hopefully the avatar worked

[bananas]

Well Hi ya'll!

While I don't have a Subaru, I have the utmost respect for them. I almost bought a WRX a couple years ago but ended up getting a 2003 A4 1.8TQM instead. My buddy is parrot and he just bought a brand spankin new Impreza 2.5.

I like tromping around in the snow (AWD rocks) so maybe I'll run into one or two of you guys when the white stuff falls :D. Or I'll figure out what this Firestone thing is all about or maybe go up to the ice races. Anyway I'll see ya around!

Hi I'm new although I don't have a Scooby, I just recently got an '06 Evo IX. I was refered to the site by Erik and Jason. I go to school in La Crosse, WI, but I live in Woodbury, MN. I originally was going to get an STi, but the Evo just won me over. Hope to see some of you guys around!


very nice 9, i'm running a black 8 myself. lookin forward...

[banders91]

Hey, i'm from Fergus Falls and I drive an 02 WRX-white. Got it back in May just stumbled across this site. Stock for now but I have some plans.

[Who dat ninja]

What's up, I'm from St. Paul & drive a '03 wrx sedan

[Justin]

welcome noobs

[Raaz]

y hallo thar....Names Tim, don't have a running car of my own at the moment, but i did manage to meet a few of you last friday and ended up chasing the pack over to justins for a lil pizza n gt... twas fun :P and me being lucky as i am, only live bout a mile n change from firestone =o

[IamUnInc]

Hey, names Nick. I have a 05 silver wrx with standard factory upgrades but im goin Cobb stage 2 asap. I live in Hastings but i go to school in Salt Lake. I dont know anyone in my town that drives a subaru, (except for one kid i went to high school with but Ive got issues with his punk a**). I just randomly found this sight and figured i check it out. Im usually on clubwrx.net. Just figured id say whats up.

Oh, where does everyone buy their parts from. I was going to buy mine from Rally Sport Direct (because its 20 min from where i live). But I would rather not have to drive back to MN with them.

[Billy Bones]

hello-

My name is BIlly and I'm the proud new owner of a '05 silver sti. Only
had 4-5 months now, but am racking up the miles and smiling constantly!
I work in Minnetonka and commute back and forth from St. Cloud.
So having a sweet ride really helps after those long crappy days.

I haven't modified anything yet- but can't wait to start. I hope to go on
some upcoming subie trips this spring summer.

Any advice on cat back exhaust systems ? up and down tubes etc.
I don't want to radically mod till warranty is up- which shouldn't take
long with my current mileage. later- subies rule the road...........

Billy Bones

[John16V]

Welcome aboard Billy :D

How is that driving working out for you?? If I were you I would get a beater, the mileage will kill your car (not to mention your wallet $$$)

I use to work with a guy who also live in St Cloud...after a year and putting about 50,000 mile on his car, he finally call it quit.

Good luck

[COBBsoobyStage1]

Hello all, I'm new to the site, and as of last week, new to owning a Subaru. I picked up an 04'wrx-wagon w/ Cobbstage1 ecu package already installed and am considering a new exhaust. I was looking on the Cobb site and it looks like I have a few options Cat-back or turbo-back.

I was wondering if anyone has any opinions/preferences in this area. Certainly I don't want to do anything that will *hurt* my Scooby so exhaust is about all the farther I'm willing to go. that and maybe suspension/rims.

[scoobydreamin]

Thanks! I have wanted a Subie ever since the 2.5RS came out. I would have a 05' STI if I haddent just graduated college and bought a house. Nothing beats the sound of a blown boxer engine 8)

Injection is nice, but I'd rahter be blown, boxter engine.

[scoobydreamin]

Well it just so happens that a guy in the TCMAS reef club I belong to.[/quote]

So we will exspect to see a 90 gallon reef set up in the hatch then?

Welocme.

[M155L3R]

Just wanted to say whats up, new to the site, work for Morries Subaru Mtka. Just returned from Knoxville TN from picking up my 04 STi that had 9000 miles on it. Had a little help from a few members of this board getting up here to MN, looking forward to some trouble with the new car and doing a few mods.

Later

welcome

Any bell mouth exhaust of quality will do. (helix,invidia as ex.) Expect to find out what boost creep is. The uppipe is not needed on the sti till you put some power to it.

Hey everyone

My name is Matt and I have been reading around on these forums for a while but have never got around to posting anything. I recently got a silver 05 wrx and I just bought an Invidia N1 exhaust. Hopefully more to come in the future. I went down to firestone tonight and got to see some of you all. I live over in woodbury and hope to get out to Firestone more often.

Hope to meet all you guys soon.

[piddster]

Just joined the board. I've been on bbs.legacycentral.org for a while. I'm up in D town (Duluth) where the roads swallow whole cars :eek4:

I've got quite the project going. I've got a '93 Legacy L AWD 5MT. Last spring I picked up a motor out of '91 SS (turbo Legacy). She's getting the complete makeover with Wiseco pistons (.020 over), Eagle rods, redone heads with cams reground by Delta, decked, all seals with new water and oil pump. I got the bottom end balanced with the pressure plate and flywheel. 650cc JECS injectors, Walbro pump with an intercooler from Spearco measuring 26x6.5x3.5 will handle the boost from a Garrett GT2871R w/ .86 A/R turbine. It will be a rotated mount setup to straighten out my plumbing. For EM, I'm looking at the Link Plus G2 to go with the Zeitronix wideband w/ EGT & boost sensor I already have. STi Group N engine & tranny mounts button her down. Its all being fed through a '05 STi transmission, clutch and flywheel, with 8k miles.

For suspension, I'm running H&R street coilovers, STi Group N strut tops, Whiteline anti-lift kit, energy suspension kit, SuperPro steering rack, rear lateral link, differential support and tranmssion support bushings. I picked up a lower H brace as well. My brakes are the Racing Brake 4pot setup w/ Hawk pads and Goodridge lines. I'll upgrade the rears to the vented Turbo Legacy setup, with decent pads and rotors.

I'm gonna shift the radiator back using some SPAL fans, so I can put the IC behind the headlights. My AC has been toast since I hit a deer a year and a half ago, so no worries about that. The lower radiator support is pretty mangled, so that needs to be replaced. The center support is getting tossed and I'll just run two locking hood pins.

I just need to get the EM, and a few odds and ends like a matching rear diff, WRX/STi clutch and brake pedals with clutch master and slave cylinders(since mine is a cable), IC plumbing, new hood, front fenders, BOV and what not.

Its a lot of work, but should be worth it for one hell of a sleeper.

[snbrd4evr]

That's awesome. I'm up in your area (ashland to be exact). We meet everyonce and a while at the firestone near the mall. But it really is everyonce and a while. My car is currently taken apart awaiting a stroked 2.2t so we're probably going to have some fun when you get it all done :)

[02blubru]

sounds like you know what you are doing, welcome to the boards

[piddster]

Nice. You gotta love the interchangability of Subaru's. Whether it be suspension, driveline, or engine parts, there is alot that carries over from year to year. Wiring is a different story, unfortunately. But seriously, its amazing how little these cars have changed since Subaru introduced the Legacy. :cool:

I totally know what you mean, my friends always laugh at me when I tell them I'm using a block out of a 91 legacy, 01RS heads, and a STi Crank. Gotta love it :)

[hofit]

I just joined. I don't have my Subie yet as it was picked up by the DAS auto shippers yesterday. It's a Silver '04 STI that used to be Mitchell's from Nasioc. I'll stop by for one of the events soon. Glad to meet ya all.

yeah i am definitely still a n00b...hello all. live in maple grove. I have lived around here for 1 1/2 years. Woodbury to eden prairie to st louis park to maple grove. anything else i need to say?

[Vila]

Hey all

I'm Vila, my ride is a Blue '02 WRX. I live in SW Minnesota, so it is rare when I see a fellow WRX.

I just joined this site. Good to see others in the same state with a forum. I usually joined in on vividracing.com forum, but their site has changed much over the years. Used to be just WRX & EVO's. Now it is everything under the sun.

My ride is modified to about a stage 3 level. I'm an engineer, so tuning & tweaking is up my alley. My oddest mod. would have to be the trailer hitch. Some may think it looks odd, but my WRX towing my snowmobile looks sweet to me.

Anywho, I look forward to seeing you all at a meet some time.

[Sogonerg]

Nice meeting u Vila, is that trailer Hitch a stage 3 also? JK...It is always nice to see Subys being used to there full potential. Welcome aboard...

[G35XRally]

Hello!

I dont own a Subie. My dads been throwing around the idea of giving me his Infiniti, which would be cool, but if that doesent work out, off to Morries!!

Anyways, i love to go down to Firestone and hang out. Its my new favorite Friday night thing to do, instead of Chinese food and a movie lol.

Anyways, cool to meet ya'll!

[Palmer]

Hi!

I don't have a Subaru. I almost had one, but due to some "unforseen military action" a few years ago, I do not. My first car was a subaru and it gave me the love for all things boxer. It was an 86 GL wagon. I wish I still had it.

Kinda.

I do have a saab with some mods though..


But, I have been checking out some other TC boards, and I like this one best!

I also checked out the members cars section, You guys have some nice rides.

Anyway, just though I would say "hi"

[KickAssFlash]

I know Numchux very well, and I went to the Firestone lot with him a couple weekends ago and met some guys.

I have a 95 Mustang with the modzorz for the cone track (autocross), and some other goodies under the hood.

Also have a Baby Blue Jeep Wrangler that is married to the chuxwagon. Plenty of ownage has been had between the two.

So yeah, I'll probably end up at the Firestone lot a couple times this year with him, so I'll probably see some of you around.

Love the Subbies!

[Fasteddy]

Hey,
I'm kind of new here. Was here and was a little involved in the local scene about 3 years ago. Started my own business so focused on that for a while but now I have some time and money again so I'm back. I've met some of you but don't remember names very well. I had a 2000 2.5RS and now have an 2003 WRX Wagon that has a few mods and is getting more.

Hello... I'm a newb to the forum! I used to own a 2005 WRX STI and am now looking to order a standard 2006 WRX. I need more miles on a tank for in town driving. I used to get about 200 miles on my STI driving 8 mile distances.

:laugh:

[dansherman]

Hey guys, new to the forum. I picked up my first Subaru, a 98 Outback Wagon to replace my 96 Suburban, a few weeks ago. So far it's great. I've got to track down a rear wiper arm though, mine was missing when I bought it (from Morrie's MTKA).

I noticed a few of you are from Orono/Independence... I graduated from Orono a few years back.

Thanks

^Welcome...What car do you drive?

[ST1KillaFTWOMGLOLHI2U]

I have an 04 Mitsu Evo...I love the car but some times i wish I would have picked up an STi....I was so torn between the two that when it came down to it the Evo was cheaper and thats what I ended up with....Its all stock for now;)

[yosmiley]

Welcome... and yes, Evo's are welcome as well.

[badbennyb]

Welcome! if you haven't already check out evomn.net it is a fairly new group w/some really nice members. they may be able to help more with evo specifics but this site is WAY more active so look here for more fun and events.

[Torc]

hey all...buyin an 05 sti this week..been readin your forums for about a week..all seem like a nice bunch..any subaru owners in the forest lake area?

[saloner]

Hi,
I'm moving to Minneapolis, and 'am considering my first Subaru purchase: an Impreza WRX wagon.
It is heartening to me that a club and forum with enthusiastic and knowledgeable members exists in Minneapolis; makes me that much more confident in considering an Impreza.
I looked through the forum, but did not find any pointers to honest and competent Subaru mechanics in the Twin Cities area. While I'd like to get working by myself on my car, I'd be the happier knowing that a fine technician is on hand as a back up.
Would appreciate any references/recommendations.
I look forward to learn, contribute and share the enjoyment of Subaru ownership and driving on this forum.
Cheers.

[SubaruKid]

Welcome i hope u enjoy ur subaru as well as being on this forum

[AWDimprezaL]

welcome, and for knowlegable mechanics i work with two (at morries minnetonka subaru) driftin240 is a subaru mechanic, subytek is one as well (actually they are brothers) and they are the ones that are building my motor, 6mtizzle has his car worked on by them often. as do alot of other people, wrxboy2003 owns a mineke, he does great exhaust work, for a reasonable price, so this site is littered with knowledge, you just cant see it ;)

[Torc]

not plannin on moddin but would love to meet up with anyone willing to talk cars

[99legacy]

hi everyone!!
i am new to the group (joined like 2 days ago) i own a 99 legacy like the name says. i live in delano and i bought the car from my mom, she bought it new at morries minnetonka. really like the car and keep adding all the time, motor and all that is stock, but got a awsome sterio and cb radio (yes i said cb) look forward to meeting every one, and when is the next firesotne meeting would like to meet every one.

until next time....

[1SiKWaGoN]

Brand new to the forum and pretty new to Subaru too. I have been in the sport for quite some time though. I just recently sold my baby! A 94 built gsr turbo. You may have seen her around, here's what she looks like. I sold her to an 18 year old kid fresh out of hs, so I'm sure it will be blown up soon! lol..sad :emo:
I've always loved the WRX and have always wanted one. Not for serious upgrades, but for a dependable car that can be driven year round. My offer is currently pending at a small local dealer for an 02 wagon.
I'm looking to get to some meets and meet some new people with the same interests in cars. Nice to be here! Name's Dave by the way and I'm representing the south burbs.

Hey everyone, I've been a member for a few months but havent posted yet. I've just been doing alot of reading and learning. My wife and I were up at Firestone a month back with our black 04 wagon. You may remember the vette style exaust tip. It was good to put a few faces with names. Just figured I'd finally give a shout.

Yea I remember you. That was a nice exaust. You had the intake silencer removed and modified by you, right? I had the GPMoto elbow on my '05 STi. Welcome again. Finally going to be doing an exaust on mine soon too.

[jmullan]

I just got my third Impreza last night. I was kind of hoping to have a turbo by now, but you know how it goes.

[JeWrX]

Hey guys, names Kevin, just bought my first subaru. I purchased a 2002 Black WRX with 44,000 miles. I dont intend on doing any major mods, just some exhaust and taking out that ridiculous intake silencer. Hope to see you guys at firestone sometime.

When did you purchase the Subaru? I was trying to contact the guy that was selling a black one in Woodbury, but he never got back to me. Must've sold it to you first :)

Oh well, I ended up getting a blue 2003 WRX with 46k on it. First thing that needs to be done is to debadge it and take off the SUBARU on the trunk lid.

[JeWrX]

Tricky thing about the car, the guy was in florida the car was here and it was with his parents, however right after i got in contact with his parents his phone stopped working so thats why he probably never got back to you. Fun car, needed some work though. Definately worth the extra $$$ and time for a WRX though

[RiVeX]

Hey fellaz.....Just moved into the area, got a modded 04 STI silver.......... lookin to add some more parts, but havin a hard time finding local tunerz......I have some buddies that work for Cobb Tuning (that's where I came from), so it used to be pretty easy gettin parts and tunes, but I'm really not into driving across 4 states just for a tune......I'll be seein ya around

Sounds good :biggrin:

I actually haven't gotten my vehicle yet. I bought it in Washington and it's being shipped here. I got a great deal on it and the guy that sold it to me has a great reputation, so hopefully things work out. I just wanted a Subaru so I can have a winter vehicle and summer vehicle all rolled into one. My bagged S10 would of driven alright in the winter, but never took off my summer tires :banghead:

[vanddelor]

hey guys...newbie here...joined not so long ago...just put in a blitz exhaust...this thing is loud!!!...

Hi everyone...I'm new to the world of Subaru. I just got out of the service and back to MN to start my new life.
I got the new job, new car, and I'm shopping for engagement rings, but after cruising around the WRX for a month now I think its more important that I do some shopping for summer wheels and tires instead! I love these cars! Any suggestions?

Oh, and by the way, what is Firestone?

Hi fellow Subaru owners
My name is mark and I recently got a 1999 2.5 rs. I used to drive a 99 civic si until it was stolen. I am new to subarus and dont really know anything about them. I do know that it is way more fun to drive than the civic.

Oh and is it the firestone off university?

[Sogonerg]

Hey Mark, Welcome...Yes Firestone off University...I'm sure you'll meet Jason (readymix) there...Just go there have fun and introduce yourself.

[jubella2]

Who is this Jason. And i just read your thread about your spin out. Glad to hear your okay and i cant believe you didnt hit anything else.

[Sogonerg]

Jason is (readymix) 04 WRX Silver, he's a good guy, he is probably there every week. Just bring some DVDs, you'll know what I mean when you meet him and see his Rex.

Yea...The spin out was a thrill! =P...Luck was on my side, that is for sure...

[subaru4]

Jason his name on the forums is readymix. I think that it is a 2004 WRX Impreza, Silver

Hi. I have a stock 02 silver WRX that ive had since 01, but with kid raising and home owning I havent been forking additional money into my car. I just showed up to last weekends firestone meet and look forward to getting over there again.

I am going to be replacing my rotors/pads and catback exhaust this next couple weeks to start doing some AutoX. I will be trying to stay stock for a while but I am sure ill be asking for help soon enough when I get sucked into more modding.

[WRX1]

When you are ready to do the brakes, give Mark a call at deversified (frozenrotors.com). just tell him you are part of mnsubaru and he will hook ya up with our discount.

Yet another Newb.

Hi there, happy to have found this board, thanks to one of your members who shares my passion for going fast on two wheels.

I am a recent convert from a life long relationship with Volkswagen . . . for years I had operated under the World View that: if the pavement was not good enough to play on two wheels, it was to bad to play therefore motorcycles are for performance and cars are for when the weather is icky, groceries need getting, dog needs hauling, or other scenarios in which I was not going to be “playing”. In short, bikes are for speed and fun, cars are for utility and economy. I have had somewhat of a shift in worldview. I am viewing the Subaru as an opportunity to have my cake and eat it too.

So, I picked up a 2002 WRX Wagon, with plans to keep it as “stealth” as possible, minimize any mods that are visible from the outside, sporting benign silver, and hopefully stay off the cop’s radar . . . while having a little fun every now and again. My dog loves the space and I am very pleased with the car.

[jonny8852]

hi i am a lil new here. i bought a 02 WRB Wrx back in January. I love it. I live in the plymouth area. I have been readin up on all the forums and all of you have helped me a lot. But i just decided to introduce my self and say hi to everyone. thanks

Everyone has to start somewhere :). I have not tried that on a Suby yet.

Welcome.

its no problem, i still know nothing

[Wgp assassin]

hey everyone , im kc, I have an 05 RS, and im a subiholic.

[mnstilynwrx]

what up man, welcome

[carl]

guess i'll finally post here. I picked up an 04 STi about a month ago - great car, i love it!

i'm coming from the land of 240sx's, i have 2 at the moment (and they're for sale!). i've also previously owned a gvr4, and a jdm h22a swapped accord so i've been into a lot of different stuff but i'm a newb to subaru.

[Rathmysphs]

I'm in the market for a white 04 WRX that's always been stock and has low miles. I think I found one, I'm going to look at it on monday. Wish me luck. oh yeah, i'm some noob.

[Squiggly]

welcome hopefully you get it. if u have any questions about it feel free to ask.

[wrxjoe]

hello fellow suby fanatics, I just got into the suby scene about a year ago when I got my wrx it is an 03 in sonic yellow. I love to modify it and do all my own work. I also love to drive and mess with hondas. hope to see yall around. Iam moving to duluth for college this year and am interested in any clubs around there so if anyone knows shoot me a pm or whatever. thanks, Joe Olivieri:biggrin:

[1fastwagon]

Hey gang, after being away from subaru's for 9 months, I'm back. I picked up an 05 STi on saturday. Already having a ball with it. Glad to be back.

[Matchyne]

Been lurking since about April, when I ordered my subie. My 07 STi limited came in last wed. Still breakin her in, 500 miles to go! I am coming from a '02 rsx type s. Even when keeping the sti under the 4k limit its got some serious balls compared to the acura.

[1SIKWRX]

i havent been here for over a year.. glad to see the forums still doing good. im thinking about getting another MY02 or maybe the new STi. whatever my pocket can get..

-Johnni from MAS

[Bullwinkle]

I'm also one of those who has been lurking. Bought my 06 TR in May and have been enjoying every minute since. Just had the time to do some work on it recently. Am planning on only lightly modding it with a DP and AP (stage 2) in the coming months.

But I love perusing the forums, and am a member at wrxtuners and clubwrx as well. But..Hi!

[xturfoz]

just bought a 95 legacy wagon..... for my winter DD car. this is my first subaru car and AWD.

[wings_23]

Hey i am brand new, i have been waiting for them to validate my memebership. I have a bunch of probally silly questions about my car. I dont know much about it but i would like to learn. Does antbody get together in the winter tme. I have a 05 sti,silver, with no mods what so ever. I have to add some stuff to my wifes car before i can touch mine. First question is can i take out the airbox in the wheel well for a little louder turbo sound with out hurting anything?

[WRX1]

Yep, I think the airbox mod is probably the first thing that everyone does to their suby. Also, welcome to the site.

[subie4life]

I guess I'm pretty new to this site. I registered a while back, but I've only been on here once or twice. Im on Nasioc about 5 times a day however. It's about time I give this site some lovin. I love my RS wagon, but I really wish I would have sucked in up for the Rex the first time. I just couldn't justify the extra 5 grand at the time. I've probably put close to that into my RS so I should've just bought the damn Rex in the first place. Unfortunately my wife and I have an agreement that we will only have 1 car payment at a time. That means driving our cars for 8-10 years. She's due next. I'm going to try and get her into an FXT. Right now she has a turbo golf. My wife doesn't care about cars. Why should she get the turbos? Not fair.

[tmarc12366009]

You could always install TURBOS!!! ;)

I'm sure your car will love it!!!

[subie4life]

Yeah, I've definitely thought about it, but I've also read after market turbos on the RS are a bad idea. Clutch not meant to handle it, reliability issues, etc.

[tmarc12366009]

Yeah... Just a thought! I was trying to quench your turbo desire!!!

I'm sure you can have some fun with the NA RS though using that 2.5 litre engine for some goodies and some power increases!!!

Don't let the lack of a turbo hold ya back!

[subie4life]

Thanks...I'm not sure there's a drink strong enough to quench that thirst though. Even without the turbo I think the RS is a blast to drive. I put on perrin swaybars and that made a world of difference in the handling dept. I'm fine with the performance around town. I've got a 5 speed with a kartboy shortthrow and it's plenty of oomph for me for now. It's just on the highway in passing situations that I'm left wanting more! Something to look forward to...

[PRA4SNO]

Just signed up tonight. I've been a member on rs25 for almost 2 years now. Just picked up my second sooby after my old one got t-boned.

I'll be rockin' a 99 2.5rs, soon to be aspen white. I've got an 01 rear end conversion, and thats pretty much it. Its been a build up project, and will hopefully be in and out of paint fairly soon now.

heh. something WAS wrong.

[tangledupinblu]

what's up to all fellow lovers of fast! new to mnsub, but not a stranger to the 02 bug eye. still stock under the hood:biggrin: but i love showing off what subaru put together for a base. got hung up on a curb lately:emo: , kinda burned the clutch a little. wondering if anyone with a little mechanical experience on 02's could take it on a ride with me to check it out. i live in brooklyn park and i'm working nights from 6 to 230. anytime before 5 would be good.

[Underhill]

Hey all, not much time to type now, just picked up a silver 04 Sti out at Brooklyn Park Subaru, I know a little about the car, any info would be great.

Welcome... you should go to Firestone (University and Snelling approximately) tonight. You could probably learn a lot about the car. That is where most people meet.

I am fairly new to the group too and have learned a lot from the people that go there on Friday nights. Some go on Sat too but I hear it is a very light crowd, to the point of almost no one there sometimes. Fridays are the best night to go for sure. I should be leaving Buffalo in about an hour and a half myself.

[badbennyb]

Congrats on the car! I've checked it out a few times. Hows the Espelir exhaust sound?

[Underhill]

Love the exhaust, I could use some snow tires though, summer tires wont work well in the snow Im guessing.

[1meanrex]

what up guys. I just want to peek in and say im new to the board. Been on Nasioc and IWSTI for a while but not on here. Just found out about this from searching the web. You'll probably see me around Edina alot(I work at the Holiday there)stop by and say wats up if ur around, and you might even get to see Charlie Luthers Sti.:laugh:

Hello,

Name: Mark / Forest Lake, MN.
Ride: 2007 STi Limited #407 of 800

Just traded in my 2005 Evo GSR w/sun, sound leather package for a brand new 2007 STi Limited in UGM. Enjoying every minute of it so far and after owning 2 EVOs (2005 MR, 2005 GSR w/ssl) it's been an enjoyable switch to the "DARK SIDE".

LOL, love the low key look...

Here are a couple pictures of it -
