    Figured I'd post a newb thread and say a few things about my self.

    Name's Zach. I'm new to the subie game and forum, but not new to forums or cars at all. I picked up my 02 WRX back in October. Had a new baby in our life, I needed something with 4 doors and a reliable winter beater. I was looking at S4's originally but then I found my WRX for a good price and I bought it in stead. I don't know too much about subie's so I'm a retard when it comes to these cars yet. I know Kevin on the board here. With his 04 wagon with the sti swap. So far I'm loving the wrx as my daily driver.

    It's basically a stage 2 car. Has a Wall of TV tune and a few other goodies here and there. I'll get the actuall list up later when I remember it. :lol:

    Like I said, I wasn't new to cars. My summer toy is a redneck mobile 95 camaro Z28. Had it for 3 and a half years now Bought it bone stock minus exhaust done. Now it's a Heads/Cam/intake ect. car. It goes pretty well. I think I surprised Kevin in his wagon a while back. ;)

    Horse power is very addicting though as I'm sure you all know, and I'm in the works of building a 408LS stroker with a big snail hanging on the front of it. When the build is done I'm hoping for 8XX/8XX at the wheels, which shouldn't be hard at all with 408 cubic inches and a 96 trim hampster wheel.


    Here is the WRX: Sorry for the blurryness on the right side fo the image, I scratched the lens on my iphone4 camera. :mad:

    Here's the mullet mobile.- Also taken with my Iphone - pre scratched lens obviously. It's clickable.

    And here's an old video after the Cam went in and before the heads.:

    Welcome. Nice camaro too. Sounds like you've got some great plans for that motor. Don't be afraid to ask questions about your subbie here. There are a ton of nice people that can probably answer most of your questions :)

    Thanks! I had always had a liking for the wrx/sti's.. Honestly it's one of the only imports that I would buy. It's been a great car so far. I still say, I love my V8 on tap power far more then the little 4 banger turbo power, but it's definitely still a fun car. Now turbo v8 when it's done, I think the turbo 4 will not suffice my needs and I'll need to go big turbo in the wrx as well. Haha.
