    Hey everyone!

    I'm Ben and I just bought a new to me 2002 WRX wagon after 9 years of lusting after one.
    A big thank you to everyone who has posted here; I've been reading posts here and NASIOC for the past month and all the information really helped when it came time make a purchase.

    Since I can't leave anything alone I'm already looking for a new up pipe, down pipe, and cat back exhaust. It seems like the best place to start.

    I'll have initial pictures up after tomorrow night!

    Welcome to the site. There are a bunch of great tuners on here to help you with that mod list that you have already started. Make sure to upload some pictures of the new to your ride.

    Interesting how changing the roof rack setup really changes the look of the car as well. Is it currently lifted or dropped?

    Eh, I figured you'd get a lot of hate from the Nasioc hella-flush stanced crowd..I think it looks good though. Started following you too (wrx1986).

    You need beefier tires, front bar, and a winch.

    BEEFIER?! These barely fit as it is. I agree about the front bar and winch though
