Hey guys I sold my 05 Evo VIII about a week ago to pay my college tuition (UMD) and had some money left over so I picked up an 04 WRX last night. This forum looks like an awesome place and I can't wait to become a part of it!
Love it Chris you defiantly stay true to your title... Welcome to the boards... FYI less short random posts its somewhat annoying when i go to the new post page and i see 20 threads that you have posted in within the 2 minutes of each other.
Nick, I have no idea who you were talking to in your other post. lol But seriously, I'm sure you'll like the wrx, 04/05 are a good choice too, less issues than the bugeye but not the heavier pricetag that comes along with the 2.5 blocks.
Haha, it is a downgrade no question about that. I think I will enjoy it though, I'm loving the roar of the little ej20 though!
^^I 3rd this...I'm sorry to be annoying, I was trying to get my 25 posts so I could see/post in the for sale/wanted section of the forum (looking to buy a PSM STI spoiler and a PSM front bumper). I realize now that you need to be a member for a month in order to do this.:laugh:
And the 25 posts and 30 days is just to create a new for sale thread. You can see and respond to threads already posted and you can create your own WTB thread. Also, welcome to the forums. Russ
Holy spamz, Batman. I think I know who you are (did you have an srt-4 before the Evo?) Also, glad to see you found the Duluth thread Welcome to the site!
Haha yup, I think I remember you too! I had a red srt-4 that your friend looked at and test drove. He was convinced it had a blown head gasket a day or so after driving it for some odd reason but I ended up selling it shortly after to my brother anyways! Thanks for the welcome!
I was never convinced the head gasket was bad... When you find a butter knife under the hood of the car it does not inspire a lot of confidence. A couple of days later I bought my first Legacy down in the cities..
Oh, sorry bud I didn't know it was because of the butter knife (which can be useful for many things under the hood). I know you mentioned the head gasket through text though. Happy to hear you found a nice car though!
I prefer a nice butter knife when scraping a gasket off, it won't damage the metal your scraping and it's a long flat surface. Hey to each their own though.
you know what I prefer is a nice butter knife when spreading melted gooey butter on toast and then some grape jam, anyways welcome to the club.
Haha, that's true, I will rephrase that. When your a poor college student because of your Evo or WRX, you use whatever you can find.
not true wrx's can be found cheap as well as evos..and most college students are poor but some dont have responsibility at such a young age.
Thank you, yeah I've owned quite a few cool rides. I'm really happy with this WRX so far though, its a blast to drive in the snow!
I'm a 1G guy myself but in defense of 2G DSMs, there are some quick 7 bolt 4g63s out there that don't crankwalk. Sorry to hear you sold your evo though.
View attachment 24065 View attachment 24066 Well, I just changed all 4 rotors/pads today. Here's a crappy cell phone pic of my dirty new (to me) Subaru!
now that you say that i remember those wheels although the car I'm thinking of didn't have fog lights (not that you couldn't of added them)
I'm not sure if he was a member here, the fogs came with the car though. The fogs will be going soon though since the front bumper on the car has a good size crack on it and I found a decent deal on an STI bumper (as long as everything works out)!
Wasn't yours an auto though? This is a manual, the wheels are some ADR 17's which I don't like. They will probably be up for sale soon!
It does look VERY similar. I remember seeing this car somewhere, maybe evomn or mitsustyle when it was up for sale quite a few months ago!
