New to the scene!

hello! been on the site a few times before, finally a member. just purchased a blue 2002 impreza wrx couple weeks ago. Loving it a lot! located in st. paul but commutes to uofm in mpls. been getting a lot of help just reading stuff on here. planning to spend a lot more time on here and nasioc.

 

Welcome.

 

Welcome! Pictures? Mods? Plans?

 

a few scratches here and there. previous owner bumped into something, scratches and bents to the front bumper. after market intake, exhaust, hood scoop, has turbo timer, all came in the car when i bought it. rebuilt engine by David Wray Auto in buffalo, mn. the guy i bought it from gave me all receipts for it also. new engine has about 27k miles. engine and transmission has 140k miles. I've only had this car for a little over two weeks! Put in new brake pads and rotors. the guy i bought it from included the rear brake pads and rotors and a set of 17' oz rims and a aftermarket front bumper. nice bundle with the car! this will be my daily driver. planning to settle into stage 2 by next spring! shopping for winter tires at the moment then performance tires for summer. also looking for some side markers (hence in the photo). any suggestions welcome!

 

Get rid of the intake, get an uppipe. Also get a downpipe if your exhaust isn't a full turbo back. Also I'd get a tune. PM NFperformance for that.

 

definately looking for a tune. it is a cold air intake.. planning to get new uppipe and downpipe and a full new turbo back. just still shopping around..

 

Ok that's not so bad, I was thinking short ram.

 

Hi. I have an '03 WRX wagon and I have a tire recommendation for you if you want to save some coin. I am on my second set of Yokohama YK520s and I have found them to be an excellent choice for all season driving. They have good adhesion and low noice in summer and have plenty of tread to handle the MN winter. As a bonus, they also have excellent tread wear -- I got about 60k on my last set.

Thanks. will look into it.
