    Hey guys new to the forum and subaru world and figured id introduce myself. My name is Tyler im 19 and live in Blaine. Just bought my first real subaru a couple weeks ago which is a 2011 sti. I have a 92 svx as a daily/beater right now also. The sti is mostly stock besides a accessport and exhaust. Before i bought this i was into mitsus. Ive had several dsms and figured it was time to move onto bigger and better. Hope to meet alot of cool guys and learn alot more about these cars.

    You are strongly mistaken when you state that you're moving onto bigger and better. haha

    Oh dang your not the guy selling the blue gst converted shell are you? my buddie was thinking about buying it to throw his built 7 bolt in, but he blew it up last night. He's got coolant in every cylinder so he's hoping it's just a head gasket.

    Welcome Tyler. Im up in Ham Lake. You may see me once in a while around Blaine but mostly Im driving to work in Anoka lol. Ill keep a eye out for you. Youll also know my car when you see it too lol 02 wagon with the hood plasti dipped with headers to a catless downpipe straight back to a flowmaster 40. The look of the fart cans dont do it for me so I went with the flowmaster and havent regretted it yet lol. Ive been trying to get a north metro meet up going somewhere but havent really gotten many takers but check out the events thread with the weekly Friday meet.
