    I have a 2002 WRX and I want to add a couple things to it. I'm thinking of adding a gauge pod to replace the clock, a new exhaust, and a short throw shifter. The only upgrade I've ever done [when I say done I mean Dave did it and I helped where I could] was breaks. Frozen Rotors, new pads, steel break lines.

    I really want to keep learning, so I'm wondering if anyone would want to actually go through stuff with me and show me some things.

    If you're willing, and have a bit of time, let me know. Let me know how much you would charge or if you'd want to trade for photography...

    Thanks!
    Matt

    location.

    Right... I suppose I should have put that I'm in Minneapolis. I'm thinking the 2nd or 3rd week of January. I live in a Condo that has a huge garage and we could take it over, but I don't have the tools, hoist, etc...

    Thanks for the comments on the photos. It's a fun job.

    i've got a current "project" that needs finishing (supercharging my non-subaru car- should be done after this weekend) but after that we could help you knock that stuff out in the apple valley area just about any weekend day.

    I could always help you on a saturday...no charge...maybe beeeerrrr.

    short throw is like a 20 minute job and I can help you with exhaust as long as it isnt up or down pipe. gauge pod is a little more work.

    wow, I'm jealous :eek3: my skills won't outgrow my 30D for a long, long time. I could probably help you out too - I'd rather talk photography though :biggrin:
