    Well I'm finally getting around to introducing myself formally or whatever.. My name is Ryan which is probably pretty dang obvious due to the sign up of this sight being a little bit ambiguous, (asked for my name, not username, mods if it is possible to change that some how that would be awesome) I'm 20 years old and work full time, so before anyone goes saying or thinking oh it's another spoiled kid with a nice car just stop because that isn't the case. I think I'm one of the few people my age that chose not to go to school because I knew I couldn't make it through and didn't want to waste my time and money.
    Anyways onto the car stuff..
    I am the proud owner of a 2006 subaru wrx wagon. When I bought the car from right buy auto (they are on here) it was completely untouched un modded, the markings that are made at the factory were still on the oem bypass valve bolts. So about 20 hours into my ownership I purchased and installed a invidia divorced down pipe and n1 cat back (all catless) and also had nuke tune it.
    About 2 weeks later I installed a Injen cold air intake and got yet another nuke tune.
    I've got a turbo smart 50/50 bov on there right now so it's got all the noise making mods done..
    I also installed some red Rokblokz.
    Future plans,
    epic lowering springs off tmfs saabaru.
    Whiteline front and rear 22mm sway bars and kartboy end links.
    I also have some focal f04 rims with Yokohama yk580 tires on them off of my mazda that I will slap on this summer.
    Haven't decided if I want to do E or not this summer..
    Pictures...

    And the wheels that will be going on come spring.. If it ever comes that is.!
    If there's anything you do or don't like feel free to let me know.
    P.s. I know I may be annoying at points but I think that's just me... Get over it.
    If there is anything else you want to know, or see let me know!!!

    That was actually meant for you, because if I were a betting person id be rich right about now for betting you'd have something to say, I'm not entirely sure what I did to piss you off, or if you are being sarcastic and it's just not coming through to me. Whatever it is I guess I'm sorry? Let me know if you need a hug and to talk it out..

    Thank you, I've got an end goal in mind for a little more red and some black. Forgot to mention I bought it with 50k on it! I've been noticing flaws here and there but nothing horrible, mostly stuff on the hood, I think the car may have been used as a shelf or something for a while!

    Nice car.
    All you had to say is "I am 20" and most of the annoying-ness is understandable.
    Almost everyone is annoying at your age and at least you admit it.
    Can't hate if you pay for your own car habit. I wish I had a wrx when I was 20, but I probably would have wrecked it.

    He's kinda like the site whore.

    But he's a dick to everyone equally. That's why we love him.

    Welcome. I'll tell you like I tell all the new guys. This group is off there rockers. Close nit, fast to defend one another and not afraid to butt hurt each other feelings.

    The people who can't dish it usually goes back to there hondas, mazdas, or where ever you came from.

    Wrecked the mazda. Got it out of my system hopefully.
    image.jpg
    None of my pictures do it justice, but I rolled it driving out in Wisconsin on unfamiliar roads on the pitch black, un marked corner riddled roads, on snow tires.
    well I stay in St. Paul just off 35e and Maryland but I work in Minneapolis at a company called graco just off the Mississippi River and Broadway avenue, and I hangout at my girlfriends house in Lino lakes, and occasionally go out to my moms house in Hudson... So primarily I do a triangle between St. Paul Minneapolis and Lino lakes. Lol

    Not much off a difference is seen on and off the boards. Very dysfunctional and filled with sarcasm. If you're taking things to heart these may not be the droids you're looking for.

    I read something about the charge tube that the MAF is in needs to be a certain length (ideally close to stock). When you say "converted" does that mean you cut or bought a different one? Tune?
