    Just bought a 2002 wrx for a dd/winter car so I figured i'd join the site. I live up on the iron range in Hibbing.. The car has a downpipe, cobb tune, apexi exhaust, aftermarket clutch of some kind, 17 inch rota rims, a tial bov and is lowered an inch and a half. Also the car has been painted a dark gray color (supposedly a mazda color) anyways I'm loving the car so far and i'm looking forward to learning more about it.

    Welcome to the site! There's a few members up in that area that post here regularly. Are you going to the Ojibwe Forest Rally in the Bemidji area next week? They could use some volunteer help, and it's a great way to get close to the action!

    I would love to go to the rally that would be fun but I need a little more warning than a week haha. Keep in mind I just bought my wrx on Tuesday so this is a while new world for me. Another thing I should mention is that my summer toy is a 2001 mustang gt with the normal bolt ons, 4:10 gears, exhaust, programmer, 18 inch wheels and lowered 2 inches. I'll try to get some pics of both cars up this week

    My name is Kirk, I'm assuming this is Ben? And I like any car that's nice regardless of what it is.

    Welcome to the site! I have seen you around before. That's a sick car and a really sick color. Also, I have seen your Mustang parked in front of your house (I think). You have the Mustang that says "Redline Oil" on the bumper, correct? I have a 2000 Obsidian Black Legacy GT Wagon with an underbody light kit ( THANK YOU LEDGlow!!!!). I enjoy it. Anyways, welcome to the site. I'm sure I'll see you around.

    This car used to live close to me in Duluth, I think.

    Is that where you bought it from?
