New Guy / Future Mods

This thread! HAHAHA

 

I tries. i tries.

 

You'll find this site to be a good resource when you start looking at performance upgrades for the sake of actual performance. You're not going to find much depth of experience or people who share your taste in the type of "visual mods" you're after. This group isn't big on form over function. Especially when the "form" in question squarely nails a bevy of horrible 90's ricer stereotypes along with a few ignorant redneck stereotypes thrown in for good measure, complete with flippant attitude.

More power to you for doing what you like. That said, be prepared for a similar reception from just about any Subaru enthusiast forum community. You might like mnsportcompacts.net.

 

This is all that is important.

Zero didn't own this car

see im sure the majority of people here are great grp of guys. that said i try to never put people down or attack their interests. but definately will throw the attitude switch if targeted. i guess i was working for most of the 90's and missed alot of the stereo types. im assuming the redneck thing refers too the Radio coms or the Small arms im firm believer if we all Carried there would be alot more dead bad guys. . Other than the Led or the vinyls id say the list i made was a good set of functional things. Im looking for some guys too get to know and have a good time. eventually when that warranty expires or the wife buys her Outback she wants ill get to the power mods i want where mechanical know how will def be appreciated. i figured this be a good place too do the whole introduction thing and shoot the BS. Im a old fashion guy this prolly only 3rd forum i ever posted on. more used too talkin face to face having a drink at a BBQ or something that way i could tell hey this guys bustin my chops having fun or hey need to shove teeth down dudes throat. hard to tell online right ? Over all this community is a good 1 im looking forward too meeting some peeps at the rally cross in Cannon Falls or the Charity thing in St Cloud Me and my Wife are trying to see if we can attend ATM. She does 24/7 daycare so her schedule is king. I suppose a guy could throw a piece of dynamite into a crowd but ill just go with hey all nice to meet you.

 

That works. I think you'll find it's a pretty laid back group overall, particularly in person. We're also smart-asses with decidedly dry senses of humor. Say hey if you hit the S4B cruise. I'll be the festively plump bald bastard.

There are a good many members that you can talk firearms with all day long. Most of them would prefer fewer dead people in general, but I'm sure you can find a kindred spirit in there somewhere. You're going to be hard pressed to find one with a burning 'merkan flag on their ride though.

 

Just don't take anything too serious here and you'll be fine.

 

yeah im lookin forward too meetin some people i been in the truck for so long havent hardly visited with anyone over a decade im a touch introverted and a lil on the defensive side in general when it comes too meeting new people. Its not that id like to see more dead people in general, just the real bad 1's lol. St cloud has a good size gravel lot out back so im sure thats where everyone will be a parking.

 

yeah i suppose i dont need those lights i been thinking bout those they prolly be a maint head ache in the long run. still thinking about ditching the wing tho i wonder how much that would cost too remove and clean up the trunk lid IE fill in the bolt holes and paint match

 

There are a number of folks running around with wing deletes. Normally they just buy a new/used wingless trunk.

 

That's going to be hard to do with his paint color

 

White vinyl is hard to keep clean.

 

This thread makes me think of this:

 

never thought of that could just buy new trunk lid

 

well its 470 bux for a diferent trunk lid with only primer on it. and 429 for a small paint matched WRX style spoiler. have too check on cost of filling those holes and matching yet.

 

A very insightful read. That said attempting too break the ice in any community after a period of social isolation like 12 yrs in a truck is difficult for myself and what better way than jump into the fire i guess. Knowing what you want or how to do it or even if your sure you want what you think you do is hard thing also ive had my car only a few weeks. And know that ive had a chance too sit back and think about it trolls have their purpose and after reading thru the thread again you guys arent all that mean or attackish just as you said pointing out thing you percieve as bad taste perhaps so im gonna take another look at my list and get out the eraser on some things as you guys have helped to provoke thought b4 money was spent and entertained while doin it ill say thanks alot.

 

It sounds like you're interested in learning what's out there. There are a couple "last of the season" shows going on this Saturday that may be worth your while to hit the cities for.

First there's Cars & Coffee early in the morning.
http://mnsubaru.com/threads/official-mn-c-c-cars-and-coffee-cafe-meet-up-thread.36065/

Then RKC is having a big ol' "show" in Plymouth in the afternoon:
http://www.facebook.com/events/388727847860934/

You'll likely be able to see a little bit of everything at both of those shows, including a few "that guy" examples. I have little doubt one or both of those events will give you some options to consider.

 

Pretty much decided Vinyl is not gonna happen all the shops in my area pretty much see it as cheap advertising and dont want too even attempt to do it on a car like mine for fear of ****ing it up they said. So any visual changes will be done Via paint collecting ideas atm in regards to that. I like the stock color but hey Even tho its suposed to be limited its not unique enough yet.

 

DIP YOUR CAR
This is always an alternative to vinyl if you really want to change something

 

Sat is gonna be a bad day for our family son passed on oct 6 5 yrs ago and still a rough day with the wife, but maybe a trip could perk things up a bit. ill try too convince her. keep her from dwelling on it maybe. she holds on to things like that a lil more than i do.

 

ive actually considered the suspension mod thing and i think id want to go up a inch. Im into go fast too, but more over the hills and thru the woods sideways goin 90 type of guy lol. my first 02 wrx was slammed and it used too scrape alot on driveways ect used to make me cringe. Figure even if i did like a 1-2 inch lift or hmm buy a dial it in style i could go up or down then. well anyway i like fast in a str8 line on tar and fast sideways thru the dirt. ah hell fast is fast and fun regardless. Id like to go to some of these meets though lots of food for thought there i bet.

 

You could do worse for a pleasant distraction. C&C is arguably the biggest/best show in the state save for perhaps Back to the 50's. Though it has become considerably more ricey lately, there is still a good representation across a whole slew of car cultures. This weekend is your last chance at it until next spring/summer. Fall colors aren't bad either.

 

This thread is good for the lulz, but let's be real. Shouldn't this be in the "Welcome Mat" section, if anywhere? Also OP, cleaning up your grammar and spelling will get you a little further towards universal acceptance.

 

Happen to have any pics of your '02?

 

ive been reading that the forester platform is a stretched STI and alot of the parts just bolt up last article i saw was in regards too the 08 models will have to look into it for the foresters from 2011. 1 thing for sure its still hard to get used to driving a car from a semi the height diference and accel. used too have the truck governed at like 68 so id just put my foot down to the floor and leave it there all day, do that in the car next thing u know ur flying previous car i traded in chevy cruze rs accel wasnt so steep big power dif so id notice right away b4 i got in trouble, the subi says weeeeeeeee lets go.

 

You sir are probably correct but i finger peck when i type i have crippling arthritis so i use just my pointers to type. as far as grammer correction yeah thats not gonna happen im set in my ways and long as peeps get the jist of the msg im happy with it if your not can always block me if your a english teacher or something. My bad grammar might hurt ur eyes. Hell sometimes i even surprise myself with what comes out of my fat fingers. Getting some feed back here on some ideas and meeting people at the same time. so far as forum location goes dont really know. mods have god power and can move it if they think it got too far off topic not looking for universal acceptance just general, bad spelling FTW.

 

no that was many cell phones ago and i didnt even own a camera then unfortunately it was silver and sat in the garage or parking lot at work while i was gone in the semi.

 

Spend every possible penny on mods to make it as fast as you can go.

The end

P.S. if you wanted to do gay stuff like TV screens and sub woofers buy a 300c like every other retard.

 

Fixed

 

Yeah i already want to drive in it but gotta get a helmet a 8 channel radio well i may have the radio some where but the wife isnt wanting the car to get that dirty lol. we have hotel reserved tho so we will be down there on the 14th to vist and watch unless something bad happens . I think you are required to work the track in order to drive on it tho not sure id be much use in the regard. well i suppose i could shake my cane at people and yell ' You kids stay off my track'

 

got 1 sub already and dvd/nav/xp/ect already, must be a chrysler i was wondering why they wanted to finance my car now i know.
