    Hi everyone, I am Chen and just bought a wrx sti last week. First of all I would like to say thank you for letting me join this site. I'm new to Subaru and I will need some helps in the future, so I would really appreciate any feed back (good or bad) from everyone. Again, thank you.

    Of all the forums I'm on, this one has the weirdest group. But they are a close nit group.

    Thanks for all. When I was shopping for the WRX Sti, I did some reading on Ringland problem, it does scare me a little bit. I am saving now for the future but the car is under warranty and it's 100% stock. I won't do anything to it until warranty is over, because I don't want SOA to void my warranty.

    Welcome. I am one of the ones who NEVER planned on leaving it stock. It does come at a cost though.

    I'm afraid that would be my problem if I plane not to leave it stock, I am also trying to save some cash for the future when it breaks on me.

    Thanks man, I always like Subaru, especially STI, but just didn't have the money play. Because it ain't cheap to join the Subbie world, not like Honda. After 3 years of saving I was able to buy a STI, and I always wanted a brand new one because I am so new to this game and don't have the knowledge and money (at least not yet) to fix a car every year or whenever it breaks on me. So I got no choice but to buy a 2013 STI. It doesn't mean that it won't break but at least at that time I have enough money and knowledge to fix the car.
