    Hey everyone! My name is Tim and I just got out of the Honda game basicly because I totaled my del sol. Before that I had a 00 SI. I now have an 04 WRX and an 06 Suzuki GSXR 600. I got the WRX because its all around a fun car to drive year round. And I got the bike to go fast and race occasionally. I'll be on the forums asking a lot of newbie questions because I need to know everything there is to know about my ride. I will also be making a lot of discrete modifications that will make my car unique.

    Good choice getting outta the honda game. I just sold my '99 SI. I was sick of wondering when it was going to get stolen. Welcome

    Hi i just joined about a month ago, i enjoy every minute of drivin in my 03 rex. I was told that you once you join you get club stickers and save money on parts and labor and was also wondering about the subaru meets. i just bought a remote start from a fellow memeber and the transaction went smoothly and i he gave me some good advice.

    Hi everyone, I got an 04 WRX about 2 weeks ago. A huge upgrade from the Mazda Pickup I've been driving for the last ~9 years. I've been enjoying it A LOT and trying to learn as much as I can about these fantastic cars.

    It was nice to meet you on Sat. For sure go to FS. Just walk up and start talking to people. Sometimes it takes a little time but FS is a good place to meet people.

    HELLO!!! I'm new to the Subaru scene hitting up University every Friday and Saturday night hopefully I will meet some of you there. First of all I drive a 2000 Saturn sl2 and a Porsche 928s4 with forged internals and a custom p1 supercharger kit pushing 25psi and 550whp. I'm posting because I am selling my Saturn and buying a 99 wagon hopefully =) I plan on doing up the whole deal not only to learn but to work on the car as well. Ive already talked to readymix, Fuji and a few others and can't wait to start in on it..

    hi my names edgar dont remeber if i introduced myself but visiting minnesota for the 2nd time this summer and thought id see if theres anyone around the detroit lakes area.

    i have an 03 bugeye, swapping the engine before i head out there :biggrin: ... not much done now other then my cams, headers, intake and the exhaust. altitude blows since the fastest i can run up here now is 16.53... and wrxs run low 15's. just shouting out let me know if anyone lives in the area, it would be cool to cruise around with some suby guys while im up there.

    Hi everyone,
    I'm new to the forum, and around for the summer. I came from Maine (we got a great subaru community there) and will be in minnesota on and off for the next few years getting a masters degree at the university of St. Thomas. Right now I am driving my 97 white OBS, but back home is my 2000 BRP RS coupe. I home to make it to a meet or an auto-x while I'm in town this summer. And I am hoping to be in the State for a winter and participate in MN's legendary ice racing!
    See ya,
    Joe

    Hello all.

    Just noticed that after a month of lurking here I hadn't intoduced myself.

    I moved to the cities recently for a new job and picked up my new STI from Peter at White Bear shortly after that, and he directed me here.

    I shouold hopefully be able to make it to Firestone nights pretty frequently.

    You all seem to have very cool cars. I'm a die-hard Toyota fan that just bought his first Subaru. I've always heard good things. I picked up a 2000 Outback and if it is like any other car I've ever had....many projects to come:) Looking forward to getting to know you all. Btw, what the **** is the [pm] button?

    I know I'm such a nub right?

    Hi my name is.... and I drive a Subaru.

    Hey new to the forum, been driving a Subaru for I think almost four years. Time flies when you enjoy your ride.
    04 WRX and I am just now thinking of doing upgrades to it. Is that lame or is it all good to take the time?

    Hello everyone...I have previously posted some threads, however never fully introduce myself. I have met some of you, through my brother...yosmiley. I am not really a computer person, personally can't figure how they really work. Considered myself fairly knowledgeable about cars, but after reading some threads, y'all make me want to learn more. Currently have a 02 WRB WRX with a 99% paint peeled hood scoop, Invidia CBE, K&N short ram/CAI. But have the need for more speed and power. When first got car, thought it was nice and fast already, 3 years ago, now feels too plain. If y'all see me on HWY, please don't make me feel bad that I got an average WRX. Thanks. Anyways nice to have converse online with many of you, very helpful!

    Hi everyone!

    I just bought a manual Subaru Impreza wagon, and I love it. I wish I could have afforded a WRX, but I figured I could still improve it's performance to my satisfaction. Unfortunately on the Subaru website I had trouble finding certain things that I hoped I could change with my car, and I'm kinda scared that I didn't do enough research before I made my purchase.

    I noticed they had the option of upgrading exhaust and intake for a WRX, but not for my car. I hope not, but is it not possible upgrade those things on my car? So far the only thing I'm really interested in that I see is the short shifter.

    Once last thing... is it normal for my RPMs to run at 3000/sec while steadily keeping at 70mph? It just seems a little high to me since I'm not accelerating.

    Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!
