    From Massachusetts. I play paintball in pennsylvania regularly, snowboard and hike in new hampshire, and snowboard in utah and colorado.

    It's flat. :)

    Very good for flying model airplanes, though, so i can't complain too much.


    I'm out here for some machining training - there isn't much mfg. back home, and even fewer good programs for it. Then i'm going to try to go to school for aeronautical or mechanical engineering. Unfortunately, that career will probably take me even further from the snow and hills. :-/

    Hello. My name is Howie. I very recently purchased an '06 WRX and wanted to check out the site. I am a TC resident and manage an auto frame, body, and suspension shop.
    My WRX was purchased as a project. I hope to begin working on it in the next few weeks. Again, hello to mnsubaru members.

    Hi, I just recently joined but my husband has been a member for about 2 years. We used to have a 2004 WRB Wrx but sold when we had my little baby girl. Hopefully I'll have another one soon. I thought I should join since I work at Morrie's Brooklyn Park Subaru in Sales so I just wanted to say hi to everyone.

    Welcome man. In the summer we all meet up at firestone down on uni ave. In the winter some people show up, but not as many. Just look in the events section to see what's going on.

    New. Looking for some AWD action.

    I've been on here for about 2 weeks. I'm trying to get out of the honda scene. I'm still looking to buy a subaru, but my wife wants her 2008 Audi A4 first. So we'll see what happens. I've been on other sites such as MNSportCompacts. I know a few guys on here.. FujiK, mengocharged, seen Carl on here also (I'm 94Sohc on MNSC). Hope to know all of you guys.

    The best thing I ever did was sell my civic si and buy a wrx. I can actually drive places and not wonder if my car will still be there when I come back. I'd say sell that thing asap. :)

    Hi!

    Im new here.

    I have owned about 20 Subarus so far and im only 21 so needless to say I like the product.

    First off, my main toy.

    1993 Subaru Impreza L
    EJ207 built shortblock, bored 50 over, with USDM WRX heads.
    VF22 Turbocharger, port and polished
    Vishnu underdrive pulley, Short ram intake, CBM FMIC kit, CBM turbo back exhaust, Meth injection, cobb accessport with PDX base map (needs to be tuned bad), Nitrous intercooler spray, 840cc injectors, walbro fuel pump. Version 7 sti struts with megan springs, 2006 WRX front brakes, 2002 WRX rear brakes (till I get my 2pot adapters), BBS RK wheels, Cwest side skirts, rear skirts, STI aluminum hood, RA roof vent, sti grill, headlights and corners. STI taillights.

    This year I have bought a Version 6 front bumper, type RA front lip, and a carbon fiber front splitter to clean up the front end a bit. I have removed the rear sti wing and in its place will be a Mines GD replica spoiler (the lip one). As well the rear bumper is going to be re-done and the center exhaust will be no more. The roof scoop is now cut off as well but im leaving the RA hatch. Should be a much cleaner look this year. The wheels are also for sale as im buying a set of flat black rota SDX’s with the red stripe.

    Engine wise this year, I have picked up an STI 6spd to replace my WRX 5spd, Stage 3 clutch, light weight flywheel as well as a 2004 STI crate engine (0kms) that will be getting forged pistons and rods as well as titanium valve springs, retainers and supertech valves. May later in the season I will purchase a GT30R/35R turbo kit, time will tell.

    The entire car has been stripped down and everything was replaced with 2002 WRX components

    Second is my daily driver

    1998 Subaru Impreza L
    Green

    STI Version 6 front bumper
    STI Type-RA lip
    STI Version 6 Rear bumper
    STI version 6 rear spats
    STI version 6 side skirts
    STI version 6 front grill
    Sti version 4 rear spoiler
    STI version 7 struts
    coil over sleaves (yuck)
    STI version 8 Muffler
    2008 WRX shift knob/boot
    2002 WRX leather interior
    1993 Legacy SS Turbo 5spoke wheels (being refinished in bronze with a polished lip)
    STI tail lights
    STI cornerlights
    STI fog light covers

    I'll grab some pix of this guy later ;)

    I also have a 1993 Legacy SS Turbo that im building as a drift car. Not to much work has been done to this yet except for the cage, gutted, sound proofing stripped and I have the RWD center diff installed in on the tranny (tranny isn’t back in the car yet though :(

    Nice to see you're not 'all show, no go!" Powerful and beautiful...what a concept!;)

    Welcome, and I'm excited to see your cars sometime at Firestone.


    So, do you do your custom work? Or do you have a good body guy/mechanic?

    my father is actually my body man on the orange one, im no good with fiberglass. I have done everything mechanical on every car ive ever owned though. I like to go fast, the old guy likes to make it look good haha.

    The orange one hit a 12.42@ 112mph in the 1/4 last year but i really want a 10.99 with the gt35r set up if i go that far.

    i actually live in Toronto, Ontario, and i have NO IDEA what firestone is, but maybe an event I should make it down for? When is it? My gf and her brother both have WRX's so maybe we'll put together a cruise and come down?

    Firestone is just a place to meet at, usually on weekends for chat and giggles. Don't think you should drive that far for a 2-3 hour meet. :)
    Nice car though.
