    The die hards are there every friday for the most part. I would like to make it more often then I do but with the planning of a wedding my time gets taken up real fast.

    Welcome to the club.
    FYI: I was unable to view the pic, not sure if it is me or what.

    Well Hi ya'll!

    While I don't have a Subaru, I have the utmost respect for them. I almost bought a WRX a couple years ago but ended up getting a 2003 A4 1.8TQM instead. My buddy is parrot and he just bought a brand spankin new Impreza 2.5.

    I like tromping around in the snow (AWD rocks) so maybe I'll run into one or two of you guys when the white stuff falls :D. Or I'll figure out what this Firestone thing is all about or maybe go up to the ice races. Anyway I'll see ya around!


    I recently put together a bunch of pictures for my 1000th post on MNAudi so I'll just repost that here. Each link goes to a photo album and I've posted one selected shot from each album.

    Hello

    Hey, names Nick. I have a 05 silver wrx with standard factory upgrades but im goin Cobb stage 2 asap. I live in Hastings but i go to school in Salt Lake. I dont know anyone in my town that drives a subaru, (except for one kid i went to high school with but Ive got issues with his punk a**). I just randomly found this sight and figured i check it out. Im usually on clubwrx.net. Just figured id say whats up.

    Oh, where does everyone buy their parts from. I was going to buy mine from Rally Sport Direct (because its 20 min from where i live). But I would rather not have to drive back to MN with them.

    Billy Bones Guest

    hello-

    My name is BIlly and I'm the proud new owner of a '05 silver sti. Only
    had 4-5 months now, but am racking up the miles and smiling constantly!
    I work in Minnetonka and commute back and forth from St. Cloud.
    So having a sweet ride really helps after those long crappy days.

    I haven't modified anything yet- but can't wait to start. I hope to go on
    some upcoming subie trips this spring summer.

    Any advice on cat back exhaust systems ? up and down tubes etc.
    I don't want to radically mod till warranty is up- which shouldn't take
    long with my current mileage. later- subies rule the road...........

    Welcome aboard Billy :D

    How is that driving working out for you?? If I were you I would get a beater, the mileage will kill your car (not to mention your wallet $$$)

    I use to work with a guy who also live in St Cloud...after a year and putting about 50,000 mile on his car, he finally call it quit.

    Good luck

    New to MnSubaru

    Hello all, I'm new to the site, and as of last week, new to owning a Subaru. I picked up an 04'wrx-wagon w/ Cobbstage1 ecu package already installed and am considering a new exhaust. I was looking on the Cobb site and it looks like I have a few options Cat-back or turbo-back.

    I was wondering if anyone has any opinions/preferences in this area. Certainly I don't want to do anything that will *hurt* my Scooby so exhaust is about all the farther I'm willing to go. that and maybe suspension/rims.

    Just wanted to say whats up, new to the site, work for Morries Subaru Mtka. Just returned from Knoxville TN from picking up my 04 STi that had 9000 miles on it. Had a little help from a few members of this board getting up here to MN, looking forward to some trouble with the new car and doing a few mods.

    welcome

    Any bell mouth exhaust of quality will do. (helix,invidia as ex.) Expect to find out what boost creep is. The uppipe is not needed on the sti till you put some power to it.

    Hey everyone

    My name is Matt and I have been reading around on these forums for a while but have never got around to posting anything. I recently got a silver 05 wrx and I just bought an Invidia N1 exhaust. Hopefully more to come in the future. I went down to firestone tonight and got to see some of you all. I live over in woodbury and hope to get out to Firestone more often.

    hello!

    Hi everybody. I'm Larry from the Oakdale/Maplewood/Woodbury area. So I finally joined the forums, but I picked up an 06 Impreza 2.5i in regal blue pearl about a month ago. I love it. And I took it out for her first snow last sunday and did donuts in some parking lots.

    Just joined the board. I've been on bbs.legacycentral.org for a while. I'm up in D town (Duluth) where the roads swallow whole cars :eek4:

    I've got quite the project going. I've got a '93 Legacy L AWD 5MT. Last spring I picked up a motor out of '91 SS (turbo Legacy). She's getting the complete makeover with Wiseco pistons (.020 over), Eagle rods, redone heads with cams reground by Delta, decked, all seals with new water and oil pump. I got the bottom end balanced with the pressure plate and flywheel. 650cc JECS injectors, Walbro pump with an intercooler from Spearco measuring 26x6.5x3.5 will handle the boost from a Garrett GT2871R w/ .86 A/R turbine. It will be a rotated mount setup to straighten out my plumbing. For EM, I'm looking at the Link Plus G2 to go with the Zeitronix wideband w/ EGT & boost sensor I already have. STi Group N engine & tranny mounts button her down. Its all being fed through a '05 STi transmission, clutch and flywheel, with 8k miles.

    For suspension, I'm running H&R street coilovers, STi Group N strut tops, Whiteline anti-lift kit, energy suspension kit, SuperPro steering rack, rear lateral link, differential support and tranmssion support bushings. I picked up a lower H brace as well. My brakes are the Racing Brake 4pot setup w/ Hawk pads and Goodridge lines. I'll upgrade the rears to the vented Turbo Legacy setup, with decent pads and rotors.

    I'm gonna shift the radiator back using some SPAL fans, so I can put the IC behind the headlights. My AC has been toast since I hit a deer a year and a half ago, so no worries about that. The lower radiator support is pretty mangled, so that needs to be replaced. The center support is getting tossed and I'll just run two locking hood pins.

    I just need to get the EM, and a few odds and ends like a matching rear diff, WRX/STi clutch and brake pedals with clutch master and slave cylinders(since mine is a cable), IC plumbing, new hood, front fenders, BOV and what not.

    Its a lot of work, but should be worth it for one hell of a sleeper.

    That's awesome. I'm up in your area (ashland to be exact). We meet everyonce and a while at the firestone near the mall. But it really is everyonce and a while. My car is currently taken apart awaiting a stroked 2.2t so we're probably going to have some fun when you get it all done :)

    Nice. You gotta love the interchangability of Subaru's. Whether it be suspension, driveline, or engine parts, there is alot that carries over from year to year. Wiring is a different story, unfortunately. But seriously, its amazing how little these cars have changed since Subaru introduced the Legacy. :cool:

    I totally know what you mean, my friends always laugh at me when I tell them I'm using a block out of a 91 legacy, 01RS heads, and a STi Crank. Gotta love it :)

    <----- Also a Subie Newbie!
    Owned a 2004 Silver WRX for about a month now and am lovin it! I bought it from another member and he recommended the site for any questions, comments, and insight. Only mods to my new Subie are STI catback exhaust and STI short throw shifter. I plan on a few more mods, but really am new at this... :-(

    Any suggestions on next steps i should take are always welcome! :)

    Been dreamin about these since the old Gran Tourismo years!!! Now it's MINE!
