    Hey Everyone,

    My name is Aaron. I'm 28 and live in downtown Minneapolis. About a month ago I bought my first Subaru, an '08 Aspen White STI. So far I'm loving it!

    My previous car was a 2002 Audi A4 3.0 Tip. Quite a big difference between the two. Also, the STI is my first manual and I'm still getting the hang of it.

    See you guys around, wave if you see me :biggthumpup:

    Here's a couple of pics:

    Thanks for welcomes everyone!

    I should be able to make it down to University a couple of times this summer.

    Sooner than later I'll pick up one of those membership cards and will have to get some stickers at some point as well.

    Tell me more about this STI conversion?

    Hello all,

    I'm David and live in the western burbs. The desperate need for a new daily driver and a burning desire to go rallyx have conspired to make me the owner of a 01 Impreza L coupe. I've probably crossed paths with some of you at BIR or RA, I'm the #255 Boxster guy at the Nord Stern ( and occasional NASA ) track days.

    Hey guys. I just bought my 08 WRX a couple weeks ago. Like supercooloptw, I also made the switch from an Audi and am an MNAudi transfer. I have already exchanged hellos with a couple friendly Subie drivers and look forward to seeing you all out there.

    Hey all, just thought I'd break the seal and make my first post. This place is all wheel drive heaven! I've owned my "Big Hatch" since April and so far loving most of it. No mods YET :(. This spring/summer I plan to make a few power and appearance mods. btw does any one know of any place that sells aftermarket headlights (projectors, cf, etc) for '03 Legacy? I've been searching forever and can only find oem. I need this car to look less "soccer momish".
    later,
    DJ

    Welcome!, try joining one of our headlight "baking" days, and pull that orange out of the corners, it should liven things up a bit ;)

    for the headlights, do what was mentioned above, then add some apexcone HID inserts from DDMtuning.... not sure how the light pattern would be though

    thanks for the ideas. headlight mods, some mesh grill inserts, window tint, and some 17" or maybe 18" rims should spice things up a bit.

    Hi, I'm Jenny. I've been looking at this site for a while (over my husband's shoulder) but I finally decided to become a member. I drive an 08 WRX. It's my first subie and I like it very much. I'll try to post pics later.

    First Subaru, last season I raced my Acura TL Type S just to get into the Auto-X, and I am super-stoked about racing a real race car this year. Just got my new race tires in the mail today, and I can't wait for it to get warm so I can really play!

    The stock tires on the 08 are HORRIBLE in the snow!

    You should do much better in STI this season :)
    I used to autocross Honda Civic (green turbo civic) but never got a chance to try my WRX, maybe this year.

    Hey everyone, my name is Mike (obviously) and looking to get myself into a WRX. Been a DSM person for about 5 years now and decided I was sick of working on my car every other week so looking into Subarus now to be a fun DD vehicle.
