    Hey all. In the real world, my name is Shane. I'm brand spanking new to the Subaru world. I'm trading in my 1.8t GTI this afternoon for a STi Limited, and am wicked excited! I'll try to keep the noob questions down to a dull roar!

    Hey guys! I'm from Eagan, just bought a 2006 WRX TR in October. It's my first Subaru and I love it!

    http://mnsubaru.com/forums/vbgarage.php?do=view&id=1405

    Threw some of the black logo'd Rallyarmor flaps on there right away to protect it from these MN winters, and just ordered a (used) Subiegal dash pod and MadDad boost gauge.

    I'd love to hook up with one of you guys who's into the OpenECU scene, I have been a PC tech and played with open source software for many years, and the chance to get to monitor and flash my ECU to at least get rid of a little bit of the 'stutters' in 2nd and 3rd gear would be fun.

    I'll definitely be catching up with you guys at Firestone sometime, I have been going to University cruising with the classics for as long as I can remember.

    You work at Morrie's mtka? I was hoping to find a local Subie dealer who can get me a deal on some winter floor mats (if you recommend them)... I work literally right down 394 from Morrie's, at hwy 100 & 394. I'd love to stop by and talk shop if you get a chance.

    It was alot of fun. Too bad my car was pretty much stock when I did it though. O well I will hopefully really be ready for it this spring. I did get to ride along for 2 laps in another AF guys 04 STi. The guy had a season pass and was amazing, the best ride of my entire life. He was passing porsches like they were nothing.

    you can't use HTML code here. You have to use BB code. Take the http://.... and surround it with IMG tags.

    Edit...Apparently, I can't show you the image tags.

    Hey guys, my name is Shane. I'm from RI, I browsed this bored every now and then. Some may know me on other Subaru forums. I mostly am at SL-i.net. I was a proud owner of a 97 Legacy GT until recently. I'm looking to get a 1st gen Legacy turbo (either 93-94 SS).

    Here is the last pic my car looked great!

    This is what it looks like now.

    Hi Guys,

    I went to the ice races with mlgez. My name is Bob. I don't have a Subie... YET. Maybe someday. Had fun at the event so I figured I should join the message board.

    C-Ya, Bob

    Word...the car really isnt that bad...Its kinda cheaply made. I havent had any problems with it...I just think AWD>FWD...No traction....Wrx seems like a fun car to mod especially now that the wrx has the 2.5 with the td04
