    Hi all,

    i'm new to this site and to the world of subies too! I just picked up my 2005 2.5 RS on friday and love the car. i'm really looking forward to years of driving it. i was tempted big time by WRX's but found that i have a ton of fun in this thing, even with the lowly 2.5 :) there are so many little things about the car that just make me happy when i drive it. i can't wait to get out and autocross it! and the aftermarket...holy crap. my visa is going to BURN. i'm already looking at sway bars and exhausts....

    anyway, i'd like to try to make it to some get-togethers and meet some of you guys and gals. seems like this is a very friendly and helpful community. on to the super-played-out-parking-garage pics:

    thanks for the welcomes,

    i'd like to fit a nice exhaust on there, from the headers all the way to the axleback. a nice streetable sway bar setup and if i can find it, i'd love to put STi struts on it (i only want minimal lowering but a firm ride). probably a set of carbotech or ferodo front pads and a nice 17x7 lightweight wheel/tire combo. that's really it. suspension and brakes will be the focus at first.

    i commute quite a bit but i still like to autocross and drive on fun roads on the weekends, so i'm kind of trying to find a good balance for that.

    what? :rofl: were you trying to say "If you're looking for a great way to experience your new subie, be sure to sign up for the subaru challenge in Nov."? If so, I agree!

    So alex, you got the blackberry pearl? I got one too. It takes some getting used to but you will find it very simple down the road. I am planning on hitting up the iphone because I am a MAC guru and it cost me 45 bucks just to get the software to sink this phone up with my mac. It didnt even allow me to import music or photos so I am bout done with it. If anyone out there likes the pearl, I would definately consider selling it to you without a 2 year contract lol.

    O and for all you MAC guru's who want to know what that software is.
