    So i haven't bothered to make a journal because i had done nothing much to the car.

    I signed the papers on Nov 11, 2010. :clap: Bought from Gary at SoG.
    Was deciding between the WRX, MS3, And civic Si :eek3:
    Always being a Subaru fan i (heavily) leaned towards the WRX but i knew the chances were slim because of insurance prices...
    Anyways, me and my dad decided to go check out the Subaru first in a spur-of-the-moment kind of deal, skipped dinner and went to SoG instead.
    Walked in to the showroom to see the WRB Impreza WRX sitting there. i immediately fell in love :rofl: and the rest is History.


    -All i have done to the car so far is= Invidia N1 Race cat-back, 20% all around tint, and full de-badge.

    but... That will be different now. As i mod the car i will try to post pics to keep track of the car as it comes along.

    I don't have any big ideas of exactly what i want out of this car so as of now, the Basic Plan i'm going to follow for is
    1. Fix the rattles :grr:
    2. Improve the Suspension/Handling.
    3. Better brakes.
    4. After getting the handling/braking characteristics to how i like, Stage 2(+/-) for power.
    5. Who knows? bigger Turbo?

    So on to some pictures now!

    The car only has 11k miles on it. New cars area always problem free to work on...or at least most of the time.

    Im glad you are enjoying the parts!

    The dealership called and gave me an offer on the car that at the time couldnt refuse, so i let her go.
    Now that i look back on it, the 2011s are selling for MUCH more. :|
    I plan on getting another car by this summer so ill be shopping around then :)
