hey guys im a new owner of a 2002 subi wrx. Has a few minor mods but nothing serious. Mods i want soon is new wheels/tires, hks bov, exhaust, and some springs, and a boost gauge. I will add later though. I am 19 about to be 20 and am located in lawrenceville. I am very active on Import atlanta and go to a lot of meets around. I hope to get more active and find a bunch of subi brothers to ride to nopi with.
Welcome! As for the mods, just remember that BOV's are not performance enhancers in our cars until you go aftermarket turbo/intercooler. They do sound great though!! If you go over to NASIOC, be gentle with the BOV statements/questions or you will be flamed, big time. We are planning on having a table at NOPI this year, check the thread out in the G2G section...
thanks guys! yea i love the sound of the bov i know it doesnt do anything really other than make some racket hehe......i try not to ask real dumb ?'s being that i do a lot of reading or asking in person before i just go on a thread and post. I hope to meet some of you guys at these meets and stuff.
welcome to WRXatlanta... we have a lot of regular meets... u just missed a huge install day... keep checking the calendar and the g2g section for updates
welcome to the club man..dont be afraid to ask questions..the only dumb question is the one that goes unasked!
thanks guys...i picked it up today and i love it but its hard to keep the speed down. I got on 85 and got on the on ramp in 3rd and just pinned it and i was like woooooooaaaahhhhhhhh!!!! lol......these cars are awsome.
welcome to the club, glad you love the car =) get a couple mods on it and then just wait and see how you feel
Welcome to the club!!. There are a lot of really cool people here and a lot of great info plus awesome g2g's to top it off. Looking forward to seeing you at future g2g's. Mark
haha yea this is my first turbo car so the spooling effect just brings a smile to my face. I am definatly gonna make it to some g2gs. EVeryone seems great on here and very active. Thats how we like it. I need some new wheels though!! i hate these stockers. Any suggestions where i can get a set of wheels/tires for a good price? thanks
I got a pretty good deal from Discount Tire...just wish I would've went with 18's instead of 17's. Also my wheels are the wrong offset for my car. So, while considering which style/brand you want, make sure the offset is correct. I don't know what it is off the top of my head but I'm sure someone here knows. I didn't know much about the car when I got it and just got the wheels I thought looked cool. Discount Tire didn't bother to tell me they weren't right for the car.....
Welcome to the club man! Look forward to seeing you at g2gs. Check out Suby Dude (http://www.subydude.com) for wheels and wheel/tire packages. Rotas!
Welcome! Sorry for the late welcome. Ya know, if its sound you want from the BOV, you can just remove the tube from the BOV and plug up where it goes into the intake and get the same effect. nice whoosh when shifting. Cheap, effective, and it wont hurt your car anymore than an upgraded BOV. Oh, and the intake silencer removal mod will make some nice sounds under the hood. Just do a search for that exact phrase and you can find a how-to somewhere.
the intake silencer removal is harmless... an aftermarket blowoff valve MIGHT harm... i wouldnt put one on unless the uppipe has been replaced with a catless one also check out www.wheelsnext.com ... pretty good selection and pretty good prices
hey welcome to WRXatlanta...the guys here are mad cool...g2g's always turn out pretty strong...glad to see another bugeye in the lawrenceville area
yea buddy^^^ hehe...........ive got a gutted uppipe so im good to go on that. I am thinking of doing some rotas. I cannot decide if black with polished lip or Bronze is the way iw anna go.
i just ordered some rota subzero's...the silver w/ polished lip...i can't wait, they were special order though so hopefully i'll be sportin them for the NOPI's
Blue ill post pics tomorrow.......rota subzeros are pimp. Yea i hope i can get wheels, bov, and exhaust by nopi but it will be pushing it. BTW guys im posting in the for sale forums the pulley.
It may be a bit late for me to say welcome, but...welcome :wavey: Hope to see you out at something soon Cheers, Your lovable Admin
for sure^^^ i went to the auto x and met a couple guys today. I am still yet to take some pics but i got my stereo finished today finally got the legacy bin. Also put in my sirius that has been sitting in my room for a month. Been shopping aorund though i am about to have some extra cash to throw down on some mods. I am aiming to get an exhaust, bov, and wheels by nopi but we will see.
thanks! i just finished it yesterday. I really like the carbon fiber, and im thinking were the door under the radio is im gonna put gauges there. I have an hks ssqv bov coming in the mail that im putting on this week, and hopefully withiin the month i am ordering an exhaust through topspeed.
heres a link to a 3 guage pod for din size. they have one in cf but i dont think it matches. im thought about this piece but it wont work for me cause my stereo is over a din size. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=46100&item=7985813668&rd=1
