New Noob here with my first post! I just got my 05 White STI to the island about three weeks ago. I have always wanted one and finally broke down and got rid of a few of my muscle cars and picked one up. This is the best car I have ever had. I'm excited to drive it and look forward to meeting some of you guys at the meets/ cruises.

What's up

Hey, my name's Christian. My wife and I bought an 04 wrb WRX last may. Love the car, loads o' fun, she say's it's hers though. No problem, just means I can pick up a STI once it's paid off! We're from Santa Rosa, Ca so I'm familiar with FLI. Ryan and Myles are pretty cool to work with. I've ordered parts from them back when we had a T3/T4 boosted Accord. 4 Engines later I learned my lesson. Anyhow I've probably actually meet some of you already, cause I've been swapping parts already. It's got some rota torques on BFG's, a full sound system, a wrapped Invidia dp, a perrin up-p(have yet to install), just picked up a sick sounding exhaust off a wrecked car don't know what it is though. I'm impressed at how these mods made such a difference. I'm ordering an act street clutch and fidanza flywheel. I guess I'll put the up-p in at the same time(hopefully this next weekend).Looking for some springs. Next I want to pick up a Cobb ap, upgrade the fuel system & swap turbo's.(hopefully by summer!) Who knows where it'll go from there. I want to start auto-crossing so anyone that can offer some pointers would be great. Sorry It's soo long, just wanted to give a proper intro. Deuces !!

Couldn't tell you about the rest, but as for the wheels & tires now is the time of year to buy. I used to be an asst. mgr for Discount/America's Tire Co. All the vendors try to push all of last years stock to make room for new models just like everyone else. You have to call around though and ask about clearance wheels. We had a new set on our car every year, and I sold my old set for more than what I paid for my new set. For instance, my buddy josh bought a set of 22' ATS Cetus rims for $120 ea! My last set were 18 Enkei zr-2's with dunlop supersport race tires, the whole set cost me under a grand. Watch for releases on new products as well, they often discount the crap out of them just to get them out, as was the case with the dunlops from the tire rack.Shipping sure is a killer out here though. I've got hookup's out in Cali, but I bought my tires at costco. I couldn't wait. If your patient you can find some awesome deals. I'm just a cheap bastard. Good luck.
