Been out of the game for a few years, but now I'm back. Sup Old Folk. And new blood. Hopefully I can keep this one mildly stock

Welcome back dude. It's a much much nicer vehicle than us o.g.'s are used to. I will say this though... it needs sway bars and a charge pipe.

Thanks guys.
OneManArmy, yes I am very impressed with the suspension of this WRX in stock form. The little electronic knick knacks are pretty cool as well.
The thing I cant get my head around is how the stock turbo falls flat on its face at 4500 rpms. Its maddening. I wonder if a tune will help that out at all.
And a charge pipe is the j-pipe right?

Nice!
I am also about to jump back in after a couple year hiatus (tried a GolfR for a couple years...).
My 16 was great car. Stage 1 is a must, as the stock tuning is garbage. Nameless has the best sounding exhaust IMHO. I put 30k on mine in 2 years and it had zero issues.
Cheers!

Sweeeet! Love the Blobeyes! I'm slowly working on mine. As much as I miss my 04 STi, my wagon appeases the need for AWD turbo ahaha
