I just picked up a brand new urban grey metallic sti 2007. Now its time to get to learn the car... Any heads up...

 

Immediately without hesitation go out and buy an upgraded turbo with supporting mods and custom tune.

That's what I'd do anyway. Something I'm thinking about doing myself if I decide to buy another Suby....but I really need a truck...

 

Don't speed :P

 

Only limey bastards spell "gray" with an "e"

Follow the proper break in procedures. After break in, find out the soonest autox even and participate in it

 

+1 for proper engine break in, then take it out on a closed track/road and have yourself some fun Gratz!!!!!

Urban gray is an awesome color. You'll get over not finding a black one eventually. Congrats!

 

do he break in correctly...

after that ask about modding lol

 

they still sell new 07's?

 

go get a clearbra immediately! That's the one thing i wish I had done when i got my car.......subaru paint sucks...

 

^^yuppers, i agee with clearbra

 

Break in properly like everyone says. Then take it to the track for proper post break in ceremony.

 

dump it at 9 and you'll be fine

 

Get an AccessPort, ASAP. Don't throw any parts on your car without a specific tune for them. The 07's are picky bastards.

 

yes bad factory tunes will cause some damage if the car is an 07
I broke in my car after 1200 miles and got myself an AP protuned
never looked back...btw you will love your 4th gear!
congrats on the buy

 

break it in properly.

Get a wally 255 fuel pump installed asap.
Then get a cobb ap or openecu tune.

Then upgrade something.

B.T.W. awd is not the cure for fast driving, Take some time and learn the cars handling before you drive it hard.
