Talking what up - in the WRX family

Hey everyone, BAY AREA!

I finally came up on my dream car. I've been wanting a WRX ever since they came out in the USA and even before that. So Tuesday I traded my daily in on a white 2006 WRX TR, and last night I started the mod process and ordered some Megan coilovers. I've been to a few meets at Union City in the past, mainly with my friend in his Forester. Well if you see a whiteboy driving a white 2006 WRX TR around in the Oakland to Richmond area, then it might be me, so say what's up!

I'll try to get some pics up soon.

Welcome! It's nice to see another '06 join the fold. I highly recommend getting Cobb AP and going to Stage 1 after you break in the engine.

I suggest you break the car in, get to know it for some time, then think about mods afterwards. :-)

Here's the dyno run: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...0#post12725050


I think we still wish it made it past 150,000 miles - stupid valve. On the plus side, the other cylinders looked good.

LOTS of torque from the 2.5 litre. nice. Needs a bigger turbo then it will fly (stating the obvious!).
