Lightbulb My First Subaru..

Hi, my name is Chris and I'm new to the club. I just picked up this 03 wrx a couple days ago. It's pretty clean and runs smooth. I really want to learn more about Subaru's because this is my first turbo charged car, and my first thoughts are that if I'm going to drive it, I should at least know what I'm dealing with.
Anyone willing to give some tips let me know. Thanks!

Lol he just got the car, lots of time to do mods, as for body kits I think the Do Luck kit is the best looking for the bugeyes generation in my opinion

OK bro,

First off, nice bugeye...blue is a classic.

Now you need to get some Pink "JayDM" rims, pink neon underbody kit, flamethrower kit, tein s-techs, and "bryde" upholstery.

That'd be one tight bugeye.
