Whats going on i-club. Been lurking around here for some time and finally decided to put something up on my new subie. I picked her up on 12/31/12 and have been in love with it ever since. 2013 WRX Premium Hatchback in Ice Silver Metallic. This is my first manual and it is a blast to drive, however still getting used to it, stopping on hills still scares the **** out of me. Had some good laughs staling it at the dealership and around town and how frustrated other people get... I just found it entertaining to me. I have got it down for the most part now.

Anyway here are some pictures. I've always been a huge fan of the wide bodies.

At the dealership the day I picked her up:


Made the hour drive home after driving stick for about 20min home:






About a week after I bought it I picked up some Blizzak LM60s, I thought I had them order the WS70s but these are still awesome tires. Little dirty.




I am still learning a lot from this forum and reading something new everyday about this cars. I dont want to void any warranites that I have so for now everything will be focused around that.

Near future upgrades include:
- Rally Armor
- Tint
- BlueBat tail light overlays - DONE
- Weathertech floor mats - DONE
- Sway bars
- Wheels

Future Plans:
- Kartboy Short Throw
- HID retro and painted chrome
- Intake/exhaust
- Stage 1

Sorry for all the pictures.

Any fellow Tahoe suby owners want to teach me how to really drive this car Im down to meet up.

 

Woo! Car looks great! I'm in Tahoe every weekend pretty much! If ya ever see a blue hawkeye with a carbon trunk and gold wheels make sure to wave!

 

congrats! Have fun breaking it in haha.

 

forget stage 1. go stage 2 with TBE haha..

 

i think i actually saw u once when i was boarding. whip looks sick!

OP, congrats on the ride! good call with the blizzaks! i have both LMs and WSs. diff really is compound stiffness. I like the LMs since i commute from SJ to N*. if youre in tahoe and have a summer set. WSs60s deff are the way to go. ill look out for you!

 

Thanks guys! Had it for about 3 months now and its getting more and more fun to drive. Here are some pictures from a drive the other day. Ready for it to be summer and give her a nice detail.

Also found full Thule rack system on Craiglist a month ago, brand new in box never opened for $200 so had to go grab it.


Don't have the best camera so bear with me:

Welcome to the club

 

Nice car and welcome!

 

mine!

 

gottum coach.

 

Welcome! So you learned to drive a stick after purchasing this? If so LOVE IT!

 

ey guys, been a couple months, just out enjoying the car. Finally feel comfortable with the stick and its feels natural now.

Since my last post I got 15% tint all the way around with a 5% glare strip. No more fish bowl! Also installed Rally Armor flaps.

And stoked to dust of the DH bike and get out for some laps this summer, now just to get a rack for it so I don't have to stuff it in the back. Going back and forth between roof rack since I already have bars, and installing a hitch...

 

Also.....

Bought a SPT exhuast off a fellow NASIOC/i-club-er and he helped me install it last week. Id been looking for a more aggressive tone and I think this is exactly what I was looking for. Very happy with it. Threw in a K&N air filter, not sure how much it actually does but an upgrade from stock. Also blacked the emblems and side badges with Plastidip. Overall productive week.





Out with the old...






Also picked up a set up Eibach Pro Kit springs from another NASIOC/i-club-er for cheap and will be installing them here in the next few weeks.

 

Where in Tahoe are u, i Think i have sem tour car át. Safeway

 

Sweet looking car man! I actually like that silver when its in the snow. Good luck with the car!
