Just thought I'd stop in here first and say hello to everyone. I drive an 03 Sonic Yellow wrx that is for the most part stock. Current mods are a STi catback and a perrin lightweight crank pulley. My only plans for the car are to make it slightly faster, but nothing outrageous as it is my daily driver.

welcome to i-club. as you keep modding your car slowly, i think stage 2 will be enough power for you, and is still safe on your car as a DD.

stage2: downpipe, pipe, catback exhaust, and some ecu software..

I'd like to maybe just do the Vishnu ecu, but I don't much about it or if it is even a worthy mod.

Welcome to I-club man, sounds like you got a nice car, I would take off that crank pully though.

From what I understand the Perrin Lightweight crank pulley was designed to reduce weight and weight only. It is not an under driven pulley system which might cause issues but merely the same as stock just lighter.

Welcome Aboard!
The mods I would do would be exhaust and engine management.
Can you post any pics of your sonic yellow wrx?

I posted a few in the yellow show and shine thread. I need to take more now that I have the JDM hoodscoop on. Last weekend I modified my STi exhaust but didn't notice much improvement.. but playing with the plasma cutter and welder is always fun.
