New to i-club & WRX

Hey all found the site through GOOGLE. Just got a silver 2005 WRX last sunday and I love it. I am coming over from a honda. So far I have a turbo back with a high flow cat and an HKS Carbon TI "that is probably deffinately going to get me a ticket". I am ordering my intake today which I plan on getting a K & N Typhoon.

I would deffinately like to make new friends and come out to some of your meets. I am not new to the whole forum thing so before I ask stupid questions I will use the search options and find out if they have already been answered.

Future mods. VF-43 turbo, larger injectors, fuel pump, tmic, BOV, and some kind of tune. I plan on doing all these at the same time but I am planning a wedding at the moment and the wifey would prefer I wait until after the wedding to do these things.

I probably wont be coming out until after I lower it a little and put some rims on it which I am hoping will be within the next few weeks. Hope you are all having a good day and I look foreward to getting together with some of you soon.
Shannon

Yay for Honda turned Subie owners! I still have my Honda though, I don't know if that's good or bad.

Congrats on the purchase, and 2xcongrats for not even waiting a week to put better parts on it.

Thanks all for the warm welcome. Add to above mods already completed an up pipe. Pretty cool story I know bad on my part for buying an already modod car but I got it at a dealership, compression tested it right after leaving the lot. Motor is in great condition but it already came with the aftermarket down and up pipe. I just added the HKS Carbon ti. The kicker is I didnt realize it had the up and down pipe till after the sale was final so the dealership sold me a car with an illeagal exhaust. Fortunately they had no problems ordering my factory up and down pipes free of charge and shipped them to my house.

The soon to be wife has an 01 GSR all done up. Its part of the reason I got the WRX. I was tired of her having a faster car than me.

Hey all just a little update. I did the TBE and put on a K&N typhoon. Like I said before I am coming over from a Honda so I am used to being able to throw all kinds of mods on my car and not having it affect my tune. So being a total rookie I did all this stuff to my subaru and it started running kinda poopy. It also has a perrin intake tube, and some aftermarket boost control sylenoid. Took the car to GST and got a cobb accessport, Mike hooked me up with a factory boost control sylenoid for free and needless to say the car runs like a dream and pulls way hard. I dont have any numbers yet as I am waiting to do a 60k service then I will have a pro tune done and throw up some numbers. +1 to mike and greg at GST.

Ha Ha nice. It is kinda fun cruzing around with the stuff I have done on the stock wheels and dealer plates. Somewhat of a sleeper.
