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.

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.

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.
