Hey guys i'm a new WRX owner in San Jose. Just got it a week ago for my 21st birthday. I'm completely new to AWD, so it feels awesome coming from an 01 accord. Anything that you guys recommend i upgrade first? I was thinking COBB exhaust system and AP first, but not really sure. Again, i'm new to WRX and the whole tuning scene, but I hope to learn quick. Here's my car. If you see me, just say whasup

 

that hood scoop is hugh! Welcome to the community there's a lot of knowledge floating around on the site, so explore the threads and ask questions when you've got them. BUGEYES ROCK FTMFW!!!!!

 

Lose the scoop, and fix the front lip (it's not supposed to be angled that much).

Enjoy your new car and welcome!

 

Yea the scoop is kinda big. I was thinking of going with the CWII Seibon Hood, and stock hood scoop. That one came with the car. And I'm getting a paint job in about a month, so I'm gonna have the guy take off the front lip and adjust it as it should be because it scrapes a lot on just about anything. I can't even hit a corner hard because it will hit. Powerwise though, would a COBB Exhaust and AP be a good investment first or is there something that would be better. (I'm running on a tight budget, only about $500-600 a month or so that I can spend on the car.)

 

hey welcome to the boards

nice to have another south bay person, we have a meet on Friday night over on curtner and monterey at wingstop. try and drop by this Friday and you can gain some knowledge towards the suby.

whats your budget like as far as mods go? for something quick and simple, you can remove the snorkel piece underneath your hood so your spool will be a lot louder. other cheap and inexpensive mods are sway bars/ endlinks/ pads/ fluid etc.

once again welcome

 

Damn my CF scoop isnt even that big

Welcome to the club and to AWD.
San Jose FTW!

Everyone here is really nice, so if you need help just ask

 

Alright, well I'll see if I can find the snorkel. Or I'll have someone help me with that. Friday night it is. I'll try to make it to the meet. As far as budget goes. I'm looking at about $300-400 a month that I can spend on mods considering gas, phone and other bills until summer, then it should jump up to at least $600 a month that i can spend on mods.

 

we can talk more about your future mods at the meet tomorrow.

 

Nice bugeye
