New to Subaru!

My wife and I will be picking up a 2003 WRX. We both drive focuses. We are trading hers in. I drive a 2002 SVT Focus. Cant wait to race her!

Dont now anything about these cars, just the motor alone looks wild.
Not planing any mods until I learn more about the car.

Love the site, some of the Bug eyes look awesome.
Gonna pick the car up monday, I will try to post some pics then.

What are the commom mods people do to these cars?
What mods are useless. I read that CAI dont really do anything. Is that true?

Thanks...

Best mods to start off with are exhaust downpipe n up pipe. Once those r in find the tuner of your choice n get pro tuned using a cobb access port or ekutek. Those r the first steps in nodding anything after that is getting away from simple modification.
