Newbie from Sacto.

Hey all,

Just wanted to introduce myself. Had my 2011 WRX Base Hatchback since last February (bought new). Came with fog lights, bumper cover, and autodim mirror/homelink.

Mods so far include:

AP running Stage 1 OTS (May 11)
Kartboy SS with F/R bushings (May 12)
"STI" Duracon Shift ****" (May 12)

My birthday is in May (can you tell?)

Upcoming Mods:
Nameless Axleback Exhaust with 5" mufflers. Its supposed to get here tomorrow!

Future Mods:
Catted Downpipe/Stage 2
AEM or Cobb Intake
Protune
Sways
PW TMIC



Here are some pics by the American River when it was new.







Here is a pic of our other car (2002 Honda S2000, 100% stock and going to stay that way).



Looking for the right WRX forum (there are a lot of them) and this one seems to be most popular for Northern California. Hope to see yall at some meets.

Wish I could take credit but it probably wasnt me. We live in Carmichael and usually go to ancil hoffman which doesnt connect with the bike trail. We took those pictures under watt ave near mile marker 10. The WRB hatch is def the way to go though, no doubt.

I like that exhaust and wrb is one of my favorite colors..

So lucky you have an 02 s2k one of the best years right next to 2003 imo. 9k redline with the top down

Thanks. The 2002 and 2003 MYs are identicle except that in 2003 they offered white with tan interior. 2002-2003 is best though since it retains the 9000rpm redline but adds a glass rear window and less twitchy suspension set up as well as some interior refinements.

We got ours 2 years ago before prices starting going up for super cheap. Excellent car

You need some rims on the S2000. They look great with Ap2v1's!
