What up everyone I just got my WRX today. It's a 2003 wagon. Anything I should know about? I used to have a DSM so I'm familiar with the turbo motors. What mods should I start out with?

Welcome to i-club. As it is an aging car I would start off with replacing worn out suspension bushings. Please check out the bay area meets section and come out to say hi! The largest meet is the Wednesday meet in Fremont.
