New guy, new car

Well, technically, it's not new, but I just got it last saturday, so it's new to me!

Anyway, it's an '02 WRX.

It's got a few things done to it, by whoever previously owned it.

Hotchkis springs
Short shifter
STi (or copy) rear STB
Stainless brake lines
Boost gauge
Rota Tarmac w/ P Zero Nero

Took it on a little low speed off-road the other day, not much, though, but a lot of cleanup!

I'm planning on getting into Rallycross, and I drive the canyons a bit, too.

The interior on this car is in great shape, whoever owned it took really good care of it!

I've already got some plans for mods in the works. Appearance wise, I'm going to get the Prodrive lip, paint it satin black to match the skirts, knockoff STi fog covers/grilles (don't want to spend the money on the real ones at the moment, when they're gonna be such a vulnerable item), and, at some point, the black STi headlights, and that'll be the end of my appearance mods.

First for power will be an UP/DP, and a Cobb AP with the Stage 2 map. That'll be all the power I'll need for a very long time, I think. Only other little thing I'm doing in that regard is pulling the air funnel and resonator, and putting a nice filter in the airbox. I'll probably run stage 1 or even lower when I'm on the dirt, stage 2 will be fun on tarmac but I'm guessing I won't be able to handle 280 (@ crank) my first couple times.

Then, as for suspension, I'm going for the fattest rear sway I can get my hands on, and that'll be it until I start rallycrossing the car and figure out what I need from there.

Only other things I'm planning on, in the near future, will be a gauge pod w/ a new Boost, EGT, and Oil Press. gauges, a fire extinguisher, and possibly a harness, if I can find one that I like that'll be easy
to clip in and out for the street.

Nice!

Welcome and congrats on your ride. Good choice for Prodrive lip (I want one for myself when I can afford it). You will have fun with your car.
