Introducing...

Hey everyone,
I've been poking around the forums for a few months now, thought it was time to say hello and get more involved in the Subbie Community. I graduated from UC Davis in June 2004 and am still working in town. I grew up in Santa Cruz and will be moving the the Mountain View area at the end of the summer. So I hope y'all can help me get some track time, put a few new parts on, have BBQs, etc.

I bought my 2002 WRX last October and have been having fun working on it here and there. I hope to move to Stage 2 soon, and FINALLY start getting some track time in instead of daydreaming

Here are my mods and some pix:

Engine
Perrin Silicon Turbo Inlet Hose
Perrin Silicon Oil Catch Can
Perrin Up-Pipe
Samco Sport Silicon Intercooler Hose
Blitz FATT 2 Turbo Timer
K&N Drop-In Panel Filter

Interior
STI Shifter Trim
OEM Style Deadpedal

Exterior
STI Rear Skirt
STI Side Skirts
Pink "i" badge

Suspension
STI V7 Struts
STI Group N Strut Top Mounts
STI Group N Transmission Mount
STI Replica Strut Bars
Tanabe GF210 Lowering Springs
Hotchkis 25mm Sway Bars (F&R)
HD Sway Bar Mounts
Whiteline Steering Rack Bushings
Rota Tarmac 2 (17X7.5) Wheels
Yokohama AVS ES100 225/45/ZR17 Tires
Eibach Rear Alignment Kit

Brakes
Goodridge Stainless Steel Lines
Racing Brake Slotted Rotors (F&R)
Bobcat Street Pads (F&R)

Transmission
Kartboy Short Throw Shifter
Kartboy Shifter Bushings






Anyway, thought I'd drop a line, say hello and all. Anyone know a good body shop that could respray my bumper (mine is chipping) in the area that isn't super $$$?

Cheers!

Welcome welcome!

Track time is the best time! I think a lot of us are heading back to Thunderhill a couple more times this year. Very nice blend of mods you have there, very classy! How do you like your rotors?

Thanks! My friend, who is now a pro photographer took these pictures. He got the last picture by using a monopod that has a monster suction cup on it. You give it a few pumps to get a good vaccum going, then you can take it as high as 50 MPH (so he told me, as I recall).

Unfortunatly, I've got family obligations all weekend, so I can't hang out. But soon! Is there a crew that goes to the Sacramento Drags? I'd love to know what my car could do in the 1320.

Any word on a good body shop for respraying my bumper?
