Just bought an 05 wrx

Got it in crystal grey MT for $22500 plus fees.
I'm having a hard time keeping it in stock form.
There are so much goodies for this car.
I currently own an 88 starion wide body and just spent over $3000 to convert it
to a multi point injection with the sds4f with some hacked aussie parts.
The car is a frankinstien.

I find out there are quite a few ecu makers out for the wrx at a lot cheaper price.
It just blows me away.
So far i'm doing well to keep the wrx in stock form but the dark side is sooooo tempting...

Must resist...Nooo...I can't... too sexy.



I was thinking on the lines of an uppipe.
Ecu reflash or maybe some cobb tunning stuff.
Maybe an sti exhast system since i found a few owners dumping theair stock stuff for $200.
I'm shooting for 280hp.

any suggestions?

Believe you me, once you do one mod, just one mod, you are gonna get pwned by the "mod disease". I'm currently spending all the money I make on mods and goodies for my car. It's so addicting but well worth it.
