History: This is my first Subaru, I ordered it in November 2012 and picked it up January 21st, 2013. I was really disappointed that I couldn't get Lightning Red for 2013, but I guess it isn't all bad because it forced me to buy a non-red car! Plus, I really like the WRB. :D

I always wanted an STi, when I graduated college it was a little out of my price range at the time and I wanted a new car so I purchased a 2008 Mazdaspeed3 GT, which I had up until January 18, 2013 when I sold it after putting 102,000 miles on it. The Speed3 was a great car for the money in terms of performance and features. I couldn't of been happier with it. But, it isn't an STI...



Plans: I have a long list of desired mods... Except for a cat-back exhaust I'm going to go all suspension mods first, at least that is my plan. :D Unfortunately it's going to take a while because I spend too much money on track time and my other car (1991 Miata).

I'm going to try and go back to all the updates since I picked up the car in January since it took me so long to make a thread haha... Normally January is pretty boring in Ohio, but this year wasn't so bad! :D

First picture immediately after the guys finished putting the clear bra on the entire front of the car windshield forward.


I picked the car up on a rare sunny day for an Ohio winter so I drove it outside to take a few pictures:








Hit 1000 miles almost exactly a month later on February 20, 2013:


The fun stuff finally started recently... I didn't have the normal autocross car (Miata) ready in time for the April autocross so I took the STi out:
