Hello everyone! I got my first Subaru in October of 2010. It all happen out of chance. My parents neighbor was wanting to get a SUV for herself and was going to trade her Subaru in. My parents had mentioned to her perviously that I was on the look out for a car. So she offered me the car for what the dealer was going to give her for trade. I had struck a deal of a lifetime. She was the only owner and is in her 50's so the car was never driven hard. She also had all the maintenance done at the dealership. So that how I became a proud Subaru owner.
Here's what the car looked like when I first got it in 2010.
And this is how I had it right before I sold it.
All I did at that point was paint the rims black. I didn't catch the tuning bug till about a year after owning it. Started with the exhaust like most people. From there I did everything I possibly could on an NA engine. It had a short ram intake, headers and full catback exhaust. I was pretty happy with it but I eventually wanted more power.
Final in June 2013 after months of looking for the perfect STI, a member on NASIOC messaged me that he was thinking about selling his car. I went all the way down to Portland, OR to get it. It was a 2004 WRB STI with only 75k miles! Only mods were an exhaust and CAI.
Here's the car on the first day I bought it!
Power wise my goal for the car is to get it to 350-375whp. Not too crazy high as this is going to be my daily driver. I have been looking at the 20g and Dom 1.5 as turbo upgrades. With the supporting mods I should be able to get there. Don't want to run meth as my tuner didn't recommend it for what I want so I'll be just running our 92 grade pump gas.
