im loving it, ive got a aem short ram on it now which really improves my throttle responce, but i don't suggest it for your year bc my buddy that i bought it from had it on him and it was killing his hp. you otta wait till you get your ecu reflashed or get a utec

but im ordering a bunch of parts in the spring too, greddy evo II exhaust, helix down and up pipes, new momo shift nob, some new intercooler hoses, and if i budget well, a utec

you should check out ohiosubaru.com and clubwrx.net. There is a lot of used Utecs and AP floating around on clubwrx.

Right now, im just planning on a stage 1 cobb with spt exhaust. I dont wanna ruin my warranty just yet ;) Im also looking for some bronze/black rota rims, so if anyone you see is selling some send um my way.

Ive heard that about intakes, esp CAI. If I end up wanting to hear my turbo more i will just remove the intake silencer, but like you said it hurts the car more than helps it, sound is really an intake does on a untuned car.How far are you from cincy, cause im at school at Miami U. (Oxford) and there seems to be alot happening with subys in cincy.

about an hour and a half away, there is no subie scene here so we will prolly be going up there a lot... we will prolly be going on a road trip on spring break (around march 9th or so) we should all meet up

but about the used utec, i dunno about used electronics. kinda sketchy but im keeping all my other parts just incase i have to replace something under warranty ;) but i do all my matienence my self so they won't know any the better

+1

AWD>everything else

I love driving in the snow now. There is a kid at ohiosubaru.com that is opening a shop with an awd dyno but it wont be open until early this summer i believe. There is also a company in Marysville, OH that has a awd dyno i believe. Pick a weekend and ill meet you there. THe company called quantum-racing.com
