In Janurary of 2009 i was first introduced to Subaru's. My 1st ever car was a Pontiac G5 an just two months after buying it i wrecked and totaled it in the snow. I knew nothing about cars at the time and just wanted a AWD car so i was safe in different weather conditions. So i found what was called a subaru 2.5rs on auto-locator. Noing nothing about subaru's i bought it cuz i liked the scoop lol. It was a 2000 BRP RS http://www.rs25.com/forums/f145/t106125-my-2000-rs.html I learned about the car inside and out due to friends and mostly this forum. I had a real fun time with it but it was Auto an i hated that and it was starting to go downhill. I enjoyed it alot though an it brought me to this forum and nasioc and taught me a lot about Subarus which in all honesty i dont think i will ever buy anything but. i modded it pretty good for my 1st tuner car you could say. I am still learning a lot to this day, espcially about the turbo EJ engines. I knew my 00 was starting to get boring with(driving wise) and i wanted some power an a manual car because i love manuel cars. So looking for about 3 months i found this car. A 2001 White WrsX. It was in NJ and i went down and picked it up with no 2nd guess. I was so happy with it
but..4 days after i got it 2nd gear in the stock RS tranny blew. I had it hauled down to Agile Auto in MD where a got a 4800 transmission rebuild Ya it was expensive but worth it because the gears are full out racing gears. They are the Albins gearset/Helix gears. Since than nothing has gone wrong and im still modding it as i go.

Nice! 
Out of interest, how does it compare to over here on a cost to run basis?
60 litres of fuel (a full tank) over here will cost you £78 ($120 or there abouts)
To be able to put mine (MY 2007 STI) on the road they charge £425 a year road tax ($670) then there is insurance, mine is £850 per year ($1350).
Not cheap!

My insurance for my RS and Wagon together are both $67 USA(42.3 GBP). One gallon of gas for premuim 93 octane is $3.35(2.12 GBP) for one gallon! My tank holds around 12.5 gallons, thats what it takes to fill up so total to fill up over here with 93 gas is around $42(27 GBP) expensive right
Well actually the L hood is off i have the scooped hood on now but once i get my genuine P1 lip painted it will go back on that makes me think. If any one has a set of Prodrive P1 fog light kits let me know id be hot over here in the US of i had P1 fogs haha













Loving the Non scooped Hood
