Default New to scoobynet but not to subaru

Hi all, I just thought i would say hi!
As the title I'm new to SN but not new to subarus, I purchased my first impreza in 2004 and have had 3 other classics and other cars since.
In November I purchased an early 2006 55 reg hawkeye STI fitted with a prodrive performance pack off a lady who bought a nissan GTR.
Since ownership I have replaced the clutch and transfer box bearings,fitted some tien springs, did the grease nipple mod on the shocks,had the PFF7 alloys powder coated and fitted the front lip.
I'm sure you lot are going to tell me all about the crappy 2.5 engine but I'm not bothered as I have worked as a mechanic at a subaru main dealer for almost 12 years and when it goes bang I will just rebuild it!
Sorry if I have board you but thanks for reading!
