Default Newbie saying hello

Hello everyone. After 8 years of driving and only ever owning Fords I've made the jump to something a bit different. After a change of jobs I no longer use motorways and now use country roads so it's out with the oil burner and in with 55 reg Impreza WRX (2.5 engine).
I'm amazingly happy with the car, I can't describe how superb it is but I suppose you lot already know lol.
Car is booked in for a remap with Duncan from Racedynamix on sunday and I think the mods will then stop until after winter.
I'm looking at changing the head unit though, I'd ideally like a double din that matches the silver plastic on the dash and must be ipod/iphone compatable, any ideas?
Cheers, a happy Subaru owner, Dan

Lol, not too deep but should be deep enough. As well as the job change I've also given up stock car racing so I'm hoping the budget I had for that will cover the extra needed for the Impreza.

The Impreza, not the best picture but it's the only one I have at the minute.



The stock car, which is for sale at the minute,

I agree, got my eye on a set of Prodrive 18" multispokes in anthracite, don't think the good missus will let me spend best part of £1500 on wheels and tyres though now she has found out I'll be lucky to get 250 miles from £50 of super lol.
On the plus side though, went along to the rolling road with a mate today and got 252.8 bhp and 270.1 lb ft, well pleased with that. Can't wait until Duncan has worked his magic.
