Default Hey from a newby (please be gentle)

Just thought i would say hello and introduce myself as its my first post.
Been a member for a short amount of time after purchasing my first scoob a few months back.
I came into ownership of her when my honda type r powered mini (que the honda jokes ) was written off by an evil taxi driver.
As im just about old enough now to insure a real drivers car the only option for me was a scoob.

Here she is an 03 sti blob with just over 50k on the clock. I already have front and rear splitters from ht autos and bc coilovers awaiting the good weather for fitment. At the moment i am around the 330bhp mark and hope to round that up to a reasonable 350.

So thats my boring story and a big hello from me

sorry for the crap phone camera pic, its the only one without snow covering her.

i hope so its been well looked after judging by the history so i am well and trully looking to keep it this way, people dont seem to realise it is cheaper to maintain your car properly than to fix it when it is neglected.
