Default Newbie to be

Hello!!

test drove yesterday morning and signed yesterday afternoon after a long hard think! lol.

Will be picking up my 09 WRX hatchback next week

Should be hiding in a corner because I havent bought a 'proper' one but hey ho.. I like it... lol

Had a Civic before, so new to Subaru, so any hints tips or suggestions on the car and modifications will be appreciated. Although will be on a budget till I get used to the fuel bill

Couple of pics ..

hey lisa, if you havent already changed your exhaust, Ive got £400 worth of hayward and scott exhaust (reduces your cats from 3 to 2, but it is MOT passable) so you get the nice sound - though you will need to buy a back box.

I'll part with my hayward and scott (its brand new, literally still shiny) for £200.

The reason for sale is I have a full-decat exhaust and i got it shortly after buying the hayward (considered to be the best btw) when i started my modding
