Talking Intruduction - new user

Hello peeps!

I've just found this place....
I'm a 27 year old fella with a great love for scoobs, hell most things that moves fast.

This is my pride and joy....



It's a Swedish turbo (218 hp) that's been breathed upon a smidge:

Possum Link ECU
IHI VF24 turbo
Scoobysport fully decatted exhaust
Leda B coilovers (325/225 lbs springs)
AP Racing 4-pot kit up front (Pagid Blue pads)
Gauges from Autometer (EGT, boost, oil preass. and temp)

And numerous other bits.

It's done 12.9 @175 kph, and is in the middle 4 region to 60 mph - with my careful driving...so it's got potential.

Cheers

/J - I'm fortunate to have an understanding gf.

I am also new here !
Before I came to US, I've saw lots of Impreza GT (turbo) in my country. I love it so much so I bought a 2002 2.5RS.

Can somebody tell me is there any info about WRX STi ?? I'll wait to trade in my RS for STi.....

Ya... everyone is talking about turbo WRX......
I think RS is a good car and 167 hp is enough for me. The auto transmission on this car is a CVT ( continuously variable transfer clutch) which is a new trend of auto transmission. It runs so smoothly

BUT... I think Subaru can do much better on its EJ25, for example, DOHC instead of SOHC; rear LSD instead of nothing; sequential auto transmission which is used on Japan's NA WRX......

Anyway, I like this car very much :alien:
