Default Couldn't help it..

It's confirmed, Subaru's are deeply ingrained in my soul and in my veins....the mrs and I bought our 2nd Subaru on Wednesday night!

After looking at the Mk.6 Golf, and realising we'd have to wait up to 12 months to receive it (still a 6 month wait for the outgoing Mk.5 in the exact specs we want!), not to mention the huge cost blow-out with the options we wanted, we walked into Melville Subaru and walked away with an order placed for a white MY09 WRX hatch, with the new for MY09 Premium Pack (leather and sunroof). Very nice upgrade from the wife's old SP23.

We got a great deal on it from Matt Allen at Melville Subaru, through another mate who works at Melville, in the workshop. Stoked!

Power and suspension upgrades have been confirmed, but we still don't know the exact specs. The car should arrive around February 09.

I'll say it now..its not copping any major modifications, we would like it to be a reliable sleeper. So, if anyone has an exhaust off an MY08 STi that they would like to sell, please PM me asap

Got no photos yet, but once we get the car in Feb 09, I'll post something up.

sure the exhaust will fit? the rear suspension setup on the WRX and STi are different so i'd assume mounting points and bends might differ?

Congrats Joe

Welcome to ugly Betty ville!

Start planning the suspension mods

May have a new exhaust by then - will keep you in mind.

Sounds like they are actually 5 x 114.3 not the claimed 5 x 100, so no they wouldn't fit on a WRX... needs STi

Hella Stoked for ya tho Joe! As you already know!
