Default G'day

Hey everyone, how ya going?
I've been reading the posts for a while but I thought I would introduce myself.

I've got an MY08 WRX. Had it for a year now. It was one of the first ones off the boat.
Now I know most of you don't like the 08, but I really do.
It is a work car and I've only got 2 more years on the lease before I hand it back and get a new one So I guess that will be an MY10.....

Now overall I'm happy with the 08 except for 1 little point. The exhaust!
I'm really looking to put a rear muffler on it to give it a better note.
I'm not looking to replace the whole thing just the rear muffler.

I regularly take it down south and give it a good fang on the gravel roads round the farm and I have to say it handles the gravel really well. (needs better tyres for that though)
But the first time I had it sideways at 120km/h in the grave was brown trousers

Welcome mate! Nice car, good to see you use it! plenty of info on here.

So your saying theres no point in spending alot of coin because your on a lease? Coz you could get a fair bit of whack out of it with a turbo back and reflash. Makes drives down south funner!

LOL that vid is pretty funny.....

Yeah part of the lease states that I am not allowed to modify the vehicle..
But as far as the exhaust goes I'm looking to buy a bolt on so I can change it back at the end of lease.

The advantage I have with the lease is that at the end the buy back is only $18k but it will be worth much more than that (if we can sway public opinion and loose the ugly betty title ) so the extra $10k difference will push me closer to getting an STI next time round.

Lose Window$ and get yourself onto Linux and leave viruses behind.
