Default enjoying my little wrx

Hi everyone, my name is jess ive recently picked up an 02 sti from osb park. After a few little hitches (the radiator went and someone smashed my bumper in the carpark - hit and run ) shes now up and running beautifully. Fell in love with subis after buying an 01 wrx bugeye station wagon in sydney very tidy and quick little one. Had that for 3 years and have now upgraded to the sti.
I have a couple of questions in regards to handling but ill put that up a little later. Just wwanted to introduce myself and have a little look around.
Ciao

Welcome Jess

Up the top there are little tabs starting with User CP, All Albums, Blogs etc. Go to the Search one and type in one or two words that you want to find answers for and a crap load of thread topics will become available. The trick is to determine what information is useful to you and what is not.....

As far as suspension mods go you have a brilliant base to start with in an 02 STI (I used to have a white one ). Can't go wrong with coilovers, Anti Lift Kit (ALK), Roll Centre Kit and possible some thicker adjustable sway bars front and rear. Some folks used and recommended in WA are Wheels World (ask for John) or Wilkinsons Suspension to name a couple. There is a workshops thread here --> http://www.perth-wrx.com/vb/mechanicals/6775-perth-workshops.html

Enjoy your bug eye in the mean time

Or just bat your eyelashes and all the single members of the forum will fall over themselves to appear knowledgeable on whatever subject you choose to enquire about
