Hey guys/girls

Just stopping by to introduce myself, as i have recently become the proud owner of a 2001 WRX STI. My name is Ben and ive only just moved back over to perth from over east. Im only a young one (18), but im still a big car fan.

I work week on week off in the mines up north, and just spend my r&r kicking back and relaxing.

Ive always had a thing for WRX's, and ive always wanted to buy one, and now i can finally say i have in my opinion, one of the best awd cars on road today

Welcome mate.

You say back over to Perth. Where from, and why'd you leave in the first place. Everyone knows this is the best side of the country

Enjoy your stay - heaps of info here for you on bugeyes!

Well i was born and raised here in Perth.. Well, rockingham to be exact, then my dad got a job over in Townsville, QLD, for a few years, and we lived in a couple of cities over there, then dad got a job back here, and i was living out of home by that stage, but i got a job at a mine over here so i moved back over.

I must admit, alot has changed around Perth and the surrounding areas, i hardly recognise the place anymore

yeah we are forever growing. its good at the moment - they are spending money all over the place to get the city ready for CHOGM - making it look a bit prettier etc.

yeah but thats the case with every town im pretty sure.

Anyways, im hoping i could just get everyones opinions on mods etc i could do to my car

2001 MY02 I hope!

Where abouts do you work? decent roster

oh yes, back to the car stuff..

what's the aim with the vehicle? plans to track it? chasing hp?

I had an 02 sti as well.. had big plans. never really got off the ground though.. damn house buying!

What's done to it now?

yeah im pretty sure its a 01 MY02... umm aims, idk, i dont want it fully decked out. but i want it to have more grunt than what it does now.

I plan on taking it to the drags a couple of times just to see how it fairs up. But i dont want it to be too much cop bait.

And i work at Apex Gold, at Wiluna. Its about 11 hours drive from Perth

Oh, and the cars completly stock, except some aftermarket tail lights, and theres a 3 inch exhaust pipe from the turbo back, then stops and goes to a standars sti exhaust. Maybe too loud or something with the 3 inch running straight through, im not too sure

Welcome mate nice ride
