Default somewhat new

Hey everyone,

My name is Alex and I have been a reader of the forums for about the 5 years (different user name once upon a time but forgot what it was) I have had my MY06 Wrx. Trawling through various Subaru forums are what I attribute my sanity to during my working day as an accountant. But I have recently decided to dump some (more) money into the car and since I will probably be seeking a fair bit of advice thought i should introduce myself.

So far I have gone about as far as I can with bolt-ons
Gtps02
Process West FMIC
Exhaust etc etc and a Verso tune which a couple of years ago had me a touch over 220kwaw

and most recently (after almost having a breakdown at the final point of bolting on some EL headers only to realise the oil cooler on the 06 doesnt want a bar of them then putting it all back together and ordering a new cooler) I have installed a new oil cooler and some EL headers...the sound is definately gone, got a bit of VTEC about it but im starting to love it and it drives very differently.

So back to the dumping money...I recently purchased a 2.5 Case which is in excellent condition and a set of darton sleeves from Spikey which i plan to start an engine build and all that goes with in the new year.

So thanks everyone for having a read and I plan on attending the christmas cruise on Sunday so would be nice to meet a few of you in person as i dont know anyone else with a wrx

*Have added a couple of pics excuse the iphone quality/ horrible camera work

Welcome.

Sounds like a good build incoming! Always good to see an accountant spend money

Have added a couple of pics for anyone interested.

Hoping somthing big comes of it just a matter of how long it takes..

Very good form on the accounting jokes...I would like to consider myself removed from the stereotype but in reality its probably not the case

Reverse scoop also dropped off to be painted so looking forward to getting that on hopefully by the end of the week
