Default Newbie - update pics added!!

Hi ladies and gents

New to the forums just doing the intro thing

Picked up my first ever WRX last week 03 blue sedan. Will post pics soon needs a wash!

It's totally stock so I have a plan in mind I'll list what I'd like to do and achieve and welcome any feedback. Most of the info I have gathered has been from this site which has been awesome.

Basically I won't be doing track time in it however I'd be keen to do some club days things like that so I figure that may involve some light track work but that's by no means my primary focus. For me this wrx will be a weekend car and occasional weekday driver as I have a work car for business hours.

Engine modifications

Short term I'd like to get a TBE and tune. I've been to see Neil at MMS Malaga and he has been very helpful in getting the ball rolling.
Long term I'd love to get a bigger turbo/injectors/air intake/larger intercooler.

Suspension
Set of springs(lowered) and sway bars adjustable front and rear again I've been in contact with MMS regarding this.

Some other items that will be due in the next 3000-5000km's front brakes/slotted rotors, possibly clutch and a set of 18inch rims.

My budget isn't crazy and I'm not in a hurry hence I've had to break things down a bit but should all come together in the future. Thanks for reading and post feedback if you like.





Cheers!

Come on now Cranky Craig, surely there's a spelling error or a double space in there somewhere... :P

Welcome Newbie and good luck with your future mods

Come to our Fallen Heroes Memorial Cruise on Sunday, and bid for one of the items on the charity auction website. Preferably one of the higher priced ones *let the hard plugging begin*

I am interested in keeping track of the things I get done to the car and posting it here so as to help others (newbs like me) and to get feedback as I go. I have a question though where should I put this information? Should I start a new post or keep adding to this one or edit my original post and add the info there?

If someone could let me know the best way/format to use that would be appreciated. Sorry if this is a silly query bit of a forum newb as well.

Search function is the first port of call. Most questions have been asked and answered before. If there's no sign of an answer, then create a thread. Keep this thread for updates/mods, photos, etc.
