Default Introduction - Skipped

Hi all,

Long time lurker (about 2+ years, not on this account though), and thought I should really do an introduction up.

I've been a Mitsubishi fan boy for the last 3 or so years, my latest being a 6A12 Mirage Track Car and a PFL Galant VR-4. Though after getting tired of the galant throwing diffs left right and centre, and it being slightly not as practical as a Subaru, I decided to get a 96 WRX Wagon/Hatch in which I swapped the galant for.

In short, the car was practically 100% stock besides the bov being turned into a atmos, a catback system, lowering springs on stock struts and a dodgy 'momo' steering wheel. Since then it's been put on GD stock suspension all round, borrowed some 15" from a mate to replace the 17" for going bush, replaced the momo with a genuine OMP and replace the old/buggered oem bov with a Turbosmart Kompact.

About me:
Some of you may know me, I'm a regular volunteer for RallyWA having been a setter for Forest, Donnelly and Collie as well as a Deputy SC for Targa most recently. I'm also involved down at the Perth Motorplex as a scrutineer for all Drag Racing and Burnout events, as well as an ANDRA Steward in training.

So that's me, I was going to come to the cruise last Sunday but was too knackered after playing cars all of saturday, hopefully I'll get to meet you all at some point as I'm quite fond of cruises and meet ups

~Stuart.

PS. Yes I do take questions about WaW and I'll be usually the goto man for basic information on WaW, and yes I've already discovered the WaW thread :P

Welcome, good to see there is someone to ask questions about WAW and throw a lift kit in it.

Oh don't worry, it's already on the tables to lift it, we're thinking about 1"


And yup was down at the plex last night, it's rare if I'm not there when there is a WAW or Drag Racing event on.

My old lifted 96, put lots of the big 4X4's to shame.

Oh that's awesome! I need that BullBar as well! I'm going to definitely need to go some of that with mine at some point.

Bull bar and wheel holder were std Subaru items on the JDM Gravel Express, never heard of any others in Aus.
