Default new owner from iowa

Hey guys been lurking for a little while and finally decided to join. I work at the local Subaru dealership as a tech an had an 04 enthusiast traded in by the original owner with 25417 miles and all service records. test drove it and new I had to have it. a week later i finalized the paperwork and took it home. that was about a year ago.


so far ive added a jwt popcharger, z1 ztube, momentum performance y-pipe, and upgraded to oem brembos. the rear tires were almost shot when i bought it so i also added some xxrs to clear the brakes with 245/40 and 275/40 bfg tires. wheels are temporary until i figure out which wheels i really want.


ii look forward to continue learning everything i can from all of you and your wonderful informative posts.
