Well, this is where it all starts. 1/30/09 - Traded in the Benz (check it out here http://www.cardomain.com/ride/626806 ) and picked up a 2008 WRX. Gotta say, loved the benz but it really weasn't putting up with the Milwaukee winter driving as much as I would have liked. Guess thats what I get from moving from Atlanta. But I'm excited, and getting ready to make this car my own. There are alot of possibilities out there, and I'm sure I'll be reaching out to you all soon enough! As for plans - well its a blank canvis right now, but I'll probably start with the stereo and tint since its the winter. Work on performance upgrades in the summer!
If anyone knows of some good auto shops in and around Milwaukee, please let me know!!!
Check out Page 2 for changes and current state. Thanks again for checking out my WRX - suggestions and comments are always welcome!
Some Picutres from the night I picked it up.
Here are some general Stock Photos .. lots in mind, and a few things in motion. After the first car wash =)
Some of the interior and Engine bay. The plan is to swap out the in-dash with a Double Din Navigation unit.
I have a lot planned but I'll update as it happends .. getting much done in the winter is always interesting. That added to the fact that all I have is a spot in a parking garage to do any DIY work - it makes it a little tough. So its a process ;)
What I would like to eventually get in there (in no real order):
Exhaust - Probably going to go with the MagnaFlow CBE, I think it looks and sounds great on the Sedan.
Short Throw shifter
Tune - COBB AccessPort or protune. Probably won't get the tune until the exhaust is in. Anyone know of any places in or around Chicago/Milwaukee??!!?
Currently In progress ..
I have the 2 amps that I still need to decide on what the set up is going to be. I have an Alpine MRP F450 amp for the Components, and an Alpine MRP M650 amp - Sub. Just stuck on when and what I'm going to do with them. Anyone have suggestions on what component speakers work in the front doors of an 08 WRX?!? I can't seem to find anything that works.
