I've had this car since Dec. '07. Traded my other car for it, reluctantly, it was hard to see her go but i needed some sort of upgrade. The Subaru WRX has also been one of my all-time favorite cars so it was a no-brainer to pick one of these up once i had the finances to do so.
Since day one, the upgrades have poured in. Within a month of owning it, it had a full exhaust system. I'd like to thank Ebay for that lol. Then maybe six months later I had a TXS fmic installed and then a Cobb AP V2 installed and the car was stage 2 flashed for a year roughly. Some Eibach lowering springs were put on around the same time. It stayed like this for about a year, then i sold the AP, went to Opensource for the second time (first time the shop i had flash the car the map was JUNK, codes left and right). Anywho, the list of mods is a bit high to just mention, I'll just list them in order from old to new.
