Default What's up! from DE.

Hey everyone, names Chris.

Little background on me:

Been in a lot of cars over the past few years hoping I would like one and stick with it, but the truth is I like changing things up.

List of cars/toys in the last 4 years:

2000 subaru 2.5rs
2006 subaru wrx limited
2005 subaru sti
2007 subaru legacy spec b
2010 Mitsubishi Evo X gsr
2012 Tacoma Trd offload
2006 Yamaha r6 raven
2003 100th anniv HD Softtail standard


I really enjoyed Subaru but always had a desire to get back into RWD after spending my first 10 years in domestic Rwd's. I'm not a professional but I have rebuild many cars over the years. Cars such as Messerschmidts, sunbeams, e type jags, old bentlys, Datsun z's, all sorts of triumphs, 3000gt, GSX eclipse, Saab turbos, Willys jeepsters, old American muscle and even some offroad beasts.

When I got into Subaru's in 2008 I really found my love for Forced induction and I even did a bit of tuning myself. I'm no whiz but I understand the basics. I eventually wanted to get into auto cross but I didn't want to do it in AWD, so I put a down on the Subaru Brz because i wanted a rwd, it was new, and when it arrived I took it for a ride. Loved how it handled but it just did have the pep that I was used to. So I broke down and got a Tacoma because I knew they are great trucks and every man should have a truck. After about a year of it I got bored (should have got the 6mt) so I sold it and picked up my 2009 370z 6mt. Gotta say, I really enjoy this car, it's light, nimble and plenty of power... For now FI to come in the near future.


Anyhow, if you actually read through I just wanted to say hello to everyone and I will try to be active here and represent the saddest little state around.

After clay bar/fresh wax:

-Cheers

I want a Blue 2003 sedan, WRX/STI doesn't matter as I'd build them the same either way. But finding one untouched is hard... Most have 150k+ mi.

Yeah, bugeye was my favorite style. Unfortunately one of the reasons I went away from Subaru was the kids. People just don't know how to treat cars and everyone wants a turbo out of the box car these days. I'll keep an eye out for ya. I still regular the nasioc forums.

In my area (South Central PA) it's RSXs and Integras. Civics are everywhere so that's a given.. I'm a fan of the RSX, not so much the integra, but when you see the same POS over and over again... it loses it's luster.

I haven't seen a quality rsx since they were discontinued. Good looking car too it's a shame.

If you want a bugeye, you're getting a wrx. The 04 was the first USDM Sti.
